FRENCH FRIES

Sports minister V ikram Verma got a feel of all these on the opening day of the senior Asian wrestling champi - onship here in the Capital, just one week after he led the country s bid to host the 2010 Commonwealth Games. The minister was clearly embarrassed by the shoddy show and annoyed by the heat. He personally had to assure the continent s top wrestlers and high-level ofi- f cials that he would do something about it. He obviously won t be able to do anything about the soaring temper- atures that touched 42.4 degrees Celsius.
