It was a shocker when I heard that Sania Mirza had announced that she will quit tennis after getting married and that she had left the decision on her husband.
Though it will be a personal decision for Sania Mirza if she wants to quit tennis. Whenever she wants to do it. However, she must remember one thing that she has been seen as a person who has stood up to societal pressure and taken on the fundamentalist elements within her community. She was seen standing up to the mullahs who had demanded that she cover up before going on court. This is not a frivolous issue and will affect the womenfolk in a community known for its backwardness. Any decision taken by her will have far reaching impact. So please act cautiously.

Jyoti Basu
Why this hue and cry over the death of Jyoti Basu? It seems that we have forgotten the way he had turned the state around from being a forward state to a backward state. It is only Indian culture that has stopped the media from bringing up this fact that he was the sole reason for the flight of industry and educated professionals from West Bengal. So please stop these sob stories and let him rest in peace. For what he did during his lifetime was worse than whet the Laloo rule did to Bihar over a period of 15 years.

Spooked out
Why can't the government find normal people for posting into Raj Bhawans across the country. The practice of posting spooks to these positions is only creating one bad precedent after another. Will the government let them retire or continue to get its dirty work being done by them posted in hostile states.
And by the way what is with this way of posting Governors without the say of local elected government. We aren't living in the British imperialist era anymore. So the state government should have some say, if not equal say, in the appointment of Governors to their respective states.
This is one point which needs to be looked at urgently to avoid a fiasco like Andhra Pradesh.
