Sportive spirit
A friend stunned me with a question. Do you hold Indian nationality? It took a while for me to realise why he asked the question.
I realised that the reason was the recent controversy involving chess champion Vishwanathan Anand’s nationality.
Since I had spent 16 happy years in the UAE and keep praising that country too often, my friend got the doubt. Anand has bagged many awards and brought laurels to India.
Sports personalities should be respected and kept away from politics.
