It's the end of the IPL season, but Manmohan Singhs just getting started! A paddle sweep behind the wicket for the NC and a cross batted swat to the DMK. Add to that numerous, calculated chips into various parts of the heartland.. Phut! Bam! Boom! You can almost imagine him saying, turban and all, like Dhoni in the Pepsi ad "All you coalition raaascals! Miiind it!".
A blob of uncontrolled glee would probably be an accurate description of what I was when I plonked myself down on the couch early this morning. The eleven o'clock news was on, and strangely, everyone looked wide awake! A few seconds later, my grandma came rushing to find me dancing, though with a single leg. Happiness was ubiquitous... I could find it swimming in my soup, twittering around my ear and dancing on the boundary lines almost nude. Forget jockey... they've got the next best thing to naked right here on prime time television.
Ooops. IPL Fever...
Not fever as much as fanatical, all consuming adulation of the Chennai Super Kings... I mean, who doesn't love Yellow! It's bright, take that KKR! It's bubbly, take that Preity! It's Gulti, take that DC!
Now you know what fanaticism is. A complete disregard of logic and personal emotion in favour of hollow adoration of the greater good. This could beat Fascism in its idiocy. Lets say it does, Prima Facè...
Most of you're probably thinking, Definitely, Maybe... which reminds me... that movie is just amazing. I mean, its probably much of a critic favourite, but then movie critics are grouchy and sadistic old men who forgot there was a time when they could see these kind of movies and go out of the theatre thinking they might even meet someone beautiful, interesting and of similarly romantic disposition. Sigh. By the time the movie ended, I was wishing it was April again... to be perfectly honest, I was wishing that round about half way... this inspite of an extremely intelligent, sexually liberated Racheal Weiss (character)...
In any case, if rom-com's with incredibly cute female leads appeal to you, catch this movie on DVD. Definitely.
