Rakhi Sawant and Roger Federer!!!

NOOO!!! They’re related in absolutely no way, so don’t worry! To me, they’re just stuff on TV! I’m just addicted to the television (and other such wonderful distractions!) during the exam time! I end up watching all kinds of rubbish.

Well one of the things I stumbled upon was “Rakhi Sawant ka Swayamvar” and all I can say is I’m APPALED! At how ANYONE in the entire world can commercialise, publicise and bring a sacred thing like marriage down to such a CHEAP level. No, really anyone who has seen the show and anybody who thinks it’s the least bit entertaining has to be crazy in the head.

And what’s with the contestants on the show? Who would want to marry Rakhi Sawant. She’s overly dramatic- “Aaj doodh ka doodh or paani ka paani ho gaya” and all that. And not like she’s pretty, she’s exceptionally fake. In every sense of the term and she behaves all coy and all that which she is so NOT. And it’s very evident that she’s a bad mouthed ugly looking cheap female. And the men go all ga-ga about her “main tumhare liye chand taare todke laaonga” and all that… How could marriage be based on who maro-s the most filmy dialogue! These men are so corny, it’s disgusting. It makes me want to throw up.

I don’t want her to be the epitome of the “modern Indian woman!” That’s how she’s portrayed and she behaves like she’s Aishwarya Rai and with all the “I am what I am” attitude She appears nothing short of senile!

And why I had the audacity to mention Roger Federer in the same sentence with Rakhi Sawant?! Cos unfortunately they both appear on the same television set in my house! (Bad joke! )

I watched the Wimbledon final last Sunday (despite having an exam the very next day) and oh-my-God what a match. I’ve been watching Tennis for a while now and this arguably was the best match I’ve ever seen. Andy Roddick was such an awesome opponent. I’ve always been a Federer supporter. His level of tennis is a whole class apart, but that day Roddick put up such an amazing show. It was really really gripping. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed the last set of any match going up to 15 points. That was SO awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed the nail-biting game. And sometimes Sport has to be unfair and declare only one winner. Federer deserved it. But Roddick also deserved it.

But Andy Roddick- A true hero. This post dedicated to him!
