What IPL mean to Indian cricket?


Actually what IPL is doing to Indian cricket in bigger canvas?

1 - Expose the vulnerability of the local players to the foreign players.

2 - Help Chief selector Srikanth to pick few out-of-form players for national side.

3 - Provide the warm up matches along with bags of dollars to the foreign players so they can beat India when it comes to the World Cup T20!

4 - And last not least, make Mr.Lalit Modi few millions richer!


I genuinely can’t find any reason why Yuvraj has not been dropped from national team! His batting sucks, bowling stinks, only fielding has little credibility worth mentioning. Get him as a substitute fielder!

Barbados pitch is like a dancing floor for Indian players, there are dancing black beauties on the side stage in bikini (I think there are more interesting bikini figures in the crowd) and there are dancing Indians on the crease with pads and bat! Still I prefer those girls’ dances.

We should listen to Indian batsmen too before criticizing them, as they enlightened us; we can duck down and avoid the bouncing balls, but man, this is not a test match, we got to hit the ball somehow and somewhere.

I understand dude, but somewhere you are hitting should not be exactly to the fielders! I guess you guys appreciate my point.

IPL trophy goes to Chennai this time, there is a team called Cochin from the next edition, before it could set the feet Cochin had made huge impact in the IPL system and it’s functioning. Lalit Modi is out, Shasi Tharoor is out and his girl friend also out. Got in is Cochin team. Let’s wait and see!

IPL3 over view


Why Mumbai Indians are potential winner of 3rd IPL?
They are the most balanced team in IPL this year with fearsome bowling department. Slinga Linga and Zaheer Abusing Khan are double edged sword in their armory. In spinning department they have the slapping expert Bhaji puri! You may ask, then how did they lose in last two editions of IPL. Well the answer is their super star batsman wasn’t in real form in last two editions; now he is. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. He is the difference between Mumbai Indians and other teams.

A captain who plays with his heart and soul is none other than Rajasthan Royal’s Shane Warne. He sweats, he sledge, he spit and he grunt. But ultimately he wants to win the game at any cost. In fact this is how every captain should be isn’t it? In this third edition Rajasthan Royals is the only team which crossed 200 twice with being all out for less than 100 runs. Their star batsman Yousuf Pathan scored stunning 37 balls century in first match and scored duck in his next one. With Watson back in the side Rajasthan Royals became stronger. But I guess it is too late for them to beef up the side. As I type this article RR lost to Mumbai Indians where Mumbai Indians enter to semi final first time ever in IPL. RR has a slight chance to enter into first four only if they win their remaining matches.

Delhi Dare Devil Captain Gauti thinks RR is pretty ordinary team. He didn’t hide his feelings either; called RR an ordinary team on air and drew Mr.Modi’s ire! Mr. Chairman and Commissioner demanded Ghabir be charged with a Level 1 offence! It is no secret that RR is Modi’s favorite team.

What next? There is shocking news that Lalit Modi is planning to have two kind of IPL; IPL in India and IPL overseas. Last year’s surprise success in South Africa made him to think to have two IPLs! Ladies and gentlemen, if you are not aware of it till now, Mr.Modi is forming a parallel cricket world that will run throughout the year!

I must admit that their marketing guys are awesome! Look how they brought young crowed in to the cricket stadium last year in South Africa via beauty contest! Self proclaimed beauties rushed to the galleries followed by hundreds of young chaps trying to get their attention. End of the day the stadium is full. Who would have even thought about having a beauty contest between a cricket match? Big applaud! You guys rocks!

This year there is strategic time out, in fact it is the time for more Advertisements. Money flows through every crack and holes. Each wicket falls, each over; there are Ads, so much so we even misses one or two balls after the Ads done with their never ending assault. Now; in between the balls they show us two top class Indian batsmen fighting for a mobile phone on big screen, “yeh mera hai, na mera hai… ha ha ha” excuse me, why can’t they buy two mobile phones and solve the issue? The whole cricket screen may shrink into half while you are watching your favorite player hitting a six. Half screen static ads and half screen cricket. I could imagine what will be the next. On the corner of the TV in a 10 cm box will be game cricket and rest will be the ads! Bravo!

