Hungry for heroes - 2

Its not the happiest thing to write, but write I must. I was ready to eat crow. But whatever I predicted turned to be true.

Sania Mirza crashed out of the French Open singles in the first round, and in the second round in the doubles. And if you noticed, the media didn't report it at all. In fact I had to go to French Open website to figure that out.

This reminds me, that whenever there was a cricket match involving India that I wasn't watching, I could know the results this way - if in the next day's paper, there's the big pic of Indians celebrating or some Indian player in action on his way to a great performance, or a really big headline touting Indian win, India won. If not, India lost, and I'd find that article in the sports section.

On the other side. Narayan Karthikeyan is also struggling with Jordan. To be fair to him, the guy has his feet on the ground.

I wanted them to win, but I know how it works in India.

Don't be surprised if you see more Sania Mirzas and Karthikeyans in the making, and these ones dumped for good. For the country hungry for heroes, this is a way of life.
