The coming week promises to be the one packed with events and entertainment. As both IPL 2.0 (Indian Premier League) and IPL 15.0(Indian Parliamentary League or 15th General Elections) enter into their final lap. Both of these mega-events looked lacklusture in their initial phases. But now the battle is intensifying.
In IPL 2.0 its still difficult to pin point the four teams which will qualify for the semis. In the initial phase of the tounament when matches were low-scoring, one-sided and boring; one looked forward to the ads for entertainment especially the ZooZoo ad. This has changed in the last few matches as they are proving to be last ball finishers and players from Austrailian team joining in. As each and every win will decide whether a team is going to get a berth in semis they are delivering their best performances. So the coming week brace yourself for some 'sit on the edge' thrillers as the teams are readying to cross swords for the final round of battle.
Coming to IPL 15.0, with the Election Commission prohibiting media from doing exit polls there is nothing much that news channels and newspapers will cash on. Also polls'09 has proved a low turnout affair for the voters in majority of constituency. So till now general elections '09 is unable to enthuse media and public alike. And I guess things won't change till May 13th when the fifth and final phase of polling is getting over. After which media and public will be agog with speculations of who is hot and who is not. But as many poll pundits and politicians themselves are predicting that no single party or pre-poll alliance is going to get majority of their own so the parties will have to get their mathematics right. Come May 16th and all speculations will be put to rest as the results will be out that day and the politicians will get to know the public mandate, however fractured it is.
So all those Cricket and Politics buff out there get ready for some real action.
