Hi all,
After a long time, I am back to blogging. I did not write for these days, not because I did not get any topic; it is because I did not feel like writing. This time, I am compelled to write this. You will understand this only if you happened to read beyond this.
I know you guys will be curious after seeing the title. So let me start right away.
It is amazing to see the first Indian winning Super Series Tournament. Anyways, how many of us (including myself) do have time to watch these games or even bothered to know even the results of these games. I am not going to complain about this because each of us has a right to watch/love any game.
On winning this tournament, Saina got 2 Lakhs (not in $) from our government. Not to mention that this money is hardly 10 percent of what each player received on winning T20 ’08. Anyway, it is waste to complain about the government, because we (as well as players) are used to this kind of treatment from the government.
If you want to know who I am going to complain, read further...
Usually, my morning Twit status will be either “Good Morning” or “Waiting for Newspaper”. I really love reading newspaper (The Hindu) in the morning because it is the best thing to do in a morning if you happened to wake up earlier than the usual. Today I came to know about the Saina’s victory, because I woke up early today. But I was not really happy after reading (read seeing) today’s newspaper.
In the front page, the newspaper carried Afridi’s photo which almost covered the entire page. The newspaper also had a passport size photo of Saina on the uppermost right corner. I believe she deserves much more than this (of course, she is beautiful too). Now that you read this, you can appreciate the title. Even then, I have to substantiate the reason of the title.
I was able to do this only after checking with “Times of India”. I will say TOI is really fair in this matter, not because they carried a photo of Saina which covered one fourth of the front-page; it is because they had a passport size photo of Pakistan team in the same page.
Every time I used to thank the person who happened to be the source of my blog. This time, I am confused whether to thank “Saina” or “The Hindu”. I am finishing my blog by thanking “TOI”.
Don’t forget to leave your comments.
