HOW MUCH IS MORE???

As much as i try to move away from the tharoor-modi controversy (thats what it is referred to in the media) i cannot. Is it simply because i have nothing better to follow or there is something more to it? the thing is our news channel either report on politics, cricket or films. Now when all three are invoved(ipl is cricketainment!) you will definitely have breaking news from morning to night on what Lalit Modi said to which what Tharoor replied to which what BJP has to comment with Sunanda Pushkar making a slight guest appearance by telling all of us very clearly that she isn't a proxy and that we sholud respect her as a professional. Not to forget the news papers from the front page to the last is fillled with IPL news. Front page has the ongoing battle off the field, politics page is filled with the opposition parties demanding Shahshi Tharoor's resignation, business page has IPL brand value and I-T departments investigations and ya lastly the sports section reporting the actual matches which seem to have been lost somewhere. Amidst all this it is indeed difficult for you to not sit and take notice of the ongoing war off the cricket field.

We have had everything in this (allegations, counter allegations, a mystery women, political parties, very famous adjournment of RS and LS, income tax department my god what is left perhaps Shiv Sena and MNS-we haven't heard from them yet). Amidst all this its the poor cricket lover who just can't undersatnd sitting infront of his tv sets what is going on. As he doesnt have the money or power for his voice to be heard. He is just used to enjoying the game.Can the politicians leave aside anything in the country? We love ipl, cricket, this one month of glamour and masti. We for god sake do not want politics overtaking the brand IPL which we cricket lovers have created over the past 3 years. How does cricket benefit(thats what ipl is supposed to be) from Sunanda Pushkar's relation with Shashi Tharoor or Tharoor's resignation or Lalit Modi's past record in U.S.A.

In this week long battle which seems to be never ending media has left out news which needed much more attention like Saina Nehwal breaking into semis, volcano eruption in Europe, cyclone which killed hundreds in west bengal, despite efforts of our scientists the-GSLV failed mission and many more which i am not aware of.

This entire week long Modi-Tharoor battle has once again tested our patience and endurance after the much hyped and irritating Shoaib-Sania saga. All I wish for is our favourite game to be back and cricket to be pure, clean and exciting as it has always been........
