Sania :Strong head strong shoulder brought to u by head & shoulder .




Please excuse me guys for the uncivilised act of not taking bath for consecutively three days ......r u having ur nose with a stinking smell ....

hey cool i had the AXE , not to let guys arround me know of my true aroma ....and when my Pepe and Provogue outfits were the proof of my being a part of india's rising organised retail sector : who can dare to call me uncivilised .


but why do i am telling u all these and that too in a blog meant for sania mirza ....that's because my hairs were not co-operating with me and were constantly reminding me of my uncivilised act .......and here i had something called "head & shoulders".......Oh! wow there is a brand for every problem

but in the very next moment , i had to crap what this "shoulders" is doing in something meant for hairs on head ..

whatever , this brand had all the reasons to cast Sania as her brand ambasader with a punchline ......

Sania :Strong head strong shoulder brought to u by head & shoulder .





Sania's Skirt : Six inches long or 6 feet long



Recently sania break her silence on fatwa and said "As long as I am winning, people shouldn't care whether my skirt is six inches long or 6 feet long,""....................


Sania Mirza ji understand as long as u r winning : people should care about the size of ur skirt .Who cares what a failing Indian girl wears ??


As far as the length of the skirt is concerned , whether it should be " six inches long or 6 feet long" that's a billion watcher's querstion ???

Well , i would say the answer best lies in the " GENDER " of the crowd that rushes to the stadium .

If the gender polarises towrds the higher feminine i would say she can well afford to obey the Ulema .

If it goes towards masculine gender, six inches is cool . .A'nt that Mr Sponsor??

Sania cannot be compared to Sachin (yet).She has been over-hyped by the media.She should be left in peace,to play her game.She is exceptionally talented,but she needs time for her game to mature.Sania sells,because sex sells,unlike Rathore,and Malleshwari.Same reason Sharapova has been hyped to be the next monica seles,which she is not.

sania does not need to lose weight.The Hantuchova's and Sharapova's are not perfect athletic specimens,but are in fact under-built for power tennis.

You are completely clueless about tennis,if you think that Sania's backhand is weak.It is technically even more solid than the forehand,powerful,and she can create the kind of angles that you see more often in mens tennis.Her backhand down the line is excellent too.It is developing into a lethal weapon,to complement the forehand,which is the most dangerous weapon in womens tennis today.Technically, it is second only to the Graf forehand.Get out there and watch more tennis,because you obviously don't have a clue.If you understand anything about technique,and control of the racquet-face,you'd realise that she is a special talent,who could prove a worthy successor to sachin's iconic status.But not yet.

Of Sania and flaring tempers






The following write up was orignated at Musings of a meandering mind


There is a fine line between being aggressive and being arrogant.I am aggressive and not arrogant".This in response to a question on her attitude in an interview recently.Frankly speaking she had crossed that line soon after her match against Serena Williams last year.Why do people find it so hard to keep their feet on their ground after meeting with a little success is beyond me.She is great for the game in the country no doubt but with success comes responsibility and thats something Madam Mirza has still to learn. I dont have a problem with her T shirts or the fact that she cant serve but walking out of press-conferences mid way is just not acceptable.Last week s incident was not only an insult to the firm for which she is doing an ad-campaign but also to a certain Mohanlal who was also present there.Either keep your mouth shut when asked for an opinion on controversial topics like pre-marital sex or be prepared to peppered further even if your addressing the media on other matters. BTW,can non-muslim, non-clerics issue a fatwa?


I dream that Sania has married Pathan








In Andhra Herald i read an interesting Dream description titled
" I dream that Sania has married Pathan"










Dream goes like this ......

" I dream that Sania has married Pathan "

For the last two months, I have been regularly dreaming that cricketer Irfan Pathan has married Sania Mirza at Lal Bahadur Stadium. The barat came from Baroda along with Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and other VIPĂ‚’s, like Sonia Gandhi, Jaipal reddy, P.C. Chidambaram and other dignitaries, who were received in Hyderabad by Ms. Jayalalithaa, G.V.K Reddy, chief minister Rajasekhar Reddy and Speaker Suresh Reddy.


All the leading Indian cricketers attended the wedding and were dancing to the tune of Kajra Re, Sachin, along with Renuka Chowdary, was vigorously dancing bhangra.


All the members of Secunderabad Club and Nizam Club were invited to this wedding and Nawab shah Alam KhamĂ‚’s family handled the catering.

Foreign dignitaries like George W. Bush and Prince Charles enjoyed the haleem and chicken birayani and the entire wedding was covered by the world media.

Please interpret my dream as its recurs again and again - Ashok Chand; Hyderabad

This dream was interpreted by professionals( Indira Bhangar ) as .......

