Sania Nehwal's Heroics at the Australian Open 2014

In a country where Men's cricket is the only sport that gains the attention of the masses for international accolades, unfortunately, the amazing feats of Indian sportspersons in other highly competitive sports sinks into oblivion...
As the elegy written in a country church yard goes...
"Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air."

but then there are a few like Dhyan Chand, Prakash Padukone, Pullela Gopichand, Leander Paes, Mahesh Bhupathi and Vishwanathan Anand who make it so big that they stick to our memory and keep reminding us why Indian sports is not only about cricket... I am sure Sania Nehwal is now in that list of greats. Thank you!
