A sporting view!

Nobody knew who Saina Nehwal was until 2009. A simple, Haryanvi girl, went on to become the first
Indian to win World Junior Badminton Championship and currently ranked 4th in the world.


Fewer people know that she is has received a brown belt in karate. But now she is a household name
for her excellence in the field of badminton. Her achievements have created frenzy among all the age
groups. I find both young and adults play badminton every evening at our society lawn. Even my didu,
tells my cousin to be like her.


Well, is it only I or everyone seeing a transition in the idol worship? As far as I know, indeed, there is
slight shift. Enough of Tendulkar, now the coming generation have someone else to look up to.
