Adieu to IPL and Cheer leaders !!



At last the saga of great Indian Premier league came to an end. We all will miss the daily dose of cricket excitement. Full marks for the organizers for making this truly a smashing event. We have witnessed a mega opening at Bangalore and a matching closing ceremony at Mumbai, where the Bollywood starlets came on stage to gyrate to the Bollywood songs, belted over the speakers.Even Salman Khan gave a performance!

We will also miss the cheerleaders, who entertained the crowds with their performances in almost all the matches.The cheerleaders have raised a big issue with their costumes. The moral brigade grabbed the opportunity to impose their dress code on these phirangi girls! Match after match, we saw them adding pieces of clothing to their costume. But, I feel the beauty of these cheer leaders lies in the brevity of their costume. When the additional clothes were imposed on them, they looked completely out of place and looked more like the scarecrows in an agricultural field cheering the birds, instead of shooing them off! We miss them and hope they will return in the next year also with some designer additions to their wardrobe, to cheer the spectators and soothe the moral brigade soldiers as well!

Well, the drama associated with the IPL is in no way less than the umpteen saas- bahu soaps watched on the small screen!It has its quota of controversies, emotional drama, sentiments and tears. And it certainly helped the TRPs of Sony Max, which is grinning all the way to bank.Ravi Shastri asked all right questions (while fishing for the compliments) and the players gave all politically and religiously correct answers.I think that the sole loser is Harbhajan Singh.

Well,we are looking forward to IPL next session and Cheer girls eagerly.

Till then we have to make do with ICL matches and their cheerleaders, I suppose!(SIGH...)
