Ya, i know it does not rhyme, neither it's a proper cliche and that's exactly my intention not to make it so . I mean it was all in bolds and flashes that IPL GOES GREEN only too recently . However so , the reality is , as always the case , way too real . Even as they coronate it to be the "BIG-BASH" or the "CASH-STRAPPED" tournament ,the IPL suffers from the Audience-Parasitic syndrome.
First things first , let's start it with "Audience-Parasitic syndrome" : In today's jungle ,where it's already hard enough making a living , it is even harder , mind you , making a killing as is the case with IPL . The IPL is the the jungle king , as it were .It is affluent ,to say the least , and never misses a train to do what it takes to get even fatter . It's a hyena's world ,when it's your day..it's yours and you have the spoils , you rule the roost and all such kinda stuff ; but when it's not..move on,bear the adversaries . Chance never presents it's sight twice , so better cash it in when it is in it's delightful shimmer even if it means a few lies here and there , that could , of course , later be attributed to a minor slip of tongue if at all others mind to reason out the non conformance to the policy . This is the modern day mantra and is fast becoming a law than just being a theory or a hypothesis . And IPL is no different than any other organization in following the law of seizing the opportunity when it comes and forgetting the bye products of it if not required . To put it into perspective : IPL , in it's third edition opening ceremony , made it public to support environment in it's present edition , when IPL commissioner Lalit Modi remarked , "The IPL is committed to greening its operation......blah..blah..whatever" ; however it's doing little in sync with the lofty promises it made to blure(blur+lure) the audience into believing the crap . "Audience-Parasitic syndrome" explains such behavior by initially establishing the connection between such organizations and it's audience and then by objectively defining the quintessence of audience for an organization i.e. these parasitic organizations feed on the money of who else but it's host : the audience . Believe it or not ,the syndrome is real and is here to stay . Beyond a trace of suspicion the IPLs will go on making shallow,devoid of substance promises so as to please its Oxygen Blowers..Life Infusers and defy each of it's promise unless until awareness takes over .
The issue at hand is the meddling with fireworks at IPL-3 opening ceremony, and during and after matches despite constant far-cries of the game's officials about the game being ditched of all polluting policies, and that there would be an effort to save environment. Perhaps it has got something to do with the myopic audience ,which is an ever appraiser to each boastful word of IPLs but is never a critique when the time comes to assess..assess not what is done but also what is not done . Now, what this laid back attitude of people has meant is more and more IPLs getting off easily even after committing such blunders but for the infamous and feeble minded audience.
Sometimes It is time you need to stop overlooking and recalibrate that angle of yours by starting afresh . Yes ,for the sake of thinking segment of our brain start questioning..start confronting..start being more aware ,and more importantly, start being a true and dedicated audience for your own good if for none else's .
Now, if this case of IPL is not a reason enough to prompt a change among audience,then i doubt any other case is. And it would not be inapt to say that the condition of audience is that of a hapless king who has the prowess but not the mind enough to exercise it's awesome power and thereby yield it's savory fruit .
