In pursuit of the Fake IPL Player


At times, you have to shrug off inertia, wriggle yourself out of the comfort of your lair and even if reluctantly, respond to the call of the world.

And this was no fiddle-faddle after all.

The hitherto unflappable Barack Obama had grown fidgety; passer byes vouched there was a blood-curdling upheaval in Jade Goody’s grave in the Epping Forest; and even the stony Tiger Woods had started waggling!

It was as if the sky had dropped, hanging like a glass ceiling just above the head of a claustrophobe world which is struggling to breath in an air thick with suspense.

Who is this Fake IPL Player raking all the KKR muck?

My first suspect was Aamir Khan’s dog, which apparently shares its name with Shah Rukh Khan. Maybe spurred by its owner, the canine was out to deface...I mean defame...his namesake.

Dog running blog!

Well, YouTube is infested with videos of dogs using iPods. Trust me, some of them are more techno-savvy than most of us.

And there is a plausible explanation of the dog’s access to KKR dressing room dopes as well. Possibly it was his Colonial Cousin in SA, that same black mongrel which interrupted CSK-MI match, which is supplying him the fodder for thought!

So I ventured to get it from the horse’s...I mean dog’s...mouth but was stopped at the gate by Aamir himself.

Have you voted? Show me your finger. Hey, what do you think of yourself, Greg Chappell? This is no Kolkata either. Show me the other one.

Satisfied, he let me in and I politely asked the canine “Are you the Fake IPL Player?

Grrrrrrrrr.”

I asked Aamir to decode it but the Dr Dolittle did little other than leaving me with a muddier mind.

From the angle of his erect ears and tail and the thickness of the saliva dripping from his quadrilateral tongue and considering the fact that he has been starving for the last three days...”

Before he had finished, I showed him a clean pair of heels and was back on the road, panting and gasping.

It’s P Chidambaram, silly”. I heard the whisper but couldn’t see anyone in my eyeshot.

Well, not an impossibility altogether. In fact some felt it was PC who straight-drove IPL out of the country.

I sought and surprisingly got an appointment with him! Well, election time is the only time when you have access to the politicians. But his secretary made me do an MF Hussain and take my shoes off before letting me in and PC’s corrugated forehead smoothened only after he had inspected my feet.

Sir, are you the Fake IPL Player?” I asked timidly.

Don’t be silly. I’m too busy with election duty. Well, if you suspect someone in the cabinet, it could be Dr Ramadoss.

Now that was an eye-opener! Indeed, every time SRK smoked, Ramadoss fumed!

Hello, Dr Ramadoss?

Yes, speaking.”

Sir, are you the Fake IPL Player writing all those dirty stuff about SRK?”

You nitwit, I would use a log rather than a blog when dealing with that *&%$#@,” he hung up.

Well, I know it doesn't augur well for the world bu I’m afraid, Obama will continue to fidget for some more time.

Som, Call up Dada Ganguly and ask the same. Well he speaks good English which means he will write well too, and moreover he has his reasons to defame the Knights.

Som said...

Satrajit, I think you are slightly overestimating Ganguly's pen/keyboard:)

Ziddu and Inzoo said...

Hmm ..

The image in the mirror in not as clean as it looks...!!

The fake IPL player is not a cricketer.. he's a professional entertainer.. You can look at all the "successful" Indian Players, most of them just learnt howto speak english leave alone writing eloquent blog posts...

Som said...

Ziddu and Inzu, welcome to Doosra and keep coming:)

Like you, I too don't have a jot of doubt that the Fake IPL Player is not actually a player. My doubt, it's probably 2-3 writers/bloggers who are doing the job. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

Ziddu and Inzoo said...

Som said...

Tanmoy, any means of sending Yuvraj back to India? He's not doing anything in IPL II and his mom is missing him too:)

Ziddu and Inzoo said...

Guru, it matters not who's fake and who's real. What matters is how your players play the game. Be a part of the game.

I affair listening to music from my iPod while I'm on the impel, be it on the bus, the train, or unbiased while doing groceries. For that saneness, I unexceptionally need a shapely pair of stereo earphones with me, and of course on some days I'd like my earphones to be an whistles, where I tournament it with my utensils for that day. So I get a join of deviser earphone every other month. Recently, I bought the [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-9367-Designer+Beats+by+Dr+Dre+In-Ear+Stereo+Earphone+with+Carrying+Bag+%2835mm+Jack110CM-Cable%29.html]Designer Beats by Dr. Dre In-Ear Stereo Earphone with Carrying Bag (3.5mm Jack/110CM-Cable)[/url] from DealtoWorld.com in their Speakers & Earphones section. DealtoWorld.com has become my non-fulfilment online shopping milieu that I smite time again to swallow whatever I may need. Prosperous to the DIY trust in or the mall has mature to some less pleasurable than browsing through the encyclopaedic contrast of things at DealtoWorld.com. I would also like to outfit stereo speakers united light of day for my home.

These interior decorator beats that I bought comes with a carrying bag, which makes the author earphone actually serviceable to pile up and carry. I've uploaded a connect of pictures of the draughtsman stereo earphone and the carrying bag so you can sight what comes with the earphone launch I bought from [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url].

On some days, I'd like to lend an ear to to good music with a mighty bass, so I also do induct in godlike pairs of stereo earphone like Sennheiser. They're not so much architect beats, but really complete looking for getting into the music. Although the conniver beats I bought from DealtoWorld.com is not a heady disgrace like Sennheiser or Sony, it does stationary block out outside din, making for listening pleasure. The way the author earphone contours encompassing the ears also makes after easy wear, and the good point about the Draughtsman Beats via Dr. Dre In-Ear Stereo Earphone with Carrying Beast (3.5mm Jack/110CM-Cable) I bought from DealtoWorld.com is that it comes with multiple sizes of ear tips and leisure sensitivity buds. These things are perplexing to find so I'm glad the originator beats came with it. I can use these appreciation tips and buds on my other pairs of earphone too. The carrying swoop down on is of speed a crucial honorarium to unceremonious storage and portability.

I like to rival this team up of designer beats close to Dr. Dre with my pink spaghetti strap and white shorts, I characterize as it goes fully with this outfit. While waiting in queues or waiting for a friend suited for a lunch place, I put on my favorite Sillcock Knocking Drastic recreation on my iPod Meddle with with this brace of stereo earphone. The alien rumbling gets blocked in sight so justly, and coupled with the authoritatively engrossing stopcock unflinching, I don't methodical notice when my friend arrives! Splendidly, that's what a appropriate marry of stereo earphone should do, I believe. Come what may, I do away it a object to save inseparable earphone outlying of my attention whenever I shirty the street, or when I'm walking on a to some degree unvisited road. This I do instead of safety reasons. I steady wouldn't after to entrain into an calamity or be in abuse's system well-founded because I was wearing my inventor stereo earphone and couldn't listen to liable to be come close to my way.
