IPL the missing element

People are a little surprised with the success that the IPL is enjoying but I think its finally filling a very big void that has existed in India for a while. The Indian entertainment industry is a very mature one, we've had films for a long long time. Even our small screen entertainment is a well established industry, but for all these choices there wasn't any home grown sports entertainment. The IPL is not just about cricket, its about a show, its about a spectacle , its about entertainment. Finally there is something a 20 something (aren't we all 20 something's at heart) can go to in the evening which doesn't involve staring at a screen or drowning in alcohol to enjoy an overcrowded situation.

I believe there are so many EPL, NBA and F1 fans in India just because it was more than just a sport, it was an event. Think about it even the WWE is big in India.

What makes the IPL truly unique is the size of audience and the fact that it's starting from scratch. Cricket is already the second most popular sport in the world. The IPL if managed correctly could become a globally viewed league and the perfect ambassador for cricket.

For me it's an excuse to watch more cricket and try and get those funky jerseys.

Of job hunting miseries and everlasting hope…

Do you ever feel like you are being followed ? Followers do a good job of maintaing a safe distance and watching your moves. But sometimes, they get ahead of themselves, move really close, and then you can feel the heat of their stare at the back of your head. You know ? No ? Hmm.

Off late I have been feeling like I am being followed by a huge grey rain cloud. My very own water filled stalker. Brimming over and yet still self contained. Pregnant with wonderful possibilities of a brilliant career and life thereafter, but I will never know. This storm cloud doesn't tease. No drizzles. Only down pours.

I wonder when it will be time for the cloud to let go. I suspect it'll be some lazy Thursday afternoon while I am wallowing in self pity. Out of no where the cloud will open up and pour down possibilities and happiness on me.

And then I will walk on, like there wasn't a cloud in the first place.

But until then…I look over my shoulders every now and then.