Dream Analysis: The repetitive nature of this dream indicates anxiety as there may be a deep hidden desire and need to enjoy recognition, fame, power and a significant position in life. It points towards bringing together and balancing the creative and practical, and that it is the right time for self-exploration and realizing you own potential. It also reflects wishful thinking, of being associated with resourceful people and feeling motivated and inspired to develop their inherent qualities.





How true this dream shall be ??? Only time will tell !! ............for now it has injured Rajesh Jayaprakash a blogger whose comments on this dream are

.. that I wake up late on a Sunday morning, finish reading The Hindu, turn my attention to Deccan Chronicle for some comic relief, and in the course of flipping through its pages, land up at Indira Bhangar's column, where somebody writes in that they had a dream that Sania Mirza had married Irfan Pathan and would Ms Bhangar please interpret this dream for them, and I fall off the bed, rolling with laughter, and injure myself.

Oh wait, that wasn't a dream.





Why one billion people can't be wrong about Mirza

YOU don't want to mess with Sania Mirza. 'You can either agree with me or be wrong' read the slogan on one of her figure-hugging tee-shirts. 'Well-behaved women rarely make history' read another, worn at Wimbledon last year, while 'I'm cute? No shit' was emblazoned across her frontage at the US Open in September. Ms Mirza has attitude, in case you had not guessed.
When players talk about pressure, they sigh and try to explain what it is like to have a crowd of tennis fans taking an unnatural interest in their every move. Mirza, though, comes from India and not only faces the regular trials and tribulations of a professional athlete and celebrity, she also has one billion people at home following, and discussing, her progress. She admires the likes of Tim Henman and Andy Murray for the way they cope with the media circus that follows them at Wimbledon, but she knows that the pressure she faces is on another level again. "The only difference is that I have a billion people following them and they don't!" she laughed. "I am from India and I have to face it. These are the pressures I'm going to have for the rest of my life and there's nothing I can do about it.
"This is what my country is like and people in India get very emotional about their heroes."
Coming from a nation, and, indeed, a family, of cricket lovers, Mirza broke the mould from the moment she picked up a tennis racket at the age of six. Her talent was obvious from the start but with little by way of training facilities in her home town of Hyderabad, and with only her father to teach her, she constructed a style for herself that is based more on determination than traditional technique. As in everything else in her young life - she is just 19 - she has taken on tennis and done it her way. Her competitive fire has already brought her one tournament title - her home town event last year - and a current ranking of 38 in the world. Like most teenagers, she is not yet ready to become a leader for her generation but, still, she is regarded as either an icon or "a corrupting influence" in her home country. She is a practising Muslim but some more right-wing clerics in India have already attacked her for appearing in public in her tennis kit, clothing they deem to be highly unsuitable for a young woman. One group of fundamentalists even went as far as to issue a fatwa against her, threatening to stop her from playing unless she followed the Islamic dress code.
Fortunately for Mirza, India is a very large country and a large proportion of the 100 million Muslims living there are just pleased to see her succeed. Admittedly, these days she has bodyguards to protect her when she goes home, but they are there to fend off as many autograph hunters and journalists as religious zealots.
It is a lot for anyone to take on board, much less a teenager, but Mirza is a tough cookie. Sharp as a tack, willing and able to defend herself but also ready to laugh at the absurdities of her life, she does her best to put everything into perspective.
When her doubles partner, Liezel Huber, complained that the Bangalore crowd was too noisy as the duo were on the way to claiming the title this year, Mirza reminded her "you know what, you'd rather have them with you than against you".
"So you just have to take everything optimistically," Mirza said. She takes the same attitude to her career. She announced herself as a contender last year by winning in Hyderabad but this year the opposition has sized her up, worked out her weaknesses - her serve - and kept her quiet. Her best result came in Birmingham last week where she reached the third round. Enlisting the help of Tony Roche, Roger Federer's mentor, to sort out that serve, she is keeping her expectations to a minimum while she reconstructs her game and plans her move towards the elite level.
"There are so many people in India who believe I can be No.1 in the world by the end of the year," she said, "and if I start saying that I am going to top ten, then that will just put extra pressure on me. That's why I want to set myself realistic goals. If I stay in the top 50 this year, then that will be achieving my goal, but if stay in the top 25 then that will also be achieving my goal. But I think my main goal is never to be satisfied."
In theory, her plans for Wimbledon this year should also be low-key. But Mirza is both a fighter and a realist and at 19, she has plenty of time to develop her career. And with so many people following her, she will never be short on support. "Wherever I'm playing, whether it's at home or at Wimbledon, the amount of Indians that live in Wimbledon, it almost feels like home," she said. One billion people can't be wrong.
