Dear Children
What is an old Iyer mami decked in a nine yard sari and one eye forever stuck on Sun TV's slapstick comedies doing in the world of blogging you might ask...Don’t ask.I am telling you no, just listen...
"CHAPPELL BOOTED OUT OF INDIAN CRICKET” screamed the day’s top story in the newspaper.
I thought I needed new glasses…and so I read it again…nope I didn’t need new glasses..but I think the editor of the newspaper does…What is so special about this news that every channel i change by mistake (usually i only watch Sun Tv and AXN late at night so that my grand children wont have the guts to join me) is going ga-ga over and why is every restless young lad around talking about it instead of oogling at the fair skinned north indian girls in our building?I hear the Indian cricket team has fallen out of favour with the humble Chappell..big deal...did you know my Krishnamoorthy (god bless his stupid soul) dogged (and not bitched..i always teach my grand children to be gender sensitive) right in the early 70s that Chappell is no good...Krishnamoorthy should know..he played around..a little football, a little cricket...and more..thats why HE got booted...anyways..coming back to the point, Sourav says he had issues with chappell, Sachin says he was hurt because of chappell, Kumble says chappell wasnt kind to the seniors...well..my dear children in starched white pants and sunscreen on already tanned brown skins..what do you expect from chappell?
Chappell is crude, rough and cheap...but thats how our generation has grown up...today's children...tsch tsch...so adamant...will eat dosais only if it has a chop stick sounding name and will pay 500 rupees at a multiplex for the "movie experience"..what experience?? will Hrithik Roshan stop making his pelvic thrusts if you choose to sit for a morning show in the nearby theatre for 40 bucks?My point is just as we white hairs dyed in godrej black have managed to conquer our fears (read computers, Ipod and you pod and god knows who pods..) you too should be able to adapt to the times..if that means you'll get sore feet after dumping chappell then so be it.
Imagine yourself in the cricketers' shoes....ofcourse it will be uncomfortable!First of all they have make up caked on their faces to look good on screen, secondly, their girlfriends are all b-grade wannabes who choose their next boyfriend in consultation with the selectors and now this...give the boys a break....Now that they have dumped chappell their life will be so much easier..they can actually concentrate on cricket for the first time in their lives...
They can wear the Reebok and Adidas for their on field exploits and leave the chappell for their early morning exploits in the bathroom..And if they produce on the field what they produce in the bathroom...we can always beat them pulp with the same chappell...i am right no?
