Indian Perennial League

How will you feel if you are given two kilo of delicious sweet and asked to finish it in a day?And how will you feel if you are to repeat that routine for forty four days? Just the thought of it makes me puke. That's exactly how I am feeling about IPL. There are so many matches, that people would not even notice if David Warner plays for Delhi one day and Chennai next .Unless if there is Ravi Shastri, whose voice will be resounding in your ears long into the night about Modi(Lalit), DLF maximum and Citi Moments. Talking about moments,there is one moment which I keenly wait for everyday. The players of winning sides hugging the gorgeous leading ladies/ambassadors of the respective franchises. Wonder what makes some young Indian domestic players look so happy.Winning the match or..?

There is a freakish skepticism that Lalit Modis business acumen is getting blunted. There are so many things left unbranded in IPL3. The above hugging incident will make a Jaadu Ki Jhappi "Connecting People" moment. Is their no Band-Aid company in India or elsewhere who will sponsor for the umpires raised finger when giving a batsmen out? The Cadbury sponsored cricket ball will make a nice bite and we could see many more Afridis in coming years. Come on Mr.Modi,you cannot let go so many business opportunities.

And,Indias greatest (!!!) tennis player Sania Mirza is getting married to Shoaib Malik. Being a sports person Sanias achievement is that, she will always be in news for non sporting reasons. Our media houses are already branding it a marriage of the year. What happens if the marriage plans does not go through? Pakistan will cry foul and scream conspiracy . And as usual they will ask for US intervention. Along with Kashmir, there will be one more contentious issue in Indo-Pak talks-Sania.
