Modi, Twitter and the “once upon a time I was the boss” saga…..

by SHUVAIT KOUL

“Sad to see the way the opening ceremony was conducted. Well I am sure the Games will be better. So let's hope they will overcome the start."

For those of you who are wondering who uttered this Gospel Truth, come alive because it is Lalit Modi time once again, but on this ocassion not in Chennai for the inaugural match between CSK and KKR but on twitter, probably a better pitch for him now?

Any guesses why the sidelined Modi did not like opening ceremony. Well no prizes for guessing since Mr. Modi must be using a lot of tissue papers seeing his baby getting nurtured by a new father in Chirayu Amin. One feels awful for the pioneer of IPL but all he can do now is tweet sitting in front of his laptop for hours together.

Not only has this season of the IPL become bigger in terms of the number of teams but also because of the fact that we have the rare intellect of Lalit Modi on Twitter who will be passing his priceless critical comments ranging from the supposedly dismal opening ceremony to the post match analysis to the outfits and cheering abilities of the blonde and beautiful cheerleaders.

While the entire nation is up in arms supporting Anna Hazare’s fight against corruption, we must also show our solidarity to Modi by reading and if possible occasionally replying to his tweets. The reason is plain and simple; just like Anna Hazare Modi is also our hero, though for more bad reasons that sane ones.

It is also worth mentioning that the political correctness of Lalit Modi is just incredible. One can discover that from his tweets.

But this perfection in him is not intrinsic but an inference of his fond memories with the BCCI. He has been there previously and knows how much it hurts when you get a rap on the knuckles.

IPL 4 has kicked off and so has the tweetamania sponsored by the genius Mr. Modi. This season promises to be a slobber knocker and so does Modi’s charming presence on twitter during the tournament.

He will leave no stone unturned in making the best use of his spare time, oops I mean all the time in opening our minds to the new vistas of IPL minus Modi saga.
