I have been a long time fan of Sheila Dixit, ever since I spent an afternoon interviewing her for the Sunday Times. Since then I have met her on many occasions and never failed to be struck by her sensible low-key and urbane approach to politics. But I was slightly disappointed that she should take up cudgels for the IPL staging matches in Delhi.  At the best of times the forces that be cannot protect us, and with crucial elections being held-what chances are there? Lives are more important than cricket. Sheilaji must know that. Why this aberration in what has always been a seasoned politician’s unwavering good sense?
