I and Y

There is a great sense of irony in the names of people who run the two cricket leagues in India.

While IPL has been consummated, mid-wived, delivered and nurtured all by Lalit MODI, its lesser known step-brother ICL has a Himanshu MODY to take care for. Modi and Mody - I and Y.

While IPL has been busy giving logistical lessons to FIFA, helping South Africans to go to school and lest we forget, boosting the South African economy by 3 million Rands, ICL has plummeted to spiralling rounds of self introspection catalyzed by the latest ICL tournament's cancellation and the impending mass exodus of players following BCCI's amnesty.

It is only ironical that while Modi seems to suffer from capital I disease, Mody is left asking: Y is all this happening to me?

Ya, there's so much time that you almost kill yourself with boredom and to avoid doing that you come up with such idiosyncracies. :)
