Calamity Jane

So my injured lower back and a nasty bout of flu have been followed by an ear infection. Apparently, the powers that be don't want me to endanger other species by cycling, swimming or just stepping out of the house. My father has a very satisfied grin on his face whenever he's around me now, I've taken my moniker of Calamity Jane (given by him, of course) to new heights. (The ear infection is particularly useful in some situations: I can't hear much now, and this silence would have been pure bliss if not for the pain.)



This carnival of maladies sounds impressive to no one except me. 3 nasty pains < 1 big, serious illness which can justify a leave from office. So I've been spending quality time with the pantry in our office, my eyes endlessly inundated by NDTV News on the TV. And it was here that I discovered that I have a partner in pain: Indian sports!

One after another, the various federations that make up Indian sports have been falling to the great affliction called Corruption. It's just as well. It seems a blitzkreig of derecognitions/suspensions will do what years of limping along couldn't do for our sports: get it some attention. People say this derecognition-virus going around will purge all the federations, and fix Indian sports.

Umm.. will my various afflictions purge me too?

Fix me?

What if I don't want to be fixed?

    Revacious,

    All sports federations can have virus and be purged but not you young lady. How are you feeling now? Do take adequate precautions and do not neglect medicines.

    Take care

    Here is an interesting read on IOC-IOA circus.

    And, you don't want to be fixed? You just want more sick leaves, don't you? Bloody opportunist!

    Woww! When I first started reading this I inadvertently backed away from the screen hoping not to catch any of what you've got.
    But time marches on and you will heal. Maybe some preventative maintenance next time?
    Happy new nears times anyways. . .
