Turf Monster

written by: Raphfael Wormge

Reaching,
Grabbing
Swiping at feet;
To feed a hunger
That needs quenching.

Here and there,
Everywhere; on
Different fields of play,
And the occasional Soccer
and Rugby pitches too.

Always attacking the
Runner’s foot;
Mad because they aren’t
There every day.

Regularly happy to grab feet
Of every shape and size;
Even on pitches across the world.

So as you are playing
The sport of your choosing,
Stay eternally aware
Of the elusive Monsters of Turf.

ALBERT CAMUS’S – 'THE PLAGUE' - ITS RELEVANCE TODAY by GS Subbu

How relevant is the ‘The Plague’ to the present scenario we find ourselves in? It is really astounding that when you go through the book you realize that what is happening now is very similar to what has been described in graphic detail decades ago. Whether it is the fear psychosis, the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dedicated and tireless work of groups of individuals in taking care of the afflicted, the resistance to the imposition of stringent regulations by the authorities and lastly the realization that we have to move on but with a changed perspective and living a new life.
