Newsblast #6
a.k.a. Purana maal le lo bhai... (Or, Old News, New Comments)
Well, the old goat-footed, pointy-tailed, horned Bad Boy has come down with a heavy head cold. People in many localities are trying to recover from aerial attacks of porcine nature. Otherwise there is peace and prosperity in every corner of the earth and India is finally completely free from corruption.
Only this can account for the one piece of news I read recently.
How else can we account for the fact that India-Pakistan-South Africa series due to take place in June-July has found no sponsors? Yes, you read that correctly. India... Pakistan... Cricket... ODI series. And (sit down now), no companies coming forward to sponsor the series. What next? Ashes with no sponsors? Real Madrid and Gunners working on charity?
If the aforem. reasons are not true, there are only two things I can think of
While we are on the cricket (or rather, something close to cricket), 2003 was a blouse (links appreciated), 2007 was a saree. Now, while BVIFOMM rejoices over the fact that nothing is worn over the saree (and hence we have run out of scandal clothes), SVIBOMM shudders to think what will come in 2011.
P.S. BVIFOMM: Big Voice In the Front of My Mind
SVIBOMM: Small Voice In the Back of My Mind (both pronunciations rhyme with Sweden)

- The Great Indian Postal Service has finally ground to halt completely (assuming the tenders come through the Post), or somebody in Kohima or Imphal has woken up to find an avalanche of tenders in their letter-box (BCCI meets in Mumbai, remember?).
- Nah, can't think of anything else. This point is here just because every "a" has to have a "b".

I have tried commenting on this post twice, both time connection snapped.. hoping it will happen now...
I am glad and sad.
Glad coz its high time the BCCI and ICC get their act together. The present cricket scenario is pathetic.
Sad coz it is bad news for any soprt.
But shocking nonetheless. :P
that was
hoping it will not happen now. :D
And it didnt. :)
@Neihal: Well, the name of the game is "money", and BCCI did manage that pretty well till recently. But yes, as you said, it is sad to hear people not sponsoring any sport, and shocking to hear it's cricket in India.
BTW, thanks for the clarification... I was wondering why you needed to take sahara of disconnection.
