Humpy's Woes.

Althought I'm a great fan if Rahul Dravid, it is unfortunate that sportspersons in India are losing out on sponsorship money due to the overwhelming focus on cricket, as was in the case of Chess grandmaster, Koneru Humpy.

Of course, the way it was done was also pathetic, as Humpy was in the process of gearing up for the World championship, and she wasn't given enough time to find other sponsors...well, Humpy good luck to you I say, and hope you do well in both - finding sponsorship and primarily competing in the championship.
