Skein cipher “Sania”

Again events taking there toll on me. This week though, we found something very interesting. The “US open”! I know many of us even would have guessed what I am going to write about.

Let’s see the build up to the match first. The run up to the Sania-Sharapova dual was clearly over hyped by all the TV channels. With some channels even crossing the line by saying that the Indian-wonder will go on and beat the number 2 seeded, to crash enter the semis. All day long, some channels kept showing the same news. But to my utter disappointment, not even one of them told us about the timings of the match itself!
It started at 12.20 am and hardly by 1.30; Sharapova slammed all the hopes of anticipating Indians. But the match was special, not for the reason that it was the first time ever to be with an Indian that far in the US open, but Sania herself. She knew that despite loosing, she has procured something really important.
Post-Us open, Sania is not merely a name from some abstract sports, but has redefined the cricket frenzy nation to the power of Tennis. Not difficult to guess, that the next day, her total income from the grand slam and the endorsements was calculated, very efficiently and was displayed on many news sites and newspapers.
Those channels who felt lagging, made hoopla out of her “T”-shirts and tailored out some spice out of them.

No doubt Sania is a wonder for India, and has shown the mantle of growing up to the top, but these sought of mindless news building will not take us anywhere. We are forcing her into these interviews, and chat shows, where all sought of silly questions are thrown at her way. Even if she has a pre decided core, then also these type of things can disturb her focus. We as responsible citizens should understand that.


Some time ago, an Indian born, noble scholar said that we Indians might be scholars, but not “Thinker”. I have no different views from him. Because we haven’t proved it! We certainly have to grow up to this place if we have to be thinkers. Sania has to be given space enough for concentrating to her game. And if we scholars cannot see that and seek satisfaction on making her a poster girl, instead of holding a grand slam, we will not grow to Thinkers!!

The market is buzzing with the word Sania, and she is busy choosing these days. There have also been some repercussions about Sania’s wardrobe at the grand slams. To be honest it doesn’t even looks like giving a thought. This sought of abstruse ideologies should be done away with, as fast as possible.

Sania is the new kid on the block. She should collect all the accolades that come her way, but at the same time should keep her eye on the ultimate target. She has done well and deserves the applause also. Lets be “Thinkers” enough to let her fly to the top… as if for now!!
