We love cricket. India loves the game! Cricket is the reason for our very existence. Cricketers are our Gods-our triumphant boys in blue. Our religion?-cricket! Our love?-cricket!! Our mania?-CRICKET!!!
Well that’s clear sufficient.
Pritish Nandy Communications carries you the craziest, amazing love story of the year! And the one thing it’s not about is hearts, flowers and Cupid with his bow-n-arrow! Infect, tweak it a little, take away the bow-n-arrow and put a bat in Cupid’s plump little arms and what you’ve got is MEERABAI NOT OUT!
Meera Achrekar, a mathematics teacher at Vishwaprem Vidyalaya, has been happy and single for fairly a while now. The great love of her life has been, and will always remain, cricket and Anil Kumble. The meticulous number cruncher is, despite not being the classic eye-candy-teenage-fantasy-fodder, a huge hit in class, and that’s because Meera, unlike most teachers of her school, is more fanatical about her religion-cricket-than even the school cricket captain
Living with her family in their little home in a Mumbai chawl, Meera was initiated into her temple of Wankhede Stadium by her brother, Mahesh.
Mahesh Anant Achreker played cricket at the Ranji Trophy level. Sadly, middle class making-ends-meet economics got the better of the impreessive Maharashtrian leggie, and passion had to make way for blame. Mahesh is today a cricket cynic. So while Meera bunks classes in adding to fights for season tickets to every cricket match that is played at Wankhede stadium, Mahesh steers obvious even of the cricket scores!
While the folk at Bhaktiyog Society have cast aspersions on her craze forwards the game, the bigger problem that worries the Achrekar family is Meera’s still-single status. Love suddenly blossoms with heart-specialist, Dr Arjun Sachdeva and Meera comprehends that perhaps there is more to life than praying for Team India and Anil Kumble! However, in flanked by this wonderful swap of text messages, Valentine’s Day outings and walks along Chowpatty, she confesses to Arjun that she is by now married-to cricket!!
So, while the maiden’s heart beats for Anil Kumble and India’s fortunes, the more significant question is: will Meera be able to commit to her non-striker beau and keep her potential father-in-law at bay?
This season’s most charming, reality-struck romance is here to warm your heart! Cross your fingers and implore that Meera doesn’t have to choose between love and Anil Kumble!
