IPL Season Two – Cheerleaders

One of the best things to come out of IPL  much to the chagrin of the purists of the game and moral police brigade of India was the concept of cheerleading. Cricket has changed a lot from the gentleman’s game it was. Well, it didn't take long for us to embrace T20 format it is far too entertaining and exciting compared to the dull Test Matches. Tests are good when teams are equally matched and competitive and are played on a sporting pitches not tailor made to suit the home team . I see cheerleaders in cricket as a natural extension of the ever increasing influence of western culture in our lives. Is it Good or Bad. Definitely Good. Which guy would not like good looking females wearing costumes designed to show off their well endowed assets? For some it is a big distraction from the cricket. It is takes away the charm of good ol cricket. They argue cricket doesn't need sex  to sell. But they are missing the point. Cheerleaders make sixes hit by your favorite batsmen more special more exciting with their well choreographed moves. They inflate  your hope of your team winning when a crucial wicket falls when your team is in a bad position. Its hard to find fault unless you count showing more skin a sin.

Unfortunately, commercialization of the sport has its own contradictions. It is difficult to find a decent pics of cheerleaders in the net. Why? Rights of their pics have been sold already to someone. You want a print shell out $4.99 or more. Damn, even the fakeiplplayer has quit to write a book or two. To make money. He wants to expose the underbelly of  Cricket. Its just a game damn it.  I wished he could have stayed as FIP continued his very funny and popular blog.

Among the various cheerleaders, I loved the Mumbai Indian cheerleaders outfit. The blue outfit is uber cool.

Today Deccan Chargers(DC) play Delhi Daredevils (DD) in semis. DD are clear favorites but dil hai DC despite their agony inducing ability to self destruct just when they look like winning.

The Losers Club - Indian Elections 2009

The people of India have given their verdict, “Budiya” Congress and their Ulta Pulta Alliance (UPA) have the mandate to “govern” (screw) our Country for another 5 loooooong years. And they have sufficient strength to do so (pun intended), as if the last five years were not enough. Ours is a truly hungry and needy Nation. But that is not the worst thing that could have happened. The nightmare of every discerning, well meaning Indians especially that of the greedy corporate houses and blood sucking stock brokers was the delusion of “Third Front” ( also known as power addicts rehabilitation center) of the pigheaded but secular but godless communists.

This affords us to take a look (dig) at the big losers:

1. Loh Purush – Advani

advani

Fondly called as the second sardar vallabhai patel (the great man is turning in his grave right now) by his followers, Advani lived upto his name “PM in waiting”. His party happily assisted by projecting the third sardar vallabhai patel ( the great man just died again for the second time) aka Indian Nero just at the right time. Back to the familiar post of warming the opposition benches like he did for decades, Only this time as the weakest opposition leader with no future. Except watching movies of course.

2. Lady Ozymandias - Mayawati

Her narcissistic fetishes for “bronze statues” and “dholpur” pink stone is well know. After fighting assembly elections on the issue of goonda raj she did a volte face and became their doting “Raakhi Bhen”. Well not forgetting her love of throwing lavish birthday parties so big it could end up taking people’s lives out of sheer extravagance. Contesting all the 543 seats of Lok Sabha, she was already planning for her masterpiece statue to be installed in the PMO. Now she is on frenzied sacking spree. Only her sculptors in UP are safe now!!

3. Indian Nero Narendra Modi

modi

No incumbent Chief Minister has ever (hopefully will never again) received such glowing tributes from the Apex Court of our Country for his human rights record. After smartly changing his tune to a different song called developement, he plunged into the national elections arena. He took the elections debates to different plane altogether with his budiya-gudiya statements and even disturbed the deep slumber of the sleeping beauty “Deve Gowda”, when he famously asked who is the father and mother of Third Front? so much for his oratory skills. When some anarchic voices within his party projected him as “PM in Waiting”, he began to salivate at the prospects of a bigger playground to continue his hate experiments. Smiling he left for Delhi before the counting began. Alas! voters flattered to deceive. Before he knew what hit him, he slipped away without a whimper back to his fiefdom with tail firmly between his legs.

4. Big Brother- Prakash Karat

prakash karat If he had known that US will be converting to Socialism from Capitalism, Comrade Karat would not have vehemently opposed the “nuclear deal” as if it was a “big deal”. Right… No wrong! According to Karat, any body who hurts his ego is an imperialist, blood sucking Capitalist. Business men are Comrades and farmers are imperialists. Denying car manufacturing company fertile land is oppression of the proletariat. If Karl Marx was dreaming of perfect socialistic society was utopian, the non congress, non bjp government was nothing but a delusion!!

5. Sugarcane warlord -Sharad Pawar

Sharad-PawarIf Ricky Ponting shoving him off the presentation stage was not enough, the voters have now shoved his PM aspirations, for the time being atleast. His flirtations with third front and the bjd gave birth to a new innovation in campaigning for elections. “Addressing rallies through Cell Phone” Now one wonders if he was in the wrong ministry all this time!!!

6. Amma - Jayalalitha

jayalalitha

Amma had never got so many feelers since her celluloid days. Rising Gold prices, recession coupled with being out of power made her fall out of love with diamond jewelry and saris. This vacuum was filled by LTTE. Expected to sweep the elections and making her a sure shot king maker, vijaykant proved to be a party spoiler. Feelers have dried up quickly.

They may be losers. However, there is but one Golden Rule in politics. “Never make the mistake of writing off any one. Never”. But that is for the dirty politicians. For us the golden rule is “There will be losers always. Always.” Come another five years, who knows may be even less, election will be held again, there will be losers this time it might be the turn of Italian czarinas, bespectacled darlings and Pappu PM. We shall be waiting. We shall be watching……
