How NOT to celebrate someone else's IPL win !

1. DO NOT hold the cup to your chest tightly as if you have won it yourself. Let the real winners share the limelight.

2. DO NOT call the owner of the team as a city boy from your city. He stays miles away in another city.

3. DO NOT treat the whole team as belonging to your city. You just lent it its name. There are hardly any players from the name-worthy city in that team.

4. DO NOT give away gold medals to the players when your state is under a huge pile of debt. Else, do not blackmail the centre to wave it off.

4. DO NOT become an event manager and puppeteer the crowds and the people on the dais to dance to the tune you want them to dance to.

5. DO NOT also become a policewallah and make people stand in a line. You are supposed to be leading the state not the parade.

6. DO NOT control the crowds. Let them have freedom of speech and expression.

7. DO NOT make the country feel people from this state have lot of free time. We toil day after night to keep the GDP afloat.

8. DO NOT use the occasion of someone else's IPL win to launch a PR campaign. Your image will only worsen.

9. DO NOT treat IPL as Olympics. They are but a mere private sporting event with negligible significance. Instead sponsor a few players so they can win us medals in the Olympics and make us proud.

10. And last but not the least, did you seriously fold your hands in a namaste position when the national anthem was being played? Bow down to thee O great statesman!
