About this ebook

“Hey, are you bored with your dull and monotonous life? Do you waste all your spare time reading dull books like Shakespeare and Charles Dickens? Is your life too tame and domesticated? Do you want to inject some excitement and exuberance into it? Do you want to improve your lung power and be able to yell and shriek at hundred decibels for hours and hours? Do you want to get lots of friends of all ages, religions, and races who think and act alike? Do you want to extract the maximum out of your gigantic high-definition TV? Do you want to be at the edge of your living room couch shivering in nail-biting suspense and anticipation? Do you...”
“Yes! Yes! Quick, tell me what I need to do.”
“Simple. Just become a real cricket fan and you will achieve all that I just said.”
“What? Don’t be silly! How will that help? I am already a cricket fan in case you didn’t know.”
“Hah! Are you? Don’t make me laugh! You are like a lamb, an insult to all real cricket fans.”
“Hey, what do you mean by an insult to all fans?”
“Cool down! What I mean is you look and act too domesticated to be called a real cricket fan. You are still not that fire and brimstone material of cricket – The Ultimate Cricket Fan.”
“Ultimate cricket fan? Who is that?”
“An explosive beast that no one can tame.”

The Cricket Beasts - Thejendra Sreenivas
Acknowledgments
My first thanks go to Toni Morrison, a famous American author, and recipient of countless awards including the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, who first planted the incredible seeds of writing a book in my head. Even though I have never met her it was her amazing quote, "If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it," that inspired and motivated me to write articles and books nearly two decades ago.
My second thanks go to my family members, friends, neighbors, and relatives for helping me accomplish this literary feat by completely forgetting or ignoring me on countless weekends while I was pounding on my keyboard with wild ideas setting my head on fire.
My third thanks go to the various bits and pieces of enlightenment gained from dealing with countless people over the years, opening all the mental taps, personal and witnessed experiences, pleasant and nasty encounters, rational and irrational thoughts in solitude, wake-up calls, famous quotes, and most importantly those bizarre ideas being mysteriously pumped into my brain by a naughty higher power. So, a lot of earthly and cosmic folks have directly or indirectly contributed to the flow of thoughts presented in this and all my other books.
