PCB : Another epic in making

Get over the twists and turns and mind-boggling plots of 'Ramayana', 'Mahabharata' and 'Bible' or the 'Lord of the rings'(LOTR) and 'Harry Potters'(HP). They might be considered the greatest epics but there is something much more thrilling, edgy, clumsy and confusing brewing in our neighbourhood.

Pakistan 'Circus' Board ... urrr ... sorry ... I meant the Pakistan Cricket Board has the potential of being one of the greatest story never told.

Intertwined with truth, lies and betrayal, PCB has been the centre of attention (if not attraction) among the cricketing world for quite sometime now.

Now, who can beat this?

Qadir, Sohail resign, while Altaf was sacked -- all within three months -- and now Butt is in line. None is spared, if some players are dope-tainted, officials are corruption-tainted.

Younis, Intikhab, Shahid, Asif, Akhtar -- everyday throws a new face, a new story, a new twist in the tale which never cease to surprise you.

Well, that was for the general information but here comes the scoop.

According to surveys/research and data received here LOTR and HP directors are planning to make a movie on this potential-to-be-the-greatest epic.

Well, rumours are also ripe that Khushwant Singh is fed up of dyeing his hair and before dying, he is dying to write the greatest epic of his lifetime and with his 'Train to Pakistan' connection, he can well come out with a masterpiece.

But here also an Indian will have to fight it out with JK Rowling, who is according to sources is not too happy with her Harry Potter series and wants to write a masterpiece before she dies.

Meanwhile, Shashi Tharoor has also decided to come out of the 'Shadows across the playing field' and join the field instead and might partner one of the protagonist of the would-be book.

Well, I don't want to sound too ambitious but who knows I myself could be the next Valmiki or JRR Tolkien. So, WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
