I've been getting texts everyday quoting 35000 for a 3500 Sachin Tendulkar stand tickets. 1000% of the original price. People are definitely buying tickets at these prices, the stocks are rolling, people are getting leave from work, schools and colleges shutting down early, major surgeries being postponed like its shoe bite, the country is definitely feeling good.
So all the mad rush about the tickets and the game in Mumbai, but we've heard President Pratibha Patil has 65 VVIP seats reserved for her. That amounts to Rs. 1 crore in tickets.
A spokesperson for the president said, "Of course she deserves the ticket, she's India's President." Asked if he knows that unlike the United States, India's 'real' head of state is the Prime Minister (or in our case, the leader of the party - Sonia Ji), the spokesperson promptly replied, "You see, our madam has two credits to her name. President toh theek hai, she was head cook for Indira Gandhi. Now you won't question her status, will you?"
The way to the country's ruling seat is through the Gandhi clan's stomach it seems. It definitely pays off exceedingly well to be a good cook.
