IPL Parties Dark side ???

My problem with the IPL Nites parties was not that I was forced to attend by any contractual obligation. There was no such thing for me, or, to my knowledge, for any of my fellow India players.

Each party was invariably the same routine. You would have a set-up with a ramp show that lasted 30 to 45 minutes, then the models would come off and mix with the rest and the party would take off.

There were cheerleaders and girls who we called 'escort service'. Beautiful women to add glamour to the mix, get the party moving. They were not allowed to talk to any player for more than five minutes. If they did, a manager would walk up and slickly move her away.

ATM type machine which montior gold data and offers gold coins

Its a brain child of a German entrepreneur, Thomas Geissler, who began testing the cash-for-gold machines in his native country in 2009.

The Abu Dhabi debut on Wednesday is billed as the first international foray for Geissler's "Gold to Go" brand.

The ATM-style kiosk in the Emirates Palace monitors the daily gold price and offers small bars up to 10 grams or coins with customized designs.

The unveiling was timed well. Gold hit a record high Wednesday of more than $1,245 an ounce.

Abu Dhabi was chose because of its high-rolling atmosphere and the region's traditional ties to gold in commerce, says Geissler.
