Let the games begin

Well, I am the perennial no hoper. In fact, the only time I had hope was when I played for my school. They thought I might make it to the test side one day. Well, made it to the Ranjis, but never beyond. And this time round, am part of the IPL. Actually, I am not too sure why I am here. The team’s full of super stars and all I do it bowl a bit, bat a bit, and field like a maniac. But, there’s one thing I do very well. Serve drinks. And that’s what I am expecting do in South Africa. As I said, I am a no hoper. And have no hopes of getting a match in IPL.

One good thing about the IPL money is that I have bought myself this thing called MacBook Pro. My cousin tells me that it’s the best. As for me, I am still trying to figure it out. This doesn’t have a left click/right click, the icons fly past you like a film. But it looks great. As I said, I am a no hoper. And I dont think I will manage much beyond surfing the net.

The other good thing about the IPL is that I can see all these big shots from pretty close range. My team has a superstar captain…err sorry… ex-captain. We have a megalomaniac as our owner. Our coach comes with loads of attitude and baggage. Some of our international players are interesting characters. Unfortunately, our biggest international player has dropped out this time. Otherwise, the scenes would have been even more interesting.

And throughout the IPL, I will be bringing to you the “aankhon dekha haal”, right from inside the dressing room, meeting room and players’ bedrooms ;-) .

Let the games begin!
