For sports lovers like me IPL-2 being played in South Africa is a great boon. One whole month of cricket. And not just any cricket. You get to watch the top players in the world exhibit their game. It’s like a big stage with live performances by Gilchrist, Vettori, Malinga, Warne and you can feast your eyes as much as you want. But frankly I’m not able to show allegiance or feel passionate about any of the teams. In fact their names still do not inspire any sense of belonging or die-hard fan following. Perhaps it is early days yet? Besides, moving out of India has been a big dampener. I mean how can you feel like cheering for Delhi Daredevils in Cape town? Nothing Delhi-ish about it…Maybe if they took some pix of our slums and free for all urinals...!
I like Mandira Bedi’s new hairstyle but I’m already sick of the film stars. Who wants to watch Preeti and Shilpa for God’s sake? If people wanted to watch movie stars they would go to a movie. If the cricket is good fans would watch anyway, you don’t need sops like these. When will these dumbos understand!
