IPL2 got over for me once the teams reached South Africa. Why? Sharukh Khan can take all the credit for it. As soon as they reached South Africa he annouced that he has replaced Brendan McCullum as the captain of KKR. That is when the world came crashing down for all us DADA fans. Shahrukh betrayed us all. I could'nt believe my ears, in India he was totally in support of Sourav but once he reached SA he showed his true colours. I should've expected this from him.
I being an ardent Sourav Ganguly fan couldn't accept his humiliation. I just couldn't support KKR anymore. My support remained only for Sourav Ganguly. I wanted the team to lose and only Sourav to perform so that Shahrukh learns a lesson for humiliating someone I love so much and worship. My interest for IPL2 was just dying out when Fake IPL Player came into picture. He claimed himself to be a KKR player and gave all first hand information of what is going on in IPL2 behind the curtains. Many believed he ws lying, he was a fake or he was some small time journo. But I didnt care who he was in reality. I just enjoyed his blog thoroughly.
It felt as if he was speaking for all of us. He wrote everything I had in my mind. It was like he was speaking my mind through his posts. He is the true hero for me this IPL. I started taking inetrest in IPL2 again and it was fun relating the incidents in the tournament with his posts. Every morning I would look forward to a post from him on his blog. He would give the inside news of KKR and it would give me immense pleasure to see Shahrukh (Winnie Dildo) and Bhookha Naan fail and pay for their wrong doings.
I think the ZooZoos and FIP were the best part of this season's IPL. I am writing this post to bow down to him and thank him for providing us with such wonderful entertainment all through IPL2. I am feeling really emotional that he has stopped writing. I hope my request is sent across to him somehow to continue writing and make us happy. Cheers to you FIP.

SLUMDOG MAKES ME PROUD
Finally the wait got over and I watched the most awaited movie Slumdog Millionaire. Although a lot of my friends already downloaded and watched the movie but the pleasure of watching it in the theater is something different. The movie is simply amazing. It is beautifully made and the toggling between the different time frames is shown really well. Im so proud that a movie on Amchi Mumbai is in the Oscars and so is our very own AR Rahman.
But it seems that the people of our country are not really happy about this fact. They are complaining as usual about the movie showing the bad picture of our country to the world. I think they fail to realize that this is not the bad picture but the real picture of India. The movie has clearly shown the various issues of our country which may not be known to these complaining people who lead their lives in AC offices, 5 star hotels and posh apartments and have no idea about the world outside.
It is the basic habit of us Indians to be complaining about anything and criticizing everything. After the 26th November terrorist attacks the whole of Mumbai began criticizing the politicians and the system, the Government, etc. They are the same people who will be taking the next flight to US or the UK or who will just busy themselves in earning money for themselves and their families but not even think of dirtying their hands in politics. But when it comes to criticizing anything they will be in the forefront.
My whole point is when India is being potrayed on an international level through a movie instead of being happy, people are just busy criticizing it. The other day this professor of mine went on to say that he hopes Slumdog Millionaire doesn’t win the Oscars because the director is British and according to him Britishers are always trying to show us low. It is really unfair to discriminate or stereotype people this way. And I think he forgot that the story of the movie has been adapted from a novel written by an Indian. Infact most Hollywood and American movies which get recognition are based on drugs which is their biggest issue. But I never hear them complaining like us for showcasing their issues to the world.
I agree everyone is entitled to their opinion but I hope they stop complaining and start appreciating more often. Else instead of just complaining and criticizing I hope they put a step forward to make a change themselves.
