Weekend Rewind with Gokul Krishnamoorthy: #IPLAuction #Covid19 #Pathaan #Argentina #IranRevolution

#IPLAuction

Move over FIFA World Cup. It’s time for the IPL. No, for the IPL Auction. Sorry, ‘Mini’ auction’. It may be a mini auction but it gets all the traction and more, with the mega bucks, mega stars and unbelievably popular teams involved. The IPL has made household names out of CSK, MI, KKR and co. It has also gamified aspects of the game like team selection with live auction to augment fan engagement. No wonder that even mock auctions are being followed and shared passionately. There’s no stopping this juggernaut. Something tells me this year will disprove the fatigue theories of last year, helped by some astute marketing.

#Covid19

China’s ineffective Covid vaccine is a lesson for the world on how not to press forward with an agenda without paying heed to voices of reason. And now, the world lives in fear of another round of what could have been avoidable. The rumours and fake forwards have begun. One hopes the real thing doesn’t follow.

The message is #FAKE and #MISLEADING. pic.twitter.com/LAgnaZjCCi

No need to panic. Variants driving surge in China, US, Japan was found in India before. Every population is genetically distinct & deals with variants differently.

#Pathaan

The #BesharamRang number’s dream run continues. More songs are out and striking a chord with audiences on the net. And the boycott tags have gone silent. Happy New Year?

#Argentina 

Some say it was the best FIFA World Cup final ever. It certainly worked like a magical script. Two goals in the first half by the team many expected to win. Two to equalise in the second half from France. One each in Extra Time, again with Argentinians going up first. And then the penalties. If it were a league somewhere (not pointing to any one in particular), one might have seen aspersions being cast on social media that it may have been fixed to make things supremely exciting. It was that good.

#MahsaAmini #IranRevolution 

Well done Vice News. This is far more impactful than any Cannes Lions-winning work that you have done. The protests continue. As do the killings and threats to anyone including those who have done any ‘media work’ “against the regime”. The brave voices that are coming from the streets of Iran need to be amplified now more than ever. 

❗️Important clip: words of RECENTLY DEFECTED IRI’s Ministry Of Intelligence officer says the regime now very fearful and beginning to crack. “If these protests continue the regime is bound to go.” Well done @VICENews getting this out #Mahsa_Amini #OpIran #IranRevoIution pic.twitter.com/kCzYbsLoKb

In another part of his speech, #IRGC commender Qaani threatens anyone who has done “any media work against this regime, even for a day” that they would suffer grave consequences “one day.”
