IPL had become my entertainment routine. Alas it's over and am in a fix over what to see. Saas bahu. Naa. Reality Show NAAAAAAH! Breaking news on India TV. Big NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Help me. Tell me what to see.

The IPL folks sure know how to make cricket all the more interesting. They have won a million hearts, right from the idea of having a twenty20 cricket match between several teams across India to cheer leading, team songs, advertising and now the closing ceremony! It was a remarkable sight - performances, gymnastics and laser act (Salman Khan's performance to promote Dus ka dum did appear out of place though). Apparently the IPL trophy is the most expensive in the world as I just heard about it by one of the commentators. Well, I'm just waiting to see who wins the trophy and how they close the first season of IPL! Must be another wonderful performance I presume.

I walk into a bookstore and pick up a couple of books. And much before it's time for me to shave, I am done reading! If it was not for my better half , who at the mention of 'Crossword' twice a week would say with a very mean look, "AGAIN?" and if it was not to avoid any further non-stop arguments, I would probably have spent all my earnings on words. After all, every single penny I earn comes from my words. While I think it's good to be a fast reader, my bank balance insists otherwise. Did someone ever say, "It doesn't pay to be well-read"?

I hope it does. In fact, I'm pretty sure Mumbai Indians will win the IPL match today. After the commendable victory in the cricket match against Kolkata , the Mumbai team must be oozing with confidence. Can't wait to watch you guys win again. All the best Mumbai !
