The King Planning To Sell Off Kolkata Knight Riders

The King has always been associated with success. Everything he touched turned gold, be it Chak De India or Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi or KBC 3. Success is the middle name of The king.

When The King had purchased KKR, everybody was scrambling to be associated with KKR just because The King was associated with it. Therefore KKR became the most sponsored team and in turn became the only profitable team in the inaugural IPL beating away more high profile teams owned by Ambani or Mallya.

But all these things refused to translate into on field performances from the KKR. The last nail being the loss to the minnows - Bangalore. It was the last thing that The King wanted and there was nothing that he could possibly do about it.

So now The King is in talks with Nokia, ADAG, Sahara and some other companies for selling off KKR. According to sources, The King is getting around double the price he paid for purchasing KKR. He has recovered every penny he invested into KKR and is getting monumental profits even by selling off a mediocre team. This is why The King is labelled an articulate businessman. Since his real estate ventures in Dubai are bringing him huge profits, his company Redchillies also doing good, he can safely wash his hands off KKR.

The only identity that KKR had was that The King was its owner and now it would be interesting to see who could stop KKR from free falling once The King's name is disassociated from it.

As far as I am concerned the day The King sells off KKR, I will support the Deccan Chargers as I am from Hyderabad and was supporting the KKR just because of The King.

Kolkata Knight Riders Loses Its Biggest Fan

Prior to the beginning of IPL season 2, the only club that made all the noises was Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Be it the signing of Mashrafe Mortaza for an astronomical amount or the multiple captaincy theory or the lambasting of a certain Sunil Gavaskar, KKR was every where. But as soon as the IPL began it was reduced to sawdust. The club that began with a huge roar is now moving with a frigtened whimper.

Nothing is going right for the KKR at this moment. Starting from the captain's form to the depthless batting and very mediocre bowling coupled by miserable fielding (especially Aakash Chopra - God!!! How did he fit into the 20-20 format???)

The only bright spots in KKR's crumbling armour are Chris Gayle (but he is leaving in a week's time)and Sourav Ganguly (He has proved why people call him DADA).

Though I am from the city of pearls (Hyderabad), I still chose to support KKR, just because Hyderabad's team had Andrew Symonds (the player I hate the most) and KKR's owner was The King and it had Chris Gayle, Ishant Sharma and David Hussey (some of the players I admire the most).

My friends who are reading this post will know how hardcore KKR fan I was. I must admit that KKR is the Real Madrid of IPL. The most glamourous club to be in but very mediocre in its performance.

KKR started its second season at IPL with a defeat to Deccan Chargers, but then again I thought that it was one of the off days of KKR and took it in my stride.

The next match was won by KKR against Punjab. Thanks to the rain and an unstoppable Chris Gayle. I thought that KKR was beginning to gel together as a team.

Then came an irony of fate. KKR lost to a fluke team like Rajasthan Royals. Mainly due to the selection of Ajanta Mendis as the bowler for the super over. Here the entire world realized why Dada is considered India's best captain ever. Had he ben the captain he would never have given Mendis the ball, specially not when Yusuf Pathan was batting.

Then came the final nail. Mumbai Indians just blew away the hapless KKR who were no match for the Mumbai Indians in any department of the game. Agreed that they were a bowler short as Anureet Singh had hurt himself even before he could bowl. But their batting fell apart like seven pins.

So now for me IPL 2 is over because untill there is divine intervention, KKR can never make it to the semifinals. But this doesn't mean that I will support any other team. Who knows I may support KKR in season 3 (provided they improve substantially), but definitely not in the ongoing season.

Now it doesn't matter to me who wins or loses the IPL.

May the most deserving team win.

The Name Is NAUMAN!!!!!

Sufi Malhotra - The guy whom the PEOPLE had chosen to become the ultimate Roadie.

Nauman Sait - The guy whom the DESTINY had chosen to become the ultimate Roadie.

MTV Roadies 6.0 has come to an end and as an anti climax to the finale Nauman Sait has won it, belying all hopes. No one expected him to win and dismissed him as a fluke or a ladkibaaz or whatever you would like to call him. But he had plans of his own.

He never vented his ire and silently let his actions speak for himself. Probably the only guy who never ever abused on the most abusive show in the Indian celluloid's history. Though he was voted out in the middle of the show mainly due to the backstabbing by his best friend Devashri (God!!! How did he get into the show????? Just by singing Rock On!!!). But he made a spectacular comeback into the show, kicking off the challenge of Pradeep and knocking him off the show.

After that he virtually became untouchable, winning the immunity tasks in almost every episode. Some would again dismiss it as he was competing with girls. But the tasks in Roadies is such that your gender hardly matters. Except for the finale task.

