Justine Henin-Hardenne is in the Australian Open women’s singles final having knocked down Maria Sharapova in the semifinal. Losing the first set, she came back into match to win 4-6 6-1 6-4. I am a great fan of Henin-Hardenne and the least that of Sharapova. So nothing could have been better news for me. Up against her in the final is Amelie Mauresmo, the muscular Frenchwoman, who got an easy walking into finals as Kim Clijsters withdrew in the 3rd set following an ankle injury.
Waiting to see a good final. Hope Justine wins. All the best to her!

SMS should be in syllabus
The Madhyamik (secondary examination of my state) syllabus has been thoroughly revised. In our time — I gave Madhyamik in 2003 — we had telegram-writing. It carried 10 marks in the English paper. Now that the syllabus has been restructured, I wonder if it is still there. I, for one thing, think that telegram-writing should be phased out from the syllabus. After all, who bothers to send a telegram these days? Instead SMS-writing should be incorporated in the syllabus. This is one way we can keep up with the changing times. Be it an SMS or a telegram, the challenge before the pupil is the same — that is, summing up a given situation in a concise form.
