Confusion *

How on earth does one write about it? No...seriously! Like there aren't enough confusing things already! The IPL, for example!! How exactly does one decide which team to support? First of all, they're all Indian teams. To add to that, one team has an ex-captain who the entire country is emotionally attached to, another team has the best spinner the country has produced, yet another one has the most destructive batsman there is...and then one team has God himself. So one spends the whole 3 hours watching the match in nail biting excitement and ends up not knowing whether to be happy for the team that won or sad for the team that didn't!

And then there are the unavoidable commercials between overs. What exactly are you trying to sell, good sir? And why are they carrying away a packet of fast food on a stretcher!? And why....WHY would you want to rub salt in the wounds of an already confused mind?!

One could talk to some less confused friends to understand the ads...but only if the cell phone plans weren't so confusing! Different rates for calls to landlines and cellphones, local numbers and STD numbers, subscribers of the same service provider and different service provider, and different rates for day calls and night calls!! ... and then there are scores of SMS schemes! God help us!

Wait...which god?!

The proverb does say curiosity killed the cat, but with how things are, it seems very likely that confusion killed the cat – and then confused people into believing that curiosity did it. Whatever it may be, this cat is certainly going to die of confusion.
