A Childhood Crush
Everytime I see Steffi Graf, it is almost like seeing an ex girlfriend. To say I adored her from 1987 through 2000 would be a shameful understatement. I simply revered her. I remember seeing her on the cover of Sportstar(my mom always bought it for me on Wednesdays ever since I began to spell) for the first time in 1987 when she won the French Open. It was love at first sight. I never missed a match of hers on Television in the good ol days of Doordarshan and I never missed a photograph of hers on Sportstar. There were always prayers on the days of her finals and the folks who knew me - knew Steffi and my unabashed love for her. I picked up fights supporting her and crazily even called Gunther Parche(the guy who stabbed Seles) a "patriot". Many a times during my adolescence I have dreamt of dating Steffi. Even now if Agassi ever changes his mind, I am there for you - STEFFI!!!!!
