Kunal Dasgupta was let go by Sony Entertainment TV today, at least one person who told me this news said it with a triumphant flourish, "The Bongs are out, first from TV entertainment and then also from TV news soon!"
And I could not quite get the vitriol, but a heady mix of power, entertainment, cricket, sex and money has taken its first victim, even though I expected the first victim of the IPL to be the Rajasthan Royals. Lalit Modi will have his revenge on the RCA, and the Ahmedabad something or the other - name suggestions in the comments thread please - I've already got Ahmedabad Rioters (let go of the riots please!) and Ahmedabad Veggies. But how will the hard drinking, hard smoking captain (and others) of the Royals deal with the 'enforced' morality of Hindutva central? I know that there is more booze than orange juice in A'bad - heck, in IIM-A alone there is more booze than your typical Punjabi village. And there is possibly more sex in Ahmedabad than in Jaipur. But, there is this morality thing and all.
After all, how much can be done under the table. Or in the case of the powder, even on the table. Anyway, I digress. It appears that at least two promoters of news channels have supposedly approached RC for funds. It is a good time to have funds during these times, everybody and their long-lost cousin, twice removed loves you.

yup, Gujju women are pretty up front when it comes to 'that'! No hang ups about morality, be they married or single!!
anon,
i heard about that too.... thanks for the confirmation. so whats ram sene doing about this .
oh Muthalik pls go to Gujarat ASAP and save ur gujju hindu sisters from muslim youth screwing them.
u know i like ur blogposts n i do follow it. But ur Ahmedabad rioters joke is sic. U make fun of all english media reporters but u r also one of them in this case. By ur standard, team mumbai should be Mumbai manoos, coz mumbai indians is sarcastic. N delhi shd be called delhi theives or delhi pickpocketers or delhi rapers (no not that rappers who does rap music but rapers as in rap women) or even delhi rioters coz it all started in 1985, isnt it? N punjab can go by the name punjab separatists or watever, same with chennai, anyways u get my point... Ya its my rant u can call it that as i call it urs... but dont be biased (ya u can be biased, its ur blog....) but i like ur blog n ur political incorrectness but be fair to all n make fun of all not few. As of ur "more of everything thn jaipur...", ya that is true but that morality cover which may be hypocrite has saved the socail environment from outside so A'bad is still safest city for women to roam alone at night among all major cities. I m not here for political statement n i m not a hindutva flag holder but I m a proud ahmedabadi. So ya i took it a bit offensive....
So keep them coming, i will still follow ur blog for nothing but its political incorrectness n ur in ur face writing....
Would love to get a line or two in reply in one of ur post...
