IPL to be postponed?
everyone pray that this is not true
let us all join our hands in prayer to the cricket gods
these torrid times need the IPL
I am no one to take guarantee of security in India, but for god sake, the IPL should not suffer
there is too much hope involved, there are no pakistani players involved
the IPL should not be affected, please!
so here is the prayer:
dear almighty, god of cricket
what is this sticky wicket?
do not curse the eye-pee-el
i promise sree-bhajji would kiss and tell
We asked you for money
you gave us plenty
we asked for lots of wins
you gave us god* and the prince*
we demanded a blend of everything awesome
season one was more than welcome
and now all we ask for is an encore
do we deserve this furore?
sachin would be thanked duly well
gilly would continue his farewell
haydos, dada would join in the fun
why do we fear, why be on a run?
we want eye-pee-el
we want eye-pee-el
we want eye-pee-el
we want eye-pee-el
amen
Lest we forget
I am angry. I am frustrated. I wanted to write this for a long time, but could not. I could not get the courage to write about this incident. I hated Set Max for this. I did not come to know about the incident till the mid-innings break when Srinath and Charu were talking about it.
Terrorists attacked the Sri Lanka team bus at Lahore, but you all know about it. I was literally trembling when I heard about the happenings. Without a moments delay, I switched to CNN. Eight policemen were killed, trying to save the Sri Lankan cricketers. I cried for them.
Yes, Sangakkara does not regret touring Pakistan because he is a professional. Yes, Jayasuriya is putting up a brave front and proclaiming that no one is seriously hurt. No NATIONAL HERO is seriously hurt. I felt bad. Not because no one was hurt, I am not a sadist. I was sad because 5 national heroes had already lost their lives. Their families totally regret Sri Lanka touring Pakistan.
These security men deserve to belt riot mobs, not defend against proliferated Kalashnikovs and AKs and hand grenades. Frigging Hand Grenades!
This post is for the men who lost their lives. Yes you cricket fans, I mean it. They may be more important on the cricket field, but every human is equal. Pardon my brashness, but I would like everyone to spare a thought for the real heroes. Thats all.

Feel some of Damith’s pain.
If you’re Indian, chances are, like me, you still have one eye on the ODI in Napier. And the other on the news feeds from Lahore.
Sehwag, Sachin, Raina, Dhoni, they’re all playing today.
Mahela, Kumar, Samaraweera, Mendis, Tharanga, should have been playing too.
It’s a lot tougher if you’re a Sri Lankan. Go share some of Damith's pain.
