First it was the duplicate dude Balvir Chand, now it’s the Litchi Man or Walking Indian Flag.
Meet Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary, the cricket-crazy fan who has the Indian flag painted on his body. With his entire torso, face and his head painted in the colours of the national flag with the words ‘Sachin Tendulkar’ boldly written over
Both of them want to extract favour from Sachin Tendulkar. However, with Litchi Man its a give and take relationship with Tendulkar. He supplies 1000 litchi every year to Scahin in lieu of the tickets for cricket matches he receives from Tendulkar. The man seems to be spreading the message of “litchi love” across the Indian team. Veeru and Dada have already been beneficiaries of Litchi Man’s benevolence and now Bhajji and Yuvi seem to be the next fortunate ones to get a dose of “litchi love”. Wonder what happens if Litchi Man gets tickets to India’s tour to England this summer. Maybe we just might see the whole Indian Team nibbling litchis while sitting in the Lord’s Pavilion.
However, just like Balvir Chand, referred here after as BC with no disrespect to anyone’s sister, Litchi Man is also worried about the shelf life of Tendulkar. BC has already seen the effects of complete reliance on Tendulkar on his livelihood and Litchi Man also seems petrified with the thoughts of his fun filled days getting over once Tendulkar retires. But unlike BC, Litchi Man is more smart and has already done a “patriotic striptease” in front of Sharad Pawar in order to get a lifetime guarantee of ticket for cricket matches. Alas! it was of no avail and the fear still lingers in the mind of Litchi Man.
