Tennis and the T

The usual struggle everyday, wake up and walk to the Subway and if lucky get a seat and nod on n off to sleep,
the time the T (subway in Boston) takes is around 15 mins so its an awkward amount of time to spend, usually carry a book with me
Terry Pratchett has been a good companion for amny a ride and the last book I read was The King of Torts .. got my hands on it and read it cos I didnt have anything else at hand .. had even fin readin the Canon S1 IS manual .. and if I could would hav ready the espanyol version too :-)
Today was different as was feeling more sleepy than usual when from the corner of my eye happened to look at the newspaper being read by the person sitting next ..
Sania Mirza, the latest teen sensation or somethn along the lines .. tried to surreptiously read what the article was about, and turns out she is turnign quite a few heads with her twinkling nose ring and how she being a orthodox Muslim and yet wears tennis attire ... seems she has a bodygaurd after receiving threatening letters .. oh yes, there was also a mention that she played good tennis ..
later on out of curiousity checked on espnstar and saw another article on her..

If she wins her next round match, she will face another 18 year old ... Sharapova ..
Looking forward to that match

Read the Espanyol version dude..would be good timepass! And yeah, I guess the camera has enough fetures to have one occupied for long!
And Sania, truly, she looks like the next big thing in world tennis! From 166 to 42 in less than a year, and this would go to about 32/33 after the US open 4th round loss! Awesome man...and a girl with spunk...you should see some of her crosscourt backhands! Eve-teasers would not go within racquet-distance of her. She would murder them!
