IPL JAI HO!
22nd January, 2015
The jolly and adorable Srini was on to his tenth cup of
kapi in the neighbourhood Saravana Bhavan on a sweaty, smelly Madras morining,
when the lovable Lalit (no relation to Lalit Suri of Lalit Hotels fame) turns
up along with Fast Gun Murugan in tow. Srini, though in a jolly mood, was
nevertheless not happy to be disturbed at his morning ritual of a dozen cups of
kapi. Lalit, who had just landed from London (via an unkempt Air India flight)
could not be bothered with niceties…he had but one aim!
And Lalit comes to the point over his fourth cup of kapi…
Lalit: Kick out MSD and put me in the board of India
Cements.
Srini: I’m getting tired of MSD as he is turning out to
be LSD…but that isn’t reason enough for me to commit suicide.
Lalit: Well then, I will give the BCA guy all the inside
info.
Srini: Go ahead…! Have changed all the rules, the
accounts and the passwords…yeah … just go ahead!
Lalit is unhappy. He goes to amma and then anna and then appa
but every thambi, dikda and hari were supporting Srini. He is scared of going
to Mumbai as he could get thrashed by the guards at the CCI and all those
myriad gymkhanas dotting tony Bombay. He cannot go to Jaipur as Shilpa had
threatened to kiss him a la Prince Charles or was it Richard Gere or was it
both…gawd…so difficult to keep up with Shilpa! Then he heads back to cold &
wet London, where he goes to the Queen who listens to him patiently and then
threatens to knight him! Lalit runs and runs and runs and finally reaches
Pragati Maidan and via Appu Ghar he reaches the pinnacle of justice in India…the
Supreme Court! He calls up the BCA guy and goads him to file a case against
Srini.
The wiggies at SC do a rethink and end up linking Srini
with BCCI, IPL and ICC and one of them, who played Scrabble fiendishly well,
derived that the letter ‘I’ was the culprit and like a holy cow astrologer,
tells Srini to drop all the ‘I’s in his life! Srini, of course, was made of
stronger mettle and he laughed it off!
And then we know what happened today…!
