The Plot Thickens
'The next 9 days will be pretty tough in everyone's lives'
That line really scared a lot of people!!!!
Can't wait to get thru them and be on the other side!
P.S.: "There will be a robust severance package" was the silver lining,though. Its wait and watch time @ work.

IPL - reincarnated.
Update : Wow! I should be a cricket astrologer! Check this out
Chennai Super Kings playing Mumbai Indians in Durban or Cape town? Wow....
Will it work?
If it does, it means that cricket has taken one more step forward. A step forward on the road to globalisation.
What Lalit Modi may realise, sooner rather than later, is that this is the format of cricket that he might be able to sell to the US marketplace in a few years. I won't be surprised to find an IPL-ish tournament happening in the USA in some time! Its going to be a great journey for the sport in the next 20 years or so... my take is that, a few years hence, the ICC will be very grateful to him for widening the reach of cricket.
Amen to that and bring on the beers!

Why it cant work
When you're about to start something new, something unexplored,you're always looking for any advice that you can get.More than anything else, you're looking at getting the kind of advice that says, "Hey, you're on the right track and these are a couple of suggestions from me that you can think about"
I think a lot of people, when they hand in advice, give it as if there is only one way something can be done. Truth is that there isn't! When you throw a new idea at people, they come to the table with pre-conceived notions about how it should be done.
When you're starting something new, I think you should prepare the best you can and after a point, just trust your sensibilities.If you've prepared well enough and you have a strong instinct about what will work, you should just go about it your way.
And when it works, you can tell the story about why it does!
