27 reasons why I became a smuggler twice in the past month…

IPL10_CSKvsDC 022

Date: March 14, 2010

Location: MAC, Chepauk (Chennai)

Occasion: Chennai Super Kings home opener Vs Deccan Chargers.

Task: Dry run.

Strategy:
Smuggle a small P&S via my friend Niranjana’s not-so-small handbag.

Results: http://j.mp/IPL3CSKDC

Lesson: IT CAN BE DONE!

And then, D-Day arrived…

Date: April 6, 2010.

Location: MAC, Chepauk (Chennai)

Occasion: Chennai Super Kings home game Vs Mumbai Indians

Task: To shoot as many pictures of God, as possible.

Strategy:
Having scouted out the various security/bag check contact points through the dry run, a two pronged strategy was decided on. Smuggled the same P&S via Aditya Shrikrishna’s cargo pants. But even he did not know about the redundancy I had in mind – my 6MP, 12x optical zoom Sony DscH2. Using my supreme powers of persuasion and evasive answering, I managed to take said camera inside the A-stand.

Result:

Lesson:
GOD IS GREAT!

Mission:
ACCOMPLISHED!

    ..and I thought you just needed ONE reason to smuggle that in – God. Sachin God. :p

    Awesome and all that, but why smuggle? Not allowed eh? That’s weird and so totally un-cool.

    Totally with Rads on this one. Can’t take a still camera to the ground? Patently ridiculous. But since that’s par for the course for the IPL and it’s management, no surprises there.

    Could’ve shown some paasam towards our captain (national and local) as well :-D .
