VISION 2020

If u are thinking this is rhetoric on what our ex-president feels about the future of India, or how a CEO of a software firm conceptualizes inclusive growth , you are absolutely going wayward. As a matter of fact you rank terribly low in terms of GQ ie Guessing Quotient. ( hey kaustubh ! there is one more to the list ;) ). So coming back to track, I say, how can you think of anything else amidst all this bitching going on in the name of cricket(read IPL)..? Anyways. Offlate I felt the need to explore my inner self. For that I was advised to meditate ( you cant always blame scantily-clad cheer girls for every other spiritual upheaval). What came out of it was a truth so beautiful, so real, so far-fetched. In fact what churned out was a pastiche of cricket and spirituality. I foresaw cricket, say ten years from now. This is what the enlightenment says:
YEAR 2020:
Sachin Tendulkar has already scored 50,000 international runs with 160 centuries. He is preparing to win 2023 World cup for India and for his son Arjun Tendulkar ,who is playing as the captain of the Indian cricket team.

Now there are 50 teams playing in the IPL. Dewas Destroyers and Boisterous Bareily are the latest addition.

Dada is sure he will be able to win the next IPL for KKR.

Shahrukh Khan says ‘My name is Kahn’ ( Kahn as of German goalie ‘Oliver Kahn’). He has actually left KKR after soul-wrecking performance for a decade and taken the franchisee for Moahanbagan Football Club.

Shashi Tharoor and Lalit Modi jointly own KKR.

Mandira Bedi.Thanks to your growing shares and assets (pun intended), IPL is exponentially prospering.

Harsha Bhogle shows signs of real hair regeneration.

Red alert. Chinese are into cricket and have virtually destroyed the Indian cricket goods market. They are next targeting the cricket itself. Australian cricket board is worried.

Vijay Mallya is the president of BCCI.

Hockey is still our national game. Although Gagan Ajit Singh and Rajpal Singh play for Saurashtra and Karnataka (cricket teams) respectively.

Saina Nehwal marries Pakistani cricketer Atif Hussain.

Atif Hussian becomes the first Pakistani captain after Imran Khan to have not used a translator at a post-match presentation.

Shoaib Akhtar is again banned for two years for drug-abuse.

Shahid Afridi is again in the controversy after he was caught hurling stone at the floodlight. Shahid says he was not hurling the stone at the floodlight, he was just checking the direction of the wind flow.

Bangladesh is confident it can once more gain its 'test playing cricket nation' status.

The latest Shane Warne biography claims that he has slept with 2000 and not 1000 women.

S.Shreesanth is the bowling coach of India. He has advised the young bowlers NOT to loose their aggression, keep their cool and concentrate on basics.

Cheteshwar Pujara now has 15 triple centuries in the domestics and is still struggling to make it into Indian Cricket team. He has launched a rebellion in the woods of Bastar with the other strugglers. He is renamed and rebranded as ‘Che Pujara’( as of Che Guevara).
