We Indians are too good at it!

Sania Mirza wanted to choose a life partner. She selected her childhood friend first but he had grown up and changed too much and so she rejected him even before the wedding! The next lucky guy was the handsome, young Pakistani cricket player Shaoib. Pakistani cricket is going through a very bad patch. No one knows if Shoaib will get a chance to represent the country once again! I may be exaggerating but at the same time I'm not trivialising either.Poor Sania, she's not doing well in her tennis most often plagued with injuries than by her opponents. She doesn't go beyond the second round of most of the ATP tournaments let alone grandslams. But still as Indians we applaud her and cry with her in her moments of agony (which are more frequent) and curse the opponent for pulverising our 'star player'!

Sania's second choice Shoaib incidentally, it is alleged, had promised another Indian Muslimgirl Ayesha that he'd marry her. The trouble started there. That was the hot discussion in the channels and the headlines screamed how Sania was caught unawares in this battle of wits. We had to do a lot of channel surfing for the last few days to keep off from Sania news!

Even some of my friends were indignant why Sania fell for a Pakistani. Love has no barriers-one should remember that. I feel there is nothing wrong in it. If you dig into the family histories of those who feel aggrieved over Sania's love for this dashing Pakistani there may be many skeletons in their cupboards. The least said about it the better!

What I hate to say about my countrymen is their penchant for gossips. They indulge in it! If it is a celeberity, the 'fun' is greater!Both Sania and Shoaib are grownups and they know how to handle their problems. Their family members are there to support them. Why should a third person be bothered about it?It's a crying shame that we have so many without any work to name who have time only to think and talk about others especially if they are having a torrid time. They can make their lives real hell.

It's time these upholders of virtue and righteousness make an introspection and assess themselves how virtuous and righteous they themselves are. I'm sure not even half of them can claim they have any moral standing to enable them to pick on others. Leave poor Sania and Shoaib. Let them marry and live happily wherever they want. Bless them if you can.
