I’m a little ashamed to say, actually I’m always ashamed to say most things, but about this one I am a little more ashamed than normal. Since you insist on being more specific, mathematically speaking, if I am ashamed to say anything at an average of 89% times, this present information raises the shame meter to 97.33%.
Anyway, let me just spit it out, or as usual, I will run out of column space before coming to the point, and please make that, any point. Last Sunday, I went to an Indian Premier League match. I say, Indian Premier League, because someone told me you can’t say IPL without first getting the IPL’s permission. However, you can call it by its Latin name which may be The Indian Premier League.
If you are not following, let me clarify by way of another example. Just like you are not allowed to call your father Ramesh, but you can call him Mr Kumar, similarly, you can’t use IPL, but you can call it The Indian Premier League, or Mr Kumar. So far, the IPL has not objected to Mr Kumar. (Furthermore, I apologise in advance for assuming your dad’s name is Ramesh, if you could be so kind as to clarify what his name really is, I will definitely issue a correction in the second, no make that third, edition of this newspaper).
