FAKE IPL PLAYER

Well this post is fully dedicated to the Fake ipl player. For all those who are not aware of this anonymous personality, this person is definitely grabbing a lot of attention in this season of IPL. The person has been blogging about his team and the discussions that generally take place off the field and the events that take place in the dressing room. He says that he will post about all the action taking place in the dressing room, bedroom and bathroom of the players. ( Mann you have a lot of guts.)

This blogger calls himself a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders team and through his posts its shows his clear hatred towards the co-owner Shah Rukh Khan and coach John Buchanan. And is also posting about the post match parties too. The blogger is playing a safe game by not directly mentioning the names of the characters instead he has given them nick names with an explanation on how that name arrived. Well thats super-cool man.

His way of narrating things that are happening inside the team is absolutely fantastic.By the way IPL-2 being quite a bore with the matches being washed away by rain and the poor crowd turning up for the match, all i need is some action and entertainment. Which i'm definitely getting by reading the articles posted by you in your blog.

Who ever you are man once you get caught you are gonna be screwed for sure. And your career is gonna be totally fucked. But who cares, as of now your posts are better than the matches. You rock and keep rocking !!!

Mani Ratnam : SRK was my first choice

SRK was first approached to play the lead role in Raavan. However Abhishek will be playing the role now opposite Aishwarya. Shahrukh Khan was first interested in playing the role when he heard the script from Mani Ratnam but due to the delayed start of the movie he got committed with Aditya Chopra's Rab ne bane di Jodi and couldn't make it. When asked SRK he said there is always next time.

Mani Ratnam suffers Heart attack

Ace director Mani Ratnam suffered from Heart attack today while shooting for his magnum-opus Raavan. And was immediately rushed to Apollo Hospital for medical aid. This one is his second attack. His movie has been stalled until further notice. Get well soon Mani "The Godfather" of Indian cinema.

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar unveiled his wax statue in Mumbai today. Thereby he becomes the first Indian sportsperson to be featured at Madame Tussauds. The statue will be available for display from April 23. Sachin said that the statue is a reflection of his contribution. Sachin made his debut against Pakistan in 1989 and is still playing and has set records in both forms of the game.

Roger Federer married girlfriend Mirka

Roger married longtime girlfriend Mirka on Saturday in his hometown. Federer who met Mirka in Sydney Olympics in 2000 has been dating her for the past 8 years. They announced last month they were expecting their first child. Fedex will play in Monte Carlo Masters next week. He is going through a tough time after losing his No.1 position last year to Nadal. He is aiming for his sixth Wimbledon title this year. Lets hope time changes after his marriage !!

Sachin and Yuvraj are neighbours now

All rounder Yuvraj has bought a lavish 3 bedroom flat in Bandra, Mumbai. He joins Tendulkar along with stars SRK and Aish who reside in the same locality. Tendulkar who has his own villa next to his flat will be moving in soon. "Toscano" is a 15 storeyed building and Yuvi stays in the 15th floor.

The film has no songs same as the original version. Shruti feels scoring music for a suspense story gives her more scope and the re-recording will be really challenging.

Shruti who already has a rock band has already performed in various cities. She made her debut as a singer when she was six. Currently she is acting in a movie titled Luck opposite her childhood friend Imraan Khan. Now, thats how a kid of a legend should be !!

RAHMAN NOT IN BOND MOVIE
