IPL...!!

hey ppl... the devil is back after a long hiatus of time..!!
i was racking my brains to come up with a topic when suddenly our little wonder of IBS miss priyanka bajaj suggested this topic..!!
though let me confess, iam not a avid follower/fan of cricket..! u can coin me as a layman in terms of cricket..!! however, this is my humble effort to write abt this HUGE FORMAT called the Indian Premier League..!

Kudos to Mr. lalit modi, the brains behind this indian format to come up with a business model which combines glamour,cricket,business and entertainment!!
the moolah raked by the Cricket Authorities in form of franchisees payments, viewer rights, advertisements etc is unimaginable..!!
its sort of a win win situation to all..! stars get more popularity, Max gets more Eyeballs ( as in viewership), new cricketers bein encouraged, indian ppl get their fill of cricket ( considering it as an indian Religion of sorts), voyeurs get their fill by seeing the cheeerleaders and so on..!!
sone pe suhaaga will be for the cricketers who get hefty pay packages..
wht i dnt understand is, wht do the cricketers feel when they are pitted against their own country team mates!?
wht an irony of life, the home team is divided and pitted whereas it is serving as a global interactin platform..!!
phew..no wonder it is complicated for me..! hehhehe..
however.. i personally support many teams..yah i know its weird but kya karen !!
i love Rajasthan Royals for their superb team spirit and abilities..
Kolkata Knight Riders, only and only for my cutie SRK!!
Royal challengers since they are my karmabhoomi team... bengaluru rocks..
SUper Kings because iam crazy abt Muttiah and Dhoni..

IPl bein held in south africa doesnt make much sense! the tickets for the match would have been sold out housefull in india!! tumba loss of revenue there.!!
to conclude.. i like watching it in company of frds with the yelling and shouting and the betting..!! anywyas this also seems a better bet than watching movies in multiplex since no movies are released :(..!!
tc... play safe !!
