Tharoor + Sunanda + Modi = What is THAT all about?!

Ok, so the third edition of the multi-million (billion?) dollar Indian Premier League is going on. And as usual, with glitz, glamor and glory, confusion, corruption and chaos are present in equal if not excess measure.

So I'm chatting with my Quizwondo, Apoorva Sripathi :) and she wants to know what's up with these people. Here is the conversation that ensued:

Susanna: ipl is becoming sick

i wanna see a good ol' test match nw!

Apoorva: i didnt like it after IPL 1 :) me too

wanna see dravid bat :D

Susanna: yeah :) the wall :)

Apoorva: yep :)

Susanna: and nw tht politics is mixed up its even worse

Apoorva: what exactly is happening? i dont understand :S

Susanna: tharoor said he "mentored" the rendezvous group tht bought kochi team but lalit modi a.k.a daffy duck face :P says tht tharoor is more involved and so the franchise should be taken away and re-bid

Apoorva: lol insult to daffy :( oh ok ok

sunanda pushkar?

Susanna: apparently this chick gets 70 crores without actually doing anything other than being tharoors "very very good friend". Ahem.

Apoorva: hahahaha!! how is she involved in this?

Susanna: according to modi, she is named in the equity holders

Apoorva: oh apdi

Susanna: yeah i have to find out what the heck sweat equity is

Apoorva: why? for acj?

Susanna: no cuz thts what she is being offered

Apoorva: oh lol ok

Susanna: Sweat equity is a term used to describe the contribution made to a project by people who contribute their time and effort.

Apoorva: oh ok so they just work and dont contribute money? and they get returns?

Susanna: the prob with sunanda pushkar is... Modi is hinting tht the onli sweating she does is with tharoor :P

Apoorva: AHAHAHAHAHA
