Whites to War-Paints !!
Indian cricket has come a long way …
From Oval to IPL.
It has changed, transformed, morphed, mutated and trans-mutated !
And Indians have been the key driver for this change.
The CPU : The leisurely 5-day unlimited over cricket engine has been upgraded to a Multicore. Multi Teraflops, super clocked CPU creating a hi-perfomance real mean machine !!
The Program : A five day indecisive ordeal has been transformed to a 4 hour Jamboree which guarantees a definite winner, each time every time !!
The Display : Monochrome dull whites to a dazzling riot of hi intensity splash of colors from a 256 bit palette !! Check out the wigs and the warpaints ??
The Diversity : Male dominated stern faces audience to exciting ( and excited ) fairer sex…
Co-eds in hot pants and cool shades…
Enthusiastic home makers hosting IPL home parties…
Aunties & Grandmoms fighting for the prime sofa seat in front of the living room TVs…
And of course, adding color & spice are the specially imported cheer leaders from far away countries !!!
The Optics : From just two pairs of tired squinting eyes ( of the wicket umpire & the leg umpire ) to a battery of hi-res cameras capturing every movement in the field in real time 3-D !!
The Verdict : An unimpressive raised single forefinger to multi dimensional action replays on giant screens building up the anxiety & heartbeats of the 50,000 odd spectators and the billion TV enthusiasts all across the world with a dramatic announcement of the verdict !! – and sometimes followed by a hi-intensity Bhangra dance or a sad faced duck waddling across the screen !!
And that’s Indian Cricket in suuumary !!
And I wonder..
If a small bunch of Indian cricket enthusiasts can create such a massive revolution in this game ...
All of us ( the 1 Billion plus youngsters and adults ) have the potential to change the world ??
So here is my call to all you folks ..
Go ! Find the Source Code !!
And we will change this World !!!

Sir, It was an accident ! I fell off my Scooty !!
What happened ? How did that happen ?
I asked nodding at the crepe-bandaged right hand and wrist .
I was at the pre-boarding counter today for my flight to Delhi.
And the smart bright red uniformed young girl was checking us in.- a bit clumsily as she was managing the barcode reader and the keyboard with a partially effective right hand .
She looked up; her face lit up; a beaming smile and white pearly teeth dazzled through her painted lips .
Sir, It was an accident ! I fell off my Scooty !! It was an accident Sir !!
Well, Watch out & take care !!
Thank You Sir !!
And I was off through the glass door.
And as I negotiated my way to my seat I wondered – recollecting the smiling face and the excited tone in her voice - how come a nasty accident like that can become such a joyful and a proud moment ??
