The secret diary of Lalit Modi

Given Lalit Modi's Twenty20 experience, Ajith Pillai in Outlook believes that the IPL chairman can take it to the next level - livening up Indian parliamentary debates, making them more entertaining and ending up generating advertising revenue from them.

Better dress sense: Right now our parliamentarians (in their crumpled khadi whites) look like boring Test players. The new outfits will be bright, colourful, trendy and will look good on TV. Clothes, they say, maketh a man. It also maketh politicians. Incidentally, my dress code has the approval of ex-Rajasthan CM Vasundhararaje although she felt that I have to come up with something more imaginative than saffron bermudas for BJP MPs.
