IPL season 2 just started today and it feels great that we have some better source of entertainment apart from the stupid election bakwaas thats going on. i had the opportunity to talk with some slum people regarding the election thingy, too and the results are that people would remain fools while the politicians would remain 'gundas'/corrupt. while the male votes would still be sold in the name of liquor/other emoluments, the females are a subdued class and they will continue to vote to their husband's likings .. ...
coming back to IPL, it seems like a liquor haven too! apart from DLF sponsoring the league, everywhere u'll find different brands of the same company (UB) and apart from owning a team, vijay mallya has cleverly imprinted his brand on every person getting TV footage, from the cheergirls to the players to the commentators to even the umpires ! call that as advertising ......
another thing that deserves mention is that old is gold and this old saying will continue to remain true. rahul dravid is lovely and any criticism is just bad for the guy .... his elegance deserves a special mention and so does tendulkar. their greatness is and will remain supreme. one thing about dravid is his sheer strokeplay (and sometimes predetermined game, which lands him in trouble). and warne and kumble !!! how can someone talk about them ?? both have retired yes.. both are soo different in their approaches but both are equally successful. while warne can control the amount of leg-spin going in a delivery, kumble bowls to the limitations the batsman has. and some critics say indians fire only on indian grounds-that seems false, too. with tendulkar, dravid and kumble being in the limelight today and KP, flintoff, smith etc all bungling up, its obvious that indian cricket is and will be a treat to watch ....
