A great weekend for India
I'm sure most of the readers of my blog have been fixated with the ongoing Ind-Pak cricket Test since yesterday. But, in the meanwhile, two Indians have done much better than their millionaire-cricketer-countrymates. Bhupathi went on to win his umpteenth Grand Slam title by winning the mixed doubles; this time pairing up with Hingis. Bhupathi's exploits receive hardly any press coverage as compared to that received by our worthless cricketers, and even in tennis, he is sadly overshadowed by Paes, who has fewer Grand Slam titles than him. After the Paes-Bhupathi combo split up, the press seems to have foresaken him.
In addition to Bhupathi's win, it was a great weekend for India in golf too. Arjun Atwal ended up fourth in the Buick Open. Mind you this is a primary PGA Tour event with all the top players in the fray (Tiger Woods won it as usual ... looks like I'm gonna have to find someone else to support from now on). Considering the standing of Indians in golf, this is certainly a major breakthrough. Let's hope Atwal keeps up the good form and maybe even wins some tournament on the PGA Tour this year.
Can't believe I actually typed out this post with a deadline coming up in 12 days ... I was just so shocked to read about Atwal's performance ;)

he had four eagles in a round rite? Amazing. But he has this bad habit of having one excellent round followed by a disastrous one. Almost every tournament it happens. Meanwhile, wonder what happened to that Golf god, Jeev milkha singh...:).
Once he got married to Chitrangada , how can you expect him to concentrate on trivial pursuits like golf any more? ;-)
I am so glad we have some match winners like dhoni, pathan and yuvraj.All we need is some class bowlers.I wonder if i made a wrong decision to come abroad for studies.;)
Just for the record, I stand corrected - Chitrangada Singh is the wife of Jyoti Randhawa, not Chiranjeev Milkha Singh. Sorry!
