FIP upgrades IPL v2.0 from Fried Rice to Biryani

Finally , here , comes the most awaited moment of this year IPL . No friends, I am not at all talking about the semifinalists berths ... but , the FIP face lift. The one that has taken the IPL popularity to the new heights - atleast for software juntas who want all the masala right in front of their screen . As the bollywood directors add item songs to add the much-needed flavour to otherwise dull hindi cinemas , same credit goes to FIP to add the much needed spicey touch to the IPL , after the Indians were shocked to hear the news of IPL moving out of India to South Africa .
Everybody praises Lalit Modi for adding the Kurkere twist to the cricket with the IPL and Sony enterainmemt television to revive the fortunes of Mandira Bedi --- one of the worst anchors I have ever seen - more disgusting than hopeless Arun Lal. There can be some private close intimacy shared by them . But , this fake ipl player has really added another dimension to the cricket . Cricket in India has always tried to carve its apth ahead of Bollywood , the blind followers are more eager to know the off-field life of their stars. We had a few stories like of Sourav-Nagma, Azhar-Sangeeta affairs ,but, all these news came involving the long -term affairs. We were really sorry to miss these ONE-NIGHT stand affairs. Now, we are truely going gloabal .
Even when the IPL started last season , cricketers were unable to gain the off-field limelight from the Bubbly and King Khan . These bollywood veterans were stilling ruling the days top stories charts. We had the full entertainment on the field but the night-stories , party's spill overs and inside-gossips were missing. Although , our news channels and journalists tried to add some pinches of salt , but , the real "Entertainment ka Baap" comes from FIP. He will always be remembered to give the most sought after in-depth details of players differences , their bubbly-dubbly life full of bear and girls .
Hats-off FIP for getting such a wonderful titles for the players . Appam Chutiya has really been a revolution in cricket circle. Even bevdaas, dhakkan and all were quite awesome.I always wondered about the Kishan Kanhaiya -- looking at his dashing personality and over-excellent communication. But, dude , you had made this IPL , one of the driest events for him . I really dont care who are you , as I liked the stories - even , if they have been cooked up. I really feel it takes a good amount of imagiantion and knowlege of cricket inner circles . Your ability to bind the audience is awesome . To make thousand -odd readers wait for your next post is not every body's cup of tea and perhaps , even seasonal bloggers like Amitabh and Shobha De cant do it perhaps. Your writing style was inspiring for young bloggers like me , I cant challenge your point that you missed your IIM interview to see India-Australia match at Kotla. The way you have signed off has been quite good - saving your best for the perhaps the fututer tournaments .
Whatever , be your fate --- but you have set the path ahead for a few of the people to blog the daily cricket diary. Hope for a greater amount of masala and fun in the future tournaments .

Indian Cricket Team in my office - Part 1

One day , I stumbled upon the idea - if the Indian cricket team is brought into my office and each one assigned a role based on their merits -- better to say , attitude . How is the place around you gonna look like ?

I really feel a lot satisfied in curbing the freedom of these freebies and putting them in the fort -- is it digital fortress -- called 'cubicle'.

So , here comes the Little Master --- Just for the sake of his passion, commitment, love, knowledge and perfection of the game , he can be the Chief Architect -- responsible for meeting the 'Number of Patents ' published deadline. He has been quite innovative in the last few years -- taking the cricket book orthodox shots to the ultimate perfection and inovating a few shots - paddle sweep, scoop hockey shot .

The next comes ' Maharaja ' aka Dada ... he will be more than happy to be here -- enjoying the flexi-timings to the fullest . Coming to office - post-lunch and then , going back before 6 -- managing to survive on the older reputation. His laziness in the field will be stretched to the office work. Work from home -- is the first thing he demands from any company he works for.

Here , goes "The Wall" -- or the " Veteran of the team" . Infact , amidst the new stars, he has lost his shine, but, he is one who is to be consulted when any issue goes above others head. Technically flawless and mentally stable -- you can rely on him , even in the worst of the situations.

Yuvraj ' Flamboyant' Singh ..... you will find him more .. with the girls in the cafeteria ... than on his desk . Most of the bachelors -- are quite jealous of him for this . He has been ruling the charts for quite some time.

Mahendra 'Cool' Dhoni --- Patiently scanning his rappo with his team mates and on-going recession --- the higher authorities comprising of Sharad ' Fat' Power and Lalit ' Money ' Modi have decided to make him ' Firing Manager' and part time responsibility of 'Admin'. He has been picked as the one who will deliver the news of firing to the affected person .. Management is quite confident , that , he can give a part of coolness and calmness to those poor fellows . Another , plus point is his physical fitness which can do him a lot of good in controlling guys like Appam -- oops Srisanth - when they go wild.

Zaheer - called Zak --- will take care of cafeteria and food manager -- heared -- he owns a a resturant in Pune called ZK. I hope , he will get some chefs from his place -- so that we can have some eatable food at the office . And , his pace will help to cater to the needs of the people who stand in the queue for so long -- that their hunger ceases to exist.

Rest of the players ... in the next one .... watch out for more masala ...
