Decade without Diana !!

World passed its first decade after princess Diana. As royal family & citizens of UK mourn her 10th anniversary, many around the world too pay silent respect.When the couple got married, few even described it as "Love" of century. This one marriage cleared the air of royality not just in its genetic footprint but in mindset as well. ofcourse the world admired her. So did many British.
The story of Diana from an innocent school teacher to becoming the princess had become a sort of inspiration to many women. Her service to community was one aspect which was never questioned. She trotted the globe doing her service. Even met Mother Teresa on her visit to India. She never hesitated to use her charishma for greater cause - be it anti-land mine campign or a fund raiser !

The most of whom who miss her are ofcourse - William & Harry !! Along with them we also mourn the loss of a great Princess who sure would have made Royality more in tune with reality rather then exclusivity !

Decade without Diana has seen growth in terror & crime against women & children in unthinkable terms. We hope her admirers would continue to work for a war free world for which she was always championed for !!

Stunning Sania - On a sizzling play!!!

Indian teen tennis star Sania Mirza continues her victory roll in the US open series - latest East-West Bank classic. Sania took 1.38 Hr to route Martina Hingis out of the tournament. The latest victory seems to be a "Victory Serial" being directed by Sania starting almost from this year Start. A few worthwhile victories of Sania Mirza in 2007 :
  • Win over eighth seeded Austrian Bammer in the semi-finals of the Bank of the West Classic tournament in Stanford.
  • Thrashing sixth-seeded Tatiana Golovin of France 6-4, 6-1 in the 4th round match in Standford classic
  • Starts the year with 53 on Jan 13th,2007
  • Rank 50 on May 25th
  • Back to top50 on Jun 11 ..
  • June 25, 2007 Rank - 44
  • July 7th rises to Rank : 38
  • Rank 31 on Aug 1st after Standford classic

One of her aim has been to break the top 20 this year. The only other Indian tennis player to on 23rd was Ramesh Krishnan, long ago ! I hope we can re-live the excitment again through Sania Mirza !!

Good going Sania !!
