Twenty20 - A marketing Bonanza

India is a crazy nation. The craziness makes us tick. Imagine this - India out of the world cup - viewership goes down - cricketers home are pelted - twenty20 announced - india wins world cup - crores showered on the cricketers.

Thus goes the ups and downs of India's cricketing world. I love Twenty20. It gets over in three- four hours, the game is fast paced. It ensures a nail-biting finish. Amazing alderaine rush. Every minute worth it.

Twenty20 is a fantastic marketing concept. It has bought a new leash of life into the world of cricket. Whoever thought of it is a marketing genius. So i thought of a concept that can beat this and make even more revenue and we can ensure India wins and make money in the bargain.

The match will be a five day match. The cricketers shall play on the ground. Whenever a batsman is batting, send an SMS. After the first innings, the scores earned by each batsman is counted + sms votes which are equated to the runs which make the final total. The match continues and the next team batting the same rules follow. Finally it is not just the scores that will matter, but also supporters.

And we, being die-hard fans of Indian cricket and idiots who dont mind sms'ng in the name of patriotism for cricket, will make India the world cup favorites over Australia!

Game anyone!!!

Finally back to work!

After a gruelling week, i am back to work!
So boring, sitting at home, watching the ceiling, meeting the doc's... the smell of the spirits in the hospital are so sickening. Nyways, its over and that is what counts.
And guess what, I finished three books in the last week and saw 6 movies back to back yesterday. Which ones? Here goes:
Cars (Animation), The Condemned (Action Thriller), Incredibles (Animation), Stranger than Fiction (Romantic Comedy), Pulp Fiction (Drama) and Good Will Hunting (Redemptive) Phew!!! I loved good Will Hunting. Matt Damon and Robin Williams are so good in the film. At a point when Matt is about to cry and Robin says 'Its not your fault', i think the scene was so moving i almost cried before i realised my sister was staring at my expressions...

But now its good to be back at work... So let the magic begin... again....

What hppens when you are back from the dead? Let me tell you how it feels. It is like you thank your heavens what a wonderful life it is. At the crossroads of death, you dont think about your telephone bills, fuel costs, global warming, unrecquitted love, uncertain future, all you think is 'I want to live'. Surprising, for when i was living, i always used to think, when will my misery end, and when the end came near, you were ready to face anything. Put out your hands on to anything to come out of the dark hole you are in. Now, I really appreciate life. Thanks... no tension of loans, no fussiness over credit card telemarketing guys, big sharks out to swollow you... nothin... this is life... enjoy to the fullest, for a few days back i saw what could have been and realised, what i can make of today and tomorrow is much better than 'The End'.
