KANPUR: It was a lethargic attitude yet unexciting day at Green Park here. There were a handful of sports girls present for their trial to secure admission at the sports hostel.

That sometimes they left in the lurch and other times, they do not have to be left high and dry. That it is possible for budding talents to strand or something like it, in the strangest of places. Their ordeal tells that real story better than mere written words.
