IPL - in all its glory

IPL had taken India by storm last year, this year the storm is not even a strong gale having moved to S. Africa. It's tough to rationalize the concept of an Indian Premier League being comepltely played on another continent altogether.

I wouldm't say I haven't been touched by the frenzy, more so when it gave opportunity to visit EDEN Garden and cheer the teams with my friends it was always such a welcome break from the monotony of life that one tends to get into.

However, we are back to square one with the IPL's shifted to S.Africa.

The only bit of masala currently is the Fake IPL player blog on Blogspot which by last record had more than 2700 followers. It is an interesting piece of writing, obviously the writer is fairly talented, even better apparently from calcutta, but somehow my opinion poll with all those I know about his true identity remains a mystery.

Some are feeling rather excited about finally being able to get the long held secrets behind those closed dressing rooms and gaurded hotel corridors. But still it remains to be seen who this fake IPL player is. Is he a fake IPL player, is he player at all, is he someone famous like S.Gan, probably not although seems clever enough.

When everyone is giving their reaction I found something strangely biased in their veiws, they were all concerned about what was being written about their wonderful idols, one lady was interested in the truthfulness about the parody on B.Lee and P.Zin. Interesting stuff! not that I approve of perverse comments like some seen on his comments pages, but truly, people are hooked on the IPL Fake player blog. I am late entrant into the readership of his blog. However, I am thouroughly impressed, both on the gossip and rumour front and his writing ability.

As it ocurred to me right now, perhaps this is one of the gimmicks of Mr. S.Kha who knows all the mediums to market his product after all who can forget A.Bac and A.Kha's blogs which took the Indian Film journalists world by storm.

Who is this pseudo blogger, pseudo player .. at the IPL in the KKR team?

Is it even a HE? I Wonder, is it even 1 person or a team of content writers?

Food for thought think about it?
