IPL and its effect on families

A US study has found that "cities with Major League baseball teams have a lower divorce rate." I don't know about divorce rates, but in a similar study in India, cities with IPL teams will probably score high on father-son bonding -- and also in couch-potato-hood and grogginess during the IPL season.

    So my mother could be city-bred Saroja Devi going:

    Twist dance Theriyumma,
    Test Match puriyuma?? to my small town dad.
