Kakas and Messis..where are they actually headed?

These fellas did not "trouble" SA much, but they might well do that here.....


Yes, I am talking about football only...The entire attention was in S. Africa, agreed. India also was nowhere in the scheme of things. But in this football crazy Kerala of India, a toddler will easily lecture you on Kaka or Messi, and now Diego Forlan as well. Such was and is the frenzy for Joubulani (no matter the brand, anything round that can be kicked around).


U have to see to believe it. Posters & huge cut outs of mainly Brazil & Argentina. Fans swearing and celebrating every fall and rise of their team and dream stars.....


Post July 12, no one seems to care. Most of these posters, they call it "FLEX"..I think it is made out of some plastic based synthetic material. What is going to happen to these billboards of all size and shapes that is there almost in all small junctions in Kerala?


Some possibilities....

  1. They will be safely secured away by the fans.
  2. They will be forgotten and slowly it will release itself and fly off in the wind. And finally it will itself settle down in a safe place in the local drain or pond!
Scenario no. 2 is most likely to happen.  

My dear local Kaka and Messi, how eco-friendly is your football frenzy?
