Advantage Krishna

With a tennis buff at the helm of affairs,tennis diplomacy is suddenly in vogue. The French were the first off the block,extending an invite to External Affairs Minister,who plays lawn tennis,for a gala party to mark the French Open final at the Embassy. Krishna may have preferred to watch it at home,but the buzz is that the British,Americans and Australians are planning to call him to watch their Grand Slam events in their respective countries. In fact,at a Hyderabad House do to introduce the new Foreign Minister to the diplomatic corps,the jokes and conversation all revolved around 8220;love8221;,8221;set8221; and 8220;ace8221;. Ironically though,Krishna has had to miss out on his daily tennis routine due to his increased workload in the new job.
