Nadal: If only Federer wasn’t there, I would have been the greatest.
Djokovic: Despite both of you I’ve won 3 Grand Slams this year, been No.1 for 3 months and lost just one completed match in 2011!
The greatest challenger to the greats?

Somewhere in FedEx Land…
Bhagwan ke naam pe sirf ek aur Grand Slam de de re baba!

Rafa…
Caught between a Novak and a FedEx.

To his wife: …I think I will keep a fast today.

Advani (aloud): I get up every day thinking that if I was Prime Minister today, then all these scams wouldn’t have taken place!

Sushma (to herself): I get up every day thinking that had you quit gracefully in 2004, I would have led the party to victory in 2009. I fear you will be around in 2014 too.

Manmohan: How does the cleanest PM in the history of India attract the maximum amount of muck? This can’t be happening to me!

Sonia: Ah! Life is so peaceful! Thanks God I turned down the PM’s post in 2004! Now I have all the power and none of the responsibility and headaches!

Rahul: Mera kya hoga re Mamma!

Elsewhere…

First Politician: How come you respect Manmohan so much nowadays? You used to oppose him non-stop when he became PM in 2004?

Second Politician: Then he had absolutely no political experience.

First Politician: So now just 6-7 years in power is enough, eh?

Second Politician: Of course! Look at his portfolio now! 2G, CWG, Adarsh, IPL, black money, votes for cash, WikiLeaks… the list is endless… now he has more political experience than even Jawaharlal Nehru or Indira Gandhi!
