Off cricket matches and 21st century consumerism.

IPL Is done and dusted with! Now we move on to the once exiting
format of the game, 5O over cricket. The current one day international
series between India Pakistan and Bangladesh is astonishingly named the kitply cup. I hope the tournament names dont go any ridiculous than that, because soon we will may have the likes of itch
guard, aishwarya atta, allout and good knigt sponsoring cricket
tournament and matches. I would love to hear Dean jones welcoming
cricket viewers on tv, exclaiming welcome to the Itch guard cup or
aishwarya atta cup.
Welcome to the 21st century consumerism.
Once small companies of india are making it big in the new economy boom.
Who would have thought kitply would be sponsoring such a big
tournament? Surely a wood and furniture company in india trying to
sell wood to consumers of 1 billion plus, must have bells ringing in
America. If everyone started consuming wood in india as much as
americans do, then we may as well preserve some trees around so that
our grandchildrens would know where the classic furnitures came from
and how a tree looks. Recently ive been hooked onto shows on travel
and living like monster house, while you were out. The amount of wood
used in such shows is quite astonishing, an american can just say that
its just a show and that is it. But the reality is that every americo
house hold has to have an teak table, wardrobe made of wood, windows
made of wood to name just a few, and yet india and china worries US
big time.
But for now we will just concentrate on the boring 50 over ODI’s.
