Lalit is making money, or is it some politician or is it some money bag with a shady background converting his black to white or white to black. Who cares, I am absolutely sure none of the 50000 guys who were in the stadium or few 1000s who were in various cinema halls watching the match or countless millions glued to TV munching bajias and kurkure in the comfort of their home.

We have heard and seen the frenzy of soccer, American football or baseball and NBA in Europe and US.

I am just thinking about what is in store for us in India . Just to think, 600 plus millions, following a sport with passion that is unmatched for involvement or for sheer number. They are consumers too. Suddenly, US of A and Europe look downsized compared to India in the business of Sports. China do not count. They may have some guys winning in gymnast or badminton or TT.. But to drive the entire nation with a sport, MR. Modi has done it.

My customers in the business of printing Plastic cards got IPL business, my cousin running a leading retail chain is all smiles and informs me about fantastic footfall in the mall. Printers all over India are running 3 shifts.. Ad and creative agencies, signage companies are recruiting people left, right to keep up with the sudden surge in demand.

Okay, there are corrupt people around, they just don’t matter now. Ancillary industries like above are doing business which is 100 times more than all these franchisees put together. In my business I do involve touts at times, teek hai na,,, there are some politicians in this business of IPL too.
Forget all charges against Modi.. Just handover COMMONWEALTH GAME management to him and see what he can do for us. If he is making some 100 Million dollar in the process, so be it..

What we can do without amidst the entire melee is when a player of Tendulkar’s stature not coming clean when he took the catch of Dravid which he would know for sure that it bounced off the ground. Come to think of it, these two icons have fought together many a battle standing up to each other.. Sorry, Mr. Tendulkar, maybe I am from old school of thoughts, this is just not done.
