Thanks Armstong. I really hope the world knows about this. Did it not make it to the BBC??? All I see is that the strike has been lifted since dues have been cleared. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8455767.stm
UP CM Mayawati promises a miliam. (Speculatio: Vici?!!). And the Kal-man (Arre baba dukra --- lamtya, attan tukam "reasonable" mhunon gomlem) saith: "We have sorted out the problem," Indian sports official Suresh Kalmadi said. "The players have given us a list of demands, and most of them are reasonable." In future people in the know, break the news to the BBC, not for any reason but their reach. If one can access that, then its another critical strand in moderating discourse and slapping the satraps of the shit-eating grins. Btw, I hope that the arrogance on part of the hockey personnel and their ridicule (not the players) does not go up a few notches. Its like spouse abuse. I really hope they do not take it personally -- one of our worst Indian traits. venantius j pinto > Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 13:15:44 +0300 > From: armstrong augusto vaz <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Goanet] Goan doctor in London offers Rs 10 lakh for Indian > hockey players > (del) > Hockey Olympian and former chief coach Joaquim Carvalho said that Dr > James Leitao, a former student of Mumbai's Grand Medical College, has > decided to pay Rs 10 lakh for the protesting players, requesting them > to return to the camp and train for the World Cup which begins in New > Delhi on February 28. > > (del) > > Besides, Dr Leitao, who himself played hockey in London leagues, also > promised to donate his Goa residence to the Indian players if they > manage a podium finish in the World Cup. > > "If they manage the feat, it would be upto the players, what they want > to do with the property -- sell, rent or utilise the facility," > Carvalho added. >