For most of the players IPL seasons are carnival, foreigners as well as local players, they just wait for the season, lots of money, fame, liquor and chicks. Harbhajan Singh bought a HUMMER H3 vehicle, Poor Bhaji supposed to buy it on first edition of IPL, because of that stupid Sree Santh who stuck his face when Bhaji was waving his hand, lost opportunity and lots of money. He bought it in second edition so did MS Dhoni.

It is good for a number of aspiring regional players too; IPL brought them some light of hope and fame into their career. Or else all those Saha, Tyagi, Jakati, Sodi and many will not be playing in big stage like IPL, let alone for the national team. A player never been heard about before IPL was Ravindra Jadeja, instant success of the game gone into his head and decided to put his own price tag for himself and paid the price! Yes we are witnessing everything in IPL!

The owners of Chennai Super Kings didn’t bid for their own son Dinesh Karthik. MS Dhoni being a wicket keeper they didn’t see any slot for Karthik in the team. Now the rumors are Mr.SriKanth and company is lamenting big time for not taking Karthik in the team, as they think he is still good enough as a standalone batsman. Chennai Super Kings owners had personal and emotional value over Sri Lankan spin wizard Muthayya Muralidaran, because Murali is their “Sala”! Some Chennai officials are asking the owners “is Sala most important for you than your own son?”

If there is an award for patience I think it should go to commentator Harsha Bhogle’s wife. Man, this guy never stop talking, he talks whatever comes in his mind without a filtering process. Other day at the presentation party he said KKR’s winning captain Ganguly’s picture will come in next day’s news paper, another occasion he was asking his fellow commentator why Kevin Paterson is drying his sweat wet shirt, and I wonder what he will be doing in the bedroom with his wife. No act and a lot of talk! It will not help you Mr.Bhogle, I think you should have fixed your tongue rather than fixing your hair.

Ravi Shastri, another commentator with “tracer bullet” expression always talks about records. Yousuf Pathan scored second century in IPL history; Praveen Kumar became second bowler to get Hat-Trick wickets in IPL history; what the fuck, what is he mean by IPL history? Dude, IPL is only 3 years old. Consequently almost everything should be registered as history then! Hopeless case!
Commentators can be funny at a time and stupid most of the time! Look at this one for fun;
“Warner just hit a six, if he hit another six; it helps his team to add 12 runs.” My god, what a mathematician he is. Are you the brother of “a beautiful Mind” fame John Nash by any chance?

That’s all folks for now.
Adios!

IPL 3 – The fun just began now!


I know I didn’t post an article here for a long time, let me tell you I wasn’t even given a thought to abandon this blog as most of you guys anticipated. I was busy writing for some entertainment websites and publications where I restricted like a clipped bird! Now I am back to the zone where there is neither teacher’s baton nor red signal lights.

IPL Edition 3 took more time than the previous two editions to take off among the crowd. One thing that sticks like glue throughout IPL was controversies; it simply refuses to stay away from this year’s IPL too.

Why Mr.Lalit Modi has to show the door to one of the BCCI selectors Narendara Hirwani?

The incident occurred on March 25, a day before the selectors were to pick the squad for the T20 World Championship, when the Mumbai Indians were playing their home game against Chennai Super Kings.

Insulted by the incident, Hirwani informed chairman Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who in turn took up the issue with BCCI secretary N Srinivasan. Hirwani, along with Surendra Bhave (West Zone) and Raja Venkat (East), have boycotted the event since then. But Srikkanth, who happens to be the brand ambassador of Chennai Super Kings has been seen at matches. The North Zone selector, Yashpal Sharma, happens to be a match referee for IPL.

Modi tried to downplay the incident. “It was a misunderstanding concerning accreditation. Hirwani didn’t have the ticket for the seat he was occupying,” he said.

With the BCCI assuring that it would order a probe into the incident, the selectors aren’t willing to come on record.

Wait a minute, what was the reply from Modi? Ticket?

If I am Modi I won’t even ask for ticket to a BCCI selector, oops! And that is what this guy is doing all over the gallery asking people to show up the tickets. No wonder why he is in the camera all the time!

