After the successful completion of the 40 million dollar auction of cricket players in Indian Premier League (IPL), a few questions are buzzing around Mumbai and throughout our great country (whose cricket board has the unique distinction of turning a boring English game into an ugly money making machine) :Would Raj Thackeray be unhappy that Mukesh Ambani has bought a North Indian, Harbhajan Singh, for as much as $850,000 for representing the Mumbai team?
Would he be unhappy that his own Agarkar has been bought by Shah Rukh Khan (a Mumbai resident) and taken out of Mumbai to play for the Kolkata team, which Shah Rukh dares to call his own?
Would he be unhappy that, although Preity Zinta made her career in Mumbai and Ness Wadia owns 'Bombay Dyeing' (Shouldn't that be called 'Mumbai Dyeing'?), together now, they are promoting their cricket team in Mohali, a North Indian City?
