Back in Action

hey all-
well am back in action after a long lay off since i fell and then had a bout of viral fever but am all mended now and had a few things to put out there...
well the first thing i would like to talk about is the new "policy" that the govt has put out there that has everyone up in arms. The basic fundamental that is being said (you can check it out of govt website) is that all federations should be accountable for all the money they take. Is that so wrong?? I can't get what the uproar is about. If you expect govt. funding then why is it such a big deal to put out a report as to how you are tackling the problems in each sport. That is ofcourse assuming you are doing something. I am befuddled as to what the problem really is.

Ok other news...
Abhinav Bindra has been complaining about his body condition to me ever since i have known him so he has a new australian physio devoted to take care of his different problems. For those who don't know Abhinav, his attention to detail is something else and can't even be compared to anyone or anything else. He is a phenomenal shooter who isn't even satisfied by shooting a 10.9 if it doesn't feel right. Go figure... so lets hope the physio can get everything from his toes to pelvis feeling good so at least he can feel good while shooting those high scores....
I keep telling him who cares as long as the score is high but no no everything has to "feel" right :)

Then there is another physio on his way to take care of the rest of the kids, he is arriving in Kochi tomorrow with Saina being his first assignment... She needs a lot of attention to her fitness so we are hoping that thins should get her on a good foot for beijing.

So more from there day after...

Hey Manisha,

Good to hear you are back in action after a lay off, have been missing your comments..........
Well lot of these guys in the federations who have been living off the Govt funding and ensuring they only get to eat the cake and keep it too are obviously feeling the pain........ good that the Ministry and some others have woken up to the fact and want accountability...... good job done, however, what needs now to be seen is the implementation and the will of the govt......
Lots of action happening on our front too and will surely come out of the oblivion some day when the task is accomplished.......

As usual signing off ........
