The IPL and slavery

Jug Suraiya blogs in the Times of India that the country is utterly hooked on the IPL, and has a light-hearted take on the advantages of not being obsessed by the tournament.

If IPL has enslaved us - and there's no if about it, it has - there have never been slaves happier in their bondage. Onion prices? Inflation? Total logjam in Parliament? Pakistani terror? Saffron terror? Chinese incursions into Ladakh? We swat them away like the pesky machchars (mosquitos) that they are. Don't worry, be happy, IPL's here.
