Meera is back in the news, and with a bang at that. Last week TV channels buzzed with Meera’s words of wisdom.

According to them, Meera said that she’s not ready for marriage yet (really?) and that tying the nuptial knot is one of the big decisions that a person takes in life. True that. Meera also gave a piece of advice to Pakistani cricketers in the same breath: “Do befriend beautiful Indian girls (hassenaen) when you tour India but concentrate on cricket.”

Well, well, well… the woman has grown into a philosopher of sorts. A book might be on the cards. What do you say, Mr Atiq?
