Polo does not discriminate: Rowena Stichbury

IMPHAL, Nov 23: “Polo is perhaps the only game in which there is no discrimination between the sexes where the female of the species plays on equal footing with their male counterparts”’ said Rowena Stichbury, the only lady polo player taking part in the 10th Manipur Polo International, 2016. This being so, Rowena does not believe in giving any quarters while on the polo field nor does she expect any from her male team-mates or opponents. A dictum she passes on to her daughter Izzy, all of 14 years, who is also a polo player, “ do not expect any special treatment just because you are a girl”.

Viewing blockade through the lens of EVMs Not the time for one upmanship

Assembly election will be held only in 2017. But it is more than clear that the term ‘election year’ has now come to fit the fag end of 2016 to the T. Nothing wrong with this for it is the run up to the election that will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the voting behaviour of the people.

Now, call it ‘Messpur’

The more apt term to describe Manipur today would be to call it ‘Messpur’. Earlier I had used the term “functional anarchy” to describe the state, but that appears to have lost its relevance now. The state seems to have withered away before the revolution and it appears that there is nobody in charge although siren-wailing VIPs continue to criss-cross the state at any given moment of time.

If one of your legs and thighs has sudden appearance of swelling, redness and raised temperature and you feel difficulty while walking, this may be an indication of a very serious condition called Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The lack of exercise, avoidance of long walk, sitting long hours in front of computers and use of contraceptives or hormones by ladies, do play a significant role in the recent rapid rise in incidences of Deep Vein Thrombosis. Besides, use of fashionable high-heeled sandals and shoes do increase the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis especially among modern, educated and young ladies.
