IPL bug bites my sis!!

The sister had gone to see the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Superkings today with a bunch of office colleagues. Well its really nothing to do about the cricket ofcourse...but more of a picnic of sorts where u hav a chance of seeing some celebrities and hav a blink n miss appearance on TV provided the camera guy is nice enuff.
So to ensure this "TV appearance"..flashy banners needed to be made...n since I am supposed to be the oh so creative one..was put to the job...
Tried to wriggle out of the situation by giving stuff like ..
"East or west..
Knightriders r the best"...now where have i heard that one before..hmmm
"Gali gali me shor hai
Dhoni ki team chor hai" ...yes yes..very innovative I can be..
But no..it wasn't so easy to squirm out of it..so had to get down to work..
So here are the gems that finally made it to the banners-
"Dil me mere hai dard-e disco..
Dhoni team leke eden se khisco!!"

"KKR ke do do shaan
Dada aur Shahrukh khan"
errrrr...I am not sure how Shoaib n all will react to this one..will all due respects to the team!!
Then there was ...
"Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Dhoni wicket pe sota hai!!"
and finally...errrrr....
"Bolo Om shanti Om
Dhoni ke peeche maro bom"
(Note: Bom---> Bomb in bengali)
This rear attack might not have gone down too well i guess...censorship issues n all...so it was toned down to.....
"Om shanti om
Dhoni go home"
sigh..i know...it kinda lost d zing na...kya kare...
But as luck wud have it...KKR sank...so eventually the banner which wud have been more apt...
"Dada ke saath huyi anhoni
Match jeet gaya Dhoni" :-O

I had suggested carrying two way banners...one side for KKR n the other for Chennai Superkings...a subtle flick of the arm n voila u r on the winning side...but if only genius was appreciated..hmph!!

So, the sister went to the stadium all equipped with a white cap(bought specially for the occasion), sunglasses(more to complete the "look" rather than the shade part of it), sunscreen, snacks, banners and a crash course in cricket so that she wudn't shout "goal!!goal!!" everytime sumone hit a 4 or 6!!

She called me from the stadium..muchos excited abt seeing Dhoni and Shoaib...and trying wildly to see Juhi Chawla...game did u ask..nah who's got time for that!! :-D
At the end of the day... her celebrity count has been Dhoni,Shoaib,Shahrukh and Ishant Sharma who actually waved at them...*swoon*!!!:-P
Well the team lost..but she's happy...had good fun..saw the song n dance routine and some cricket thrown in...dats what IPL is all about to me..a lot of sho-sha with a little cricket on the side...just so that noone complains that its all a big tamasha!!
P.S : Ahhh...since am on d topic of Knightriders...came across this analysis of Knightrider's shameful loss in the last match...the expert panel on this news channel had guess who...no not Sidhu..not Charu Sharma...not even Mandira Bedi can u believe dat...tch tch...but an Astrologist...hmmmmm...
His analysis said that the black jersey of Knightriders is the colour of Shani...which is unlucky for them..chalo thik hai man liya...and then he gives this gem...left me quite clean bowled..so can't say he knew nothng of cricket..bilkul sahi googly dala!!
He said "Aur unka naam dekhiye...Night matlab Raat...raat hoti hai kaali..toh aap dekh sakte hai kaise kaale rang ka asar hai inpe"!!Koi spelling thik karvao yaar iski...yeh toh definitely paanchvi paas se tez nahi hai!!
Kahan kahan se le aate hai...not his fault though as much as the news channel's which was hosting the show..huh!!
