The inevitable has happened. Dreams were shattered, hearts were broken and many were sent to deep chasm of depression after seeing India lose to minnows Bangladesh. All the hype around ‘Team India’ seems to have suffered a big blow. I wonder why they still show that Pepsi ad, where Indian team poses like the tigers, when they falling like nail pins. Bangladeshis would have had a heartily laugh seeing these tigers become asses in front of Bengal Tigers.
Bangladesh deserved the victory because they played to their own satisfaction. They outplayed India in all departments of the game. I wonder why Indian team, being such an old and experienced, still struggles to dive and fly in the field even though India has the most powerful whitener called Rin. We have the power of Mandira Bedi, perhaps the only women commentator ever in cricket, and her fancy saaris.
Pakistan team should wait for their counterparts from across the border to get done with things and then they can together escape via the sea route. Indian players can cross over to India with the terrorists infiltrators, just a way to save money or else why spend so much or air fares.
So what should India do to get over this mental depression? Take a lesson from UP politics
DEPUTY CHIEF Minister R.R. Patil may have shut down dance bars, but Mumbai’s bar girls have found a new stage — campaign rallies in Uttar Pradesh.
The seven-stage Assembly election begins April 7 and ends May 8. Politicians have already started ‘booking’ the girls, hoping that their performances will attract larger crowds to their rallies and, ultimately, translate into votes.
Confirming the bookings, Bharatiya Bar Girls’ Union president Varsha Kale said: “The girls are flooded with such requests and are paid about Rs 1.1 lakh per show.� The money is shared by a group of 10.[HT]
They already were in a jolly mood so let them at least enjoy Caribbean. Their escape route is already set.
The Ho Ha ad is the recent Nike advertisement on TV
The two-minute ad shows boys leaping out of cars and taking up fielding positions; a Parsi statue stands with a finger up in the air, like an umpire; two girls blush as a ball hits a player in his crotch; a ball ricochets off a nearby billboard, jolting a man clipping his nose-hair; and a fielder calls out, “Ai, Balcony, ball de na!�
As for the logistics, it took four days to shoot, 250 vehicles to create the jam, 300 extras to simulate the feel of a bustling street, about 40 actors, one elephant, 20 chickens, a few pigeons, a dog and two star cricketers (Zaheer Khan and Sreesanth) to create Mean Streets cricket.
Interestingly, the set was adjacent to the Bigg Boss house, which led to some amusing and unexpected situations. “One of the balls landed on the Bigg Boss set and we could hear Rakhi Sawant screaming,� recalls Deo. The Bigg Boss producers also bor rowed their elephant briefly for an episode.[HT]
