Its IPL time again…
The Glam, Glitz, Gossip, Actors and their
nakhras, after parties, scams, fashion shows and Oh yes!! I totally forgot the
Cricket.
Don’t blame me; it is quite easy to forget
that the IPL is about Cricket! Look
around..
Salman is at the opening ceremony so
Shahrukh may not come… Kareena sizzles to Pyar ki pungi, Priyanka grabs
eyeballs, and Amitabh reads poetry. Models walk the ramp and parties get wild..
This surely sounds like a Filmfare or an
IIFA to me
Katy Perry from the US was the biggest
attraction.. That could have been the Grammys!!Oh for God’s sake!! What does the US know about Cricket...?
Couldn’t we find a star that actually knew what the game was all about?
70+ matches seriously? More like a film
festival I must say...
The IPL, I feel has become embarrassing to
like for serious cricket fans. This kind of instant gratification doesn’t go
too well with them. There is too much non-sport going on. Shiny purple
uniforms, thankfully the tuskers aren’t playing this time... Did you see their
uniforms the last time? Getting back to the topic, Shiny uniforms, playing to
the background score of Bollywood songs and Yes, those cheerleaders who have no
idea what’s going on, True blue Cricket fans like my uncles and cousins try as
hard as they may at some point get irritated at this spectacle. They like their
gentlemen’s game as they curl up against their TV talking averages and
techniques.
The IPL is more cricket training or to test
waters whether you will go on to like the game well enough to endure larger
series or just to end up as lip service Cricket fan!!
All aside, surely is a real boon to the
many young aspirants, who work real hard for their day on the pitch.. A lot of
young talent is nurtured and given a chance to shine.. Maybe, that’s something
we need to thank the IPL for…
Well, whatever the reason, Sure is a lot of
drama and a lot of fun!! And that’s something we in India
can never stay away from for too long!!
