Sania Mirza - A Wonderful Comedienne

Generally comedienne(s) are rare species. Whoopi Goldberg, our Aachi Manorama and 'Kovai' Sarala (though I am not a great fan of the last two) are few to mention. In my opinion, even the best comedienne will fell short when they are pitted against Comedians like Chaplin, Nagesh and others when it comes to sense of humour and timing. But for the past 2 years, I am seeing and reading a real time Comedienne in Sania Mirza and she might prove me wrong.

Her comments and mannerisms in post match interviews will make you wonder whether you are listening to Sania or Chris Evert. Even the greatest will show some kind of modesty unlike Sania who is blowing her own trumpet sans any shame. I just want to list some of the 'knowledgeable' comments may by our Hyderabadi Beauty.

1. 'People can't expect me to win every match. Like anyone, I will also have some off-day' - When was she winning on the trot. May be in her dreams.

2. 'At the end of this year, I want to enter top fifteen in WTA rankings' - She thinks entering into top 15 is as easy as entering a lavatory. On the same day, Svetlana Kuznetsova responded to this comment by saying 'I don't know how she is going to make it into top 15. She doesn't have a great serve, weak backhand, her mobility is less and she need to improve her temperament. She gives up too quickly.'

3. 'Ranking doesn't matter until you win matches. Winning matches are more important than ranking' - Can someone explain this to me, please !!! Every month her ranking is increasing like Chennai auto rickshaw meter charge.

4. And the latest (see today's Hindu). 'I had a phenomenal first year. It is humanely impossible to repeat it year after year. Critics are always there, I am an optimistic person so looking forward to doing better' - When did that happen?? What kind of phenomenal year she had?? whether she won all the grand slams on that year??

'SANIA CRASHES OUT' 'SANIA BOWS OUT' 'SANIA LOSES IN THE FIRST ROUND'.

You can find anyone of the above headlines in the Hindu paper's sports column once in fortnight. When a NDTV correspondent asked Vijay Amritraj to predict the future of Sania Mirza, he said 'Around 2010, either she will be in the top 10 or she will be in the Bollywood'. Then the correspondent asked which one is likely to happen in 2010. He just gave a smile and the smile says it all. But she enjoys the media attention and I don't know why media is going ga-ga over this mediocre girl.

PS: If her performance is going to continue like this, we can conduct a 'Pattimandram' with a 'Thalaipu' 'Indiavin ethirkaalam - Saniava alladhu Gagan Ajit Singhin Hockey teama' and Solomon Popaiya as 'Naduvar'.

And all you do is sit and type your useless observations. At least she made it to International circuit. You are some useless junk blogging to kill time.
