The IPL Carnival
The day started with a press conference with Preity, Shah Rukh, Me and Lalit making an announcement of the Miss Bollywood search. With the world press anxious and eager to know about the finer details, welcomed us with open arms. From there we headed straight to the Carnival where the eight teams alighted their respective floats. It was overwhelming to see the turnout and the 2km strip was jammed packed with people on both sides. It was an encouraging sight to see, just goes to show the IPL has been a big hit with the locals. At the starting point it was great to see all the teams congregated under one roof, and I noted the camaraderie between fellow players and so called rivals. I expected South Africa to be really cold as its winter here so here I was carrying 40 kg’s of warm clothes and wearing a Jodhpuri jacket today in the sweltering heat it was 32c and sunny phew!!! Tired and tanned after a very long and fruitful day. It has started sinking in that we are just two days away from the opening of the 2009 IPL season 2!
Tomorrow is going to be a big night, where all family, friends, teams and people associated with the IPL will meet for one Big Gala Party with international bands and the famous Cirque de Soleil perform. Can’t wait it’s all so exciting considering its my first year. I would like to thank all the RR fans who have been writing in and showing their support and all my fans for keeping in touch with me through my blog. Lots of Love and need all the luck and support from you all.
