When informed about this league, Vijay Mallya said, "Yes, I very much intend to buy a team and this time I will myself select all players. I have decided the name of my team as well- Firki Force India Royal Challengers." All attempts to contact Mukeshbhai have yielded no reply. His secretary, however, informed us that Mukeshbhai is busy on the terrace apperently practising how to shout "Kaaypo Chhe..."

ReplyDeleteyou forgot cheerleaders!
ReplyDelete@Smokin WDM2
ReplyDeleteNo boss... you forgot reading a few lines
Quoting verbatim from Lines 21-22:
"For the entertainment of the crowds, cheerleaders will be present at all venues and will dance on garba tunes every time a kite is cut."
PS: Nice to see you back after a long time. Were you under extensive POH?
I hope the cheer-"bens" will be wearing chaniya cholis, since mini skirts are totally against indian culture.
ReplyDelete@Zai
ReplyDeleteLol!! Cheer"bens" will definitely be in Chaniya-Cholis.. and only "chhas" willbe served to VIP Guests- how can you even think of drinking beer while flying kites?
First of all an excellent place to hold the finals...Ahmedabad...i just cant wait to see "cheer bens" in chaniya cholis!!!-;)
ReplyDeleteBut Mr Mallya will have problems hosting his parties coz Gujarat is a dry state so no alcohol-;)
Mr Mukesh Ambani will himself captain his team...he being a gujju will be an expert in kite flying...on seeing this Anil bhai will also jump to the bandwagon and both will be busy shouting "lapet" to each other as they do so in real life also-;)
@karan: yeah man.. rather extensive POH which left me devastated!
ReplyDeletebtw, dont you think you could be contributing to the meagre footfalls in my blog ;)
