For over a week now, the news of the possible sania-shoaib tie-up has been all over the places. With who-knows-who-is-this Ayesha from Hyderabad, the i-will-decide-everything Thackres from Mumbai, we-also-exist fundamentalists and rest interested for a masaladaar news leaving no room for better sense to prevail, I am sure this episode is gonna travel some miles albeit crossing that do-not-touch-me indo-pak border. I will not be surprised if white house issues a statement offering to mediate this (ye)S-(ye)S tie-up.
Well, sania has always been media’s darling for whatever she does or does not do. Such a poor thing for the Hyderabad lass. I remember her speaking to the British media post a match at Wimbledon and she handled so beautifully a sensitive question on her religious affiliation and her tennis attire inviting ire of some self proclaimed custodians of a belief back in India. I was taken completely aback. What a matured and responsible answer and the Brit chapie appeared scratching his head !!! And I just loved the way she spoke. But sadly, her tennis (the best in the class for and from the Indian sub-continent) amidst everything, unfortunately had to fall prey. Am sure many tennis lovers would have been disappointed beyond description.
Ever since she broke into the intl tennis circuit, the poor girl has been subjected to kitna kuchh. How stupid- others had to take a call on what she had to wear on the court!!Q. I wish someone could dare saying that to the Kurnikovas and Williams. Next time when an Indian goes to compete with Usain Bolt, he would be asked to run with a lungi or a dhoti on. And why not try heptathlon in the commonwealth games wearing saree. But then, who to blame!!! We Indians are so hell bent on calling the heads of people that make us hold our own high in pride.
Now Uddhab and Balasaheb are singing contradicting tunes on someone’s personal decision ! man, some people are so pata-nehin-kya-type. Worse, these are the people whom we choose, select and elect to script the destiny of a billion.
But for a change, a non-politician’s personal life hugging so much limelight in India is certainly a sign of progress .
Why cannot we leave two people alone to decide what they want (not) to do (well within the legal framework)? Doesn’t my land give me a right to my private life?