But there were instances when he was extremely lucky. Especially in the penultimate task when Kiri had convincingly defeated Palak and Nauman. Influenced by Raghu and Rajiv, Kiri chopped off Palak's rope and took Nauman into the final with him.

The finale task was one of the best tasks I have ever seen in my life. When the task started Kiri grabbed the initial advantage and Nauman was considerably behind him and at that point of time it was evident that Kiri would win the task. But as man proposes, God disposes. Nauman slowly but steadily made giant strides and although he was badly bleeding, he overtook Kiri was won the Roadies - Hell Down Under.

And finally,
Was Nauman lucky to win Roadies - MAY BE.
Was Nauman deserving to win Roadies - CERTAINLY!!!!!

Wham Bam, Thank You Mam!!!!!

The second IPL season gets underway from April 18th. After having seen the explosive first season, I just can't wait for the second season to begin. The second season is being played in South Africa, the same place where India had won the inaugural T-20 World Cup. With the immense number of fours and sixes which rain in IPL, this tournament can be safely called 'Wham Bam, Thank You Mam!!!!!' which means either you hit out or get out.

As always this year too I am gonna root for Kolkata Knight Riders - The Most Profitable Club in IPL. They will be kickstarting their campaign on April 19th against Deccan Chargers. Whether its the multiple captain theory or the mind numbing signing of Mashrafe Mortaza, KKR never ever fails to make news. Credit of which must go to its charismatic owner - THE KING.

This year I would love to see KKR opening their batting with Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum - probably the most devastating opening pair in IPL.

David Hussey would be another interesting watch as the pitches in South Africa are quite similar to those in Australia fom where he belongs.

And not to forget our very own Ishant Sharma, who brings in fear into the hearts of the batsmen.

This year even Sprite is sponsoring KKR which further reinstates the fact that KKR is the most sponsored team.

Players to watch out for:-
1) Chris Gayle
2) Brendon McCullum
3) David Hussey
4) Ishant Sharma
5) Mashrafe Mortaza

My prediction for KKR in IPL 2:- Semifinals

War cry of KKR:- Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo

Bolly(wood) Polly(ticks)

This is a humourous take on the Bollywood actors if they were to join politics. Supposing all of them are granted ministerial berths, what all ministries would they hold.

1) The King: Finance Minister


Everyone knows how good Shah Rukh is at managing finances and minting money. Whether it is producing a film or getting the best from his movies and brand endorsements, SRK is the KING.

Even as all the teams at IPL lost money, SRK’s Kolkata Knight Riders rode away with a profit of 80crores in spite of not reaching the finals. He could best qualify to manage the finances of the country.

2) John Abraham: Sports Minister


One of the most athletic actors of present times, John has a penchant for outdoor games and will make it his ‘Goal’ to encourage sports in the country. Rest assured we can expect India to be sporty enough at the Olympics in John’s guidance.

3) Sunny Deol: Defense Minister


Once Barack Obama said to Manmohan Singh;
'The USA has a billion strong army, a billion aircrafts, a billion tanks, a billion ships.......What does India have???'
To which Manmohan Singh replied,
'India has SUNNY DEOL'
The above incident says it all.

4) Salman Khan: Health Minister


The man will make sure that everybody has a well-toned physique. I just hope the country doesn’t go topless.

5) Mallika Sherawat: Information & Broadcasting Minister


I am not very sure about the information aspect but when it comes to broadcasting anything from her assets to her appeal to her publicity gimmicks, Mallika Sherawat is a pro.

Dressed in a burkha or not promoting her films, the actress grabs headlines without uttering a word.

6) Amitabh Bachchan: Prime Minister


The man ruling supreme above all ministers, Big B is the natural choice.

Breaking News: The King and Aamir Khan Patch Up!!!!!

As I was flipping through the news channels, there was this news that was being splashed in all news channels, 'The King and Aamir Khan patch up'. I was like is it true? and yes it was.

After all what was it that had brought two sworn enemies together??? It was the ongoing tussle between the producers and the multiplex owners. The King and Aamir Khan had met at Karan Johar's home and their reconciliation lasted almost six hours and they emerged arm in arm. They are scheduled to address a press conference together to show their solidarity with the producers of Bollywood.

It is the revenue sharing terms which is the issue of contention between the producers and the multiplex owners and untill it is sorted out, no movie big budget movie will release in India.

Now that The King and Aamir Khan have patched up, lets see what other juicy bite can the media industry harp on?????

P.S:- I have changed the name of this blog from 'triplemsworld' to 'triplemsdreamz'.
