The Return - Yet Again

Yes! The return to Mixed Bag for yet another post. More than 2 weeks since I last spewed something here. During which, half formed ideas have spun through my head with Usain Bolt-esque speed without really forming anything concrete. Not that I have managed to come up with anything concrete at last, but it is my space and my drivel! The comments section is open for you.
So, they say 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scornd'. And what fury! A volcano erupted in Iceland throwing up enough ash to turn Europe topsy turvy. Flights cancelled, people on Easter holidays unable to get back, work coming to a standstill, it sure has been some eruption. Oh but wait! Where is the 'woman scornd'? That is an easy one now! Ayesha Siddique of course, the other Mrs. Shoaib Malik. Thought you could fly off easily into the sunset with Sania, eh Shoaib? Never that easy now, is it! In the meantime, I have a statutory warning for my tweet happy friends reading this. 'TWEETING WILL LOSE YOU YOUR JOB'. Don't believe me? Ask some of the most prolific tweeters. Shashi Tharoor. Or Lalit Modi(in a few days now). Or the mysterious Sunanda Pushkar. The woman's 'sweat equity' has now got Rahul Dravid thinking whether he can encash all those drenched shirts of his. Would be a billionaire if he did that, for sure.
In a parallel universe though, the slam bang continues. And so does Danny Morrison and his perversion. This time, displaying an intimate knowledge of fellow bleater L. Siva's anatomy. 'Gee Siva!!! That bat's got to be thicker than both your thighs put together'!!!! Right Mr. Morrison. If you are done with that and taking gratuitous upskirt views of the cheerleaders, can we have some punditry on the cricket please? Robin Jackman seems to have perfected that art though. So now, just by standing near a team dugout and looking conspirationally at the camera, you can make out what a team is thinking. 'They need more wickets'. Wink Wink!! Nice one Jackers!
Notwithstanding the advertisements though, this IPL has certainly given us some never seen before memorable sights. Sourav Ganguly diving, MS Dhoni punching himself in the face like a prize boxer, Sourav Ganguly stopping a ball while diving WITHOUT injuring himself in the bargain, Virender Sehwag having a strike rate of less than 100 in an innings in any form of cricket, Sourav Ganguly actually pulling off a blinder of a catch intentionally and many more. Bring on the semis now!
And lastly moving on to the highly depressing Gunners. Flattened by Lionel Messi, a first league defeat to hated rivals in 11 years and a defeat to a team which had last beaten them when Elvis Presley was still the 'King of Rock and Roll'. The last one, coming after throwing away a 2-0 lead in the last 10 mins, nearly made me go into hibernation. As the inevitable talks of 'next season being The Season' are rolled out yet again, the cash happy thug, Emmanuel Adebayor returns during the weekend. Can the Gunners wipe that self satisfied smirk off his face? I think Vivek Oberoi has a higher chance of starring in a movie, which would remotely classify as a 'hit'. Please Arsene! Do something. Show him who is the boss!
So then, till the next time I take a laxative to cure my writer's block again! Adios!