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a selector said: “We were not there to see the cheerleaders. We had a World Cup team to pick the next day. The selectors have the best seats in town, but in the IPL other people are important. I am staying away from the game since Mr Modi insulted one of us.”

A genuine doubt arises here as this selector indicating most of them comes to watch the game is not actually interested to watch the game but cheerleaders. His second allegation if you put it in right (wrong) words will be somewhat this way “ every tom dick and harry has their own seats, SRK, Niranjan Shah, Shilpa Shetty, Prety Zinda what more; even Lalit Modi has his own VIP seat, why the fuck we don’t have one? We are not even requesting an air conditioned cabin like how most of these assholes are demanding”

He is right uh?

But the BCCI chief administrative officer, Ratnakar Shetty, claimed that the selectors are staying away because they want some rest. “The T20 team has already been announced, so they have decided to cover only the semis and final,” he said.
What a hard work it is to come to the stadium to watch cricket and have some snacks and cokes. It is even difficult to watch all those cheerleaders dancing those awkward dance steps. So they are taking rest. Who will let Mr.Ratnakar Shetty know that those thousands of people coming to watch cricket is just to take rest from their long day work and enjoy the game with popcorn and beer? Our rest is their work; I wonder what will be their real rest then?!!

The news roaming in town; Jaipur is planning to ban cheerleaders and beer bottles in the IPL venues. According to them those skinny dressed ladies are too obscene for the community! I think more than those ladies it is the camera man who should be banned, look where he is going with his stupid naughty camera! I don’t think except those 5% of the crowd who is sitting near the cheerleader’s podiums are even seen any of the girls face. (I know they are more interested in something else rather than the face) So who should be blamed here? None other than cameramen; isn’t it? Poor cheerleaders are busy practicing their dance steps in hotel rooms completely unaware of what was happening in outer world. By the way what the hell were they practicing, we all know what the dance steps they were referring to, one girl will be shaking those furs as if she got hysterics and another one will be giving the flying kisses to the camera man (mmmm, now we know why he love these cheer girls) the third one will be in absolute dilemma to shake her right leg or left leg, boobs or bums! Here we can see the lack of practice though.

Kings XII Punjab lost almost all of the games this time around, they tried everything possible to bring that winning momentum and broaden the smile and dimple of their lovely team owner Preity Zinta, they played Sree Santh in their team and then didn’t play Sree Santh for few matches; all these sort of experiments but unfortunately nothing seems to be working in their favor. There is only one guy who seems to be laughing in their dugout, Yuvraj! He has been sacked from the captaincy of Kings XII this year, he had a point to prove, boy, and didn’t he prove it in solid way? Except that Super Over match against Chennai Super Kings he always hit the cricket ball solidly to make sure to find some fielder under it! Earlier he had a fight with captain Sangakkara in the dressing room, Sangakkara was questioning Yuvraj’s careless shot selection where the short tempered left hander got furious over the issue, he shouted at everyone who questioned his integrity that he has been playing these kinds of shots throughout his career and he will be doing the same in the future! Sri Lankan player Sangakkara apparently failed to understand anything that came out from Yuvi’s mouth in tremendous pace and rush.

The latest is “Kings XII Punjab is for sale!” The co owners complaining about the loss they suffered during 3 IPL editions, now we beginning to hear some bad news from IPL fraternity. Underneath all those shining polish, glitters, fire crackers, bitches and cars there are some casualties!

To add the agony; the team is for sale for half the price!

No takers! Nobody wants Kings XII Punjab! Just bear in mind some idiots bought two more brand new teams for next year’s IPL, Kerala and Pune for millions of dollars! Still there are no takers for Preity’s team not even for half of the price! Isn’t it shocking?

We will hear more about it in coming days.

Lalit Modi instructed the camera man to capture him on the camera not less than ten times in each game, the obedient camera men are doing exactly same what they have been instructed to, capturing different activities of Mr.Lalit Modi, such as picking up the nose, scratching the balls, try to peep into cheerleader’s cleavage, operating two mobile phones at one time, chatting with celebrities etc.

More IPL snippets to come your way…
Till then, Adios!

