Idiotic Craze - Blame the media

Even as I pen this article, I see a reporter at Headlines Today commenting about the on going craze for her at the Sunfeast Open...Now wait a minute...who am I talking about? Yeah...Sania Mirza, who made waves when she made it to the 4th round in the US Open, one of the prestigious Grand Slam. She could be a budding performer alright but what happened to others? The others who are budding in other sports, and the others who already made it to the top earlier in the same sport and other sports? Why her now? What decides the media to go 'ga-ga' about her? And keep watching her moves? Why do they idolize her?

And another important thing that gets to my nerves was the media going overboard for performers in the minority communities as opposed to the ones in the majority community...Why is this bias in a Hindu majority nation? Do we want to prove our secularity to others by doing so? Why this bias? I was so irritated with all the media hype and got a link to another blog where what I just had in mind was written...Check it out -

It is a fantastic write up on the overall Sania "Mania"...

Read the comments mainly...while I appreciate SM for her commendable work, I fail to understand her stand on her own performance or say underperformance...I feel she is blind to her own faults...she needs to improve, infact improve a lot in order to make a positive mark at international level. Humbleness is the key to self-realization which inturn is the key for success. That's my take!

Now as I conclude this article I read the headlines about "The Mitrokhin Archives" that says the media was bribed time and again by KGB...Well, I am really not surprised!
