This is precisely what has happened to this young wizard Lalit Modi, the scion of yet another big business house of the country. He can fume and name names-but he can never produce the documentary evidence of the payments required of the India’s built-in system to be paid to the politicians, the top bureaucrats and the lowest menials of the State to be able to survive in any enterprise. For everyone abandons a sinking ship-none will come forward to accept and show the unaccounted receipts for years from Lalit. This is the rule of nature. No one really brings back a use-and-thrown-piece of once-useful article! And let Lalit not be nourish any false pretension or hope that the law courts, the Settlement Commission, the concerned departments -or even the mandarins of the BCCI- would come to help out the boy who stood on the burning deck!

And look at those who have suddenly become strange bed partners now in the game of ouster/dropping of the hot potato/bad boy of the Indian Cricket! The BJP-Congress alliance in the cricketing high-stake arena shuld be teplicated in the political field tuly to the benefit of the public who have to sacrifice a lot of their rightful share in the elections from time to time. If these two parties, essentially the two sides of the same coin, join hands politically, however bad it is for the moral fibre of the nation, it would be better for us-the hapless citizens.

But pardon me for deviating from the main issue. What is the moral of the razzle-dazzle of the IPL story, almost a 4-year pld garbaze in our backyard?
The moral is that, India’s national religion is corruption in every seen and unseen field. Moral corruption, pecuniary corruption, political-diplomatic-security-related corruption… and et al. The all pervading and overlowing filth and sewerage are now well inside our homes through the media-TV, and we have an over-production of the corrupt IRS-couple, corrupt IAS-corrupt IFS-B….corrupt MCI chairman..and more than corrupt film-cricket-politics-underworld-criminal-politician-civil service-media-NEXUS.

Lalit modi is now the cast away, the dropped catch, the accursed Abhimanyu of Indian cricket surrounded by half-clad glamour girls and tainted money without any protection of any sort. No, not even legal protection.

So, the ordinary cricket lovers, if you have tears, shed it now for the bad boy of IPL, Lalit, who made money for thousands of others!
