I read a shocker yesterday night…
A once respected web awards (PC World Web awards) has chosen hdfcrealty.com as the best real estate website, and has said that indianpillars.com was # 2.

just talking about the woeful indian team performance today…76 all out? a team filled to the brim with superrich superstars who had the tenacity to get bowled out in 20 overs??
a triple century in 1 match, and u start getting compared to the best ever batsmen produced by india. u surpass 10000 runs and u get the media talking about u being the world's best batsman ever? what then happens to you in the next match? do u realize that cricket is the only passion that india has? do u realize that u r the only heroes india has..for the simple reason that ur game has the most money which attracts millions with starry eyes towards you…but all u care about really is how much a reebok is willing to give u….the success goes so easily to ur head that u can reach the heights in 1 game, and come falling down the next.

yeah IPL is what i meant…its getting to be quite a pain is it?
the spot rates have shot thru the roof, and it remains more of an unknown devil right now…
 
can one really watch that much cricket??
would i care 6 days into the tournament who is winning, who is losing, who scored how many runs in each match, who i support, my zone or my fav players?
do i stop watching everything else, and just watch cricket?
do i have that much patience?
do i want to start hating cricket by the time the tournament is over?
do i care how much srk or akshay or preity do a thumka and try to entertain me, just so they can fill their existing swollen coffers even more?
does cricket really deserve the status of a religion?
is cricket the only sport in india which can be enjoyed on tv?
are we becoming a country devoid of heroes, hence creating heroes from cricket and bollywood primarily?
or creating heroes from something as crappy as a khali?
 
what am i muttering? guess the ‘heroes’ thingie will have to wait for another post…i can write acres on that topic….
 
right now, the question i really want to ask is….
 
is IPL the end of cricket, the way we know it. love it?

got a real shocker last week, when i came across the amul macho men’s undies. It was perhaps the raunchiest commercial i had seen on prime time, and was left wondering what happened to ogilvy’s advice to admen: do not make it if you do not want your family to watch it….
