IPL, BPL and We the ppl.

"GOD said let IPL be...
thus was born LALIT MODI"
I will happily discuss the present state of Bengal with Ricki Ponting.
I dont mind sharing mishti doi with Chris Gayle.
I will readily yell with joy if "their" Umer Gul dismisses "our " very own Sachin.
If you tell me Shahrookh khan is a messiah , I`ll readily believe.
but better be careful :
if you tell me to chant "korbo lorbo jeetbo re " i`ll strangle you.
everything was right about this media revolution ( you call it cricket revolution ,ha ?) except for a few discordant notations ... the most glaring one ofcourse was " korbo lorbo jeetbo re".
a phrase which is a glaring insult to a very important aspect of bong culture ( music+sportmania= sportomusic mania).
bengal has been an excellent producer of sportomusic for years. be it the evergreen "shob khelar shera bangalir tumi football" or the more recent Fossils number - " mon boley footballey pa chhoai". coincidentally , both these songs are married to football... cricket has not always been the bong cup of tea. knight riders however made a rather quick entry to the bong heart. thus their theme music could have turned out to be the official bong chant only if it had a little bit of promise element. i would go to the extent of staying that the song was an omen ... the idiocy it portrayed (you must have seen the video) somehow predicted the dismal knight rider fate in the IPL.... the cliched beliefs about the bong common man punched with medieval elements such as metal armour and pre-historic helmets ... somehow made me wonder , are they actually representing kolkata knight riders or something as simple as kolkata zoo keepers? this cricket team theme song indicates everything other than cricket .... figuratively it translates to " i wanna dew , i wanna screw , i `ll win a few...." . need i say more???
one good thing about the IPL ( there are of course quite a few ) is that it kept people occupied. news papers didn't fall short of stories, tv channels were generating statistics all day long and even the most bogus players of yester- years became temporary experts. country was at peace except for the jaipur bombing .... a clear expression of bangladeshi frustration . next year we should definitely keep more than one bangla player in the squads. employment is a fundamental need in all developing nations.
somehow IPL concept is a sort of oxymoron .... India , boasting an enormous BPL population all of a sudden seemed ready to rule the world . spraying abnormal cash she sucked in willow wackers from all corners of the world . the high nose Aussies, the flamboyant windies and the caustic Kiwis ,all became temporary desis. the rich men geared up to capture mass mentality and feed the million strong starved population doses of entertainment. indeed , the IPL made the BPLs feel that cricket was a solution to their eternal hunger. at the end of the day we the ppl reclined with ease to feel busy and patriotic ....
however , IPL is now over. realities are back with a bang. BPL are once again queuing up to avail their bare necessities from the defalcating authority. the war for Gorkhaland is getting complicated and we the ppl are stunned and dumbed by the aggrandized fuel prices .
