As January comes to close, it's also time to kiss good bye to holidays, all that is left is medical leave but you have already killed most of your distant relatives by asking leave and now looking for weirder options to apply leave. Just when you thought the week was not so eventful quite ordinary stuff panned out - Budget for the privileged Mango man (aam aadmi), SuperBloodBlueMoon and IPL were the most trending topics at workplace, sorry FB (as if we work at office).

Indian Purchasing League:

The striking resemblance between IPL & street/gully cricket, book cricket is uncanny. It's that time of the year when the yard stick of cricket is bent into a rubber band for BCCI. The IPL's chief functioning body are usually centurions who have in-depth knowledge of the game through their political career - Lalit Modi, Anurag Thakur, Rajeev Shukla, Ajay Shirke and more. All these extraordinary cricketers decide the course of IPL, they select players and teams based on the traditional street cricket style, they bend over and a number is shown behind their back, the chairman decides blindly which number goes to whom. Same goes for the concept "Right to Match" the winning or most partial team gets to call the shots; like batting first, picking the best player, decide the joker in the game etc. More on this purchasing league once we get around the tournament time.

Budget:

What is the first thing that pops on your mind on "Budget"?  Yes of course you look through the list for liquor rates, apart from that?  Yes, its that suitcase! That mysterious suitcase that our Finance Minister has to pose with in front of the camera before and after the budget. It’s a symbol, more like a statement that says like Rajinikanth " Unoda kudumiye enkita than iruku". The social media of course goes on a frenzy as they start debating the revision of "Condom" prices, then there are those tea kadai thatha's who worry more about taxation on FD's, PF's and pension than about their sons not looking after in their old age. Stock brokers are the most affected as they face more heat in the stock market than saying no to their wife for leftover Upma. For a Politician it’s just another day as he neither cares about Finance Minister’s suitcase nor people’s kilincha purse, all he cares about is his benami’s whereabouts. To sumup budget in a nutshell " For the corporate, to the corporate by the corporate".

Kollywood Wrap:

The week was eventful, most of the releases very average, this time you can't blame bus fare, let's blame the Superbloodbluemoon instead. The auspicious time of the moon and eclipse led to the failure of the films released this Friday, not the story, screenplay or direction. Next time the directors requested the producers to change the shoot location where moon is not visible instead of concentrating more on script (what is script anyways? Its all myth).

On social media; the viral video of the month was sponsored by the actor who sweated out his time at the gym. He is seen flexing his chest cable cross over rigorously but for some reason flanks his ab after that. He lives by the principle "Theivam, guru, pitha, matha" (Those who dont get it , please check his Sakka podu podu raaja event video) .

While trolling released films has been the habit, Mr. Madras released a poster on his upcoming film which has put the meme makers in a fix. The poster itself looked amusing, more like an act of desperation and they are left clueless how to troll it.
