Wat a beauty!

So the much speculated first season of IPL has finally ended and the meteoric rise of adrenaline each evening... yeah that's an overstatement... is not gonna thr ny more. But I was in for a shock in the final ceremony. I never really gave attention to wat the winner's trophy looks like. Finally when Arun Lal said "2000 sumthin diamonds weighing 70 sumthin carats, 4000 sth sapphires weighing 1000 sth carats"... nd so on. The PR prose clearly didnt make the IPL trophy prettier... wat they r gonna to do nxt.. put jewellery on Abhishek Bachchan nd call him beautiful. (m gonna be on Big B's blog nxt he he) The trophy looked like ..... The hideous entity has a cardboard-cut-out-type of map of India with letters 'IPL' cut and pasted by someone whose idea of award winning design is a dhaba sign on way to Bhatinda. (sorry to secular sensivities ;) Jutting out in front is a figure of a swishing batsmen ... who cannt be judged whether he is a left or right hander. I am told he is a replica of Sunil Manohar Gavaskar. And to cap this monstrosity, thr's a black gatta kind of background with chief sponsor's logo displayed prominently. Even the Godfather of bling, Bappi Lahiri wud quitely tuck this away in his bathroom commode. If Lalit Modi wants it, I can give my kabbadi champion's plaque for the nxt year's tournament but kindly from this kind of faux pas in future

Well IPL can certainly confuse you as to where your loyalties are... today I was jeering at Tendulkar!!! ... me jeering at Tendulkar, quite unimaginable in my wildest dreams... but Delhi won the match ... yay*

There is no stopping the wind, but who said don't try;
We can hide under the umbrella, and ride these clouds to fly!
These drops on my windowpane, and night at noon;
I guess the clouds are marching and will be here soon.

It's 1:28 am right now and there is a slight drizzle outside... maybe I should go out and have a run having missed it in the evening... ok I think I will :-)