Stunning Similarities – The mystifying history!


Incident which takes in our everyday life is not mere accidents! From the smallest one to the biggest, buying underwear to owning a car, your job, life partner, graduation, salary what more, even your name is not an accident!

Creepy uh? Let me explain, bear with me, I am not preaching philosophy or anything that sort, these are the truth and only truth!

I pulled up this topic to my best friend couple of years back, though she looked extremely interested, she didn’t understand completely or pretended to be puzzled. When I talked about latest buzz on the subject of Maria Carrey’s lingeries and make ups she dramatically awaken in a flash and never gave me a chance to talk again till I said goodnight!

Do you remember your first road accident? You have taken the straight road and suddenly thought about to buying a pizza, visit a friend or go to a particular shop; you have taken right turn in hurry to hear that bone crunching crash behind the car! This is just an example, the situation and thoughts will be different but the result will be the same. You came out of the car unhurt and found your car been hit and crushed by the vehicle rammed in, or in rare situations found your car with little damage and big dent on the vehicle that hit you!

Trust me, these accidents are not accidents! You meant to be on that road at that particular hour and second and it happened because it is the choice given to you! And let me tell you this creepy truth, it happened to someone before you and will happen again to someone who resembles your birth and brought-up situations!!!

I know you can’t take completely what I am saying.

God, Universe or the super power which almost all of us believe in is very fair to everybody. There are armies and kings, police and criminals, artists and politicians. These are the categories in human. They meant to do their part in professional and daily life. How they function is up to the choices given to them. I will make it more clear and comprehensible.

A king or a president will be gifted with growing up situations, opportunities, right and wrong, good and bad. If he takes the right path he may succeed as a great leader, or if he chose wrong path somewhere in the middle he may end up with a noose on the neck!

Now let us look at some history –

We know about them and their life because they are famous and every moment of their life has been written on the bricks of history walls. It is continuously happening with me and you but we never knew our life and opportunities given are happened before to someone and it is a repetition, fortunately or unfortunately it will happen again to someone who still has to be born somewhere in the world! Everything that happened to you going to repeat one more time to somebody as it happened to someone before you! Still you can change the destiny by choosing the right path. For example that road accident – if you think you will order pizza at home you may avoid an accident!

Saddam the modern-day equivalent of the ancient King Nebuchadnezzar

The Iraqi leader is cast as the modern-day equivalent of King Nebuchadnezzar, the warrior and builder who came to power in 605 BC at the tender age of 25.

Hussein, who helped stage a coup at age 31, restored part of Nebuchadnezzar's 600-room palace.

Atop some of the original bricks marked with Nebuchadnezzar's name are new bricks that declare, "In the era of Saddam Hussein, protector of Iraq, who rebuilt the Royal Palace."

A palace tour guide said, "Nebuchadnezzar was a man of war and peace, just as Saddam Hussein is. That's why people love him."

The rise and death of Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein’s life is replica of the ancient Babylon (Babylon was a city-state of ancient Mesopotamia, the remains of which are found in present-day Al Hillah, Babil Province, Iraq, about 85 kilometers (55 mi) south of Baghdad) emperor Nebuchadnezzar. Saddam’s hunger for war, cruelty towards his own people and death in a spider hole is just identical to the ancient emperor of Babylon!!

Nebuchadnezzar once most powerful emperor in the world ate leaves and drunken water from the river towards the end of his life, quite similar to Saddam Hussein! Look at the picture of Nebuchadnezzar by William Blake. Isn’t it similar to the one we saw in television sets few years back?

The name SADDAM means "the destroyer." That fact was specifically offered by an elderly midwife who delivered SADDAM Hussein, and recalled that Saddam's mother named him "destroyer" because she had such a difficult time delivering him. Saddam became real destroyer lately by killing about 2.5 million people!

To cement my theory let me show you some fearsome facts that going to pass some current through your spine.

Striking similarities between former American Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John.F Kennedy.


Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born
in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford'.
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford'.

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe!

I have a lot more to say about the resemblances of these famous leaders and other historical figures – just because I cannot measure the interest level and enthusiasm of the readers on this topic, heatedly stopping it here for now. Adios!
