IPL is more money is a proven fact.
As IPL goes to season 4, advertisers make merry.
Read below what Rohit Gupta President of Multi screen Media (MSM) had to say.
“We have had about a 20-25 per cent growth in ad rates since last year. This year, our pricing for sponsors was about Rs 5 lakh for 10 seconds. For spot buyers, our rates stood at Rs 5.5 lakh per 10 seconds, which we have now increased to Rs 6 lakh. In terms of viewership, in season one, IPL touched 100 million people, rose to 121 million in season two and last year, it rose to 143 million people. We expect this growth to continue, and so will the ad rates.”
He also further states that "World Cup has not overshadowed IPL even a bit".Moreover, he says for advertisers IPL is a safer bet that WC.
I’m not against IPL, but when we rig money through IPL, we should try to channelize it to the other areas so a fairer economic & social development happens.It should not be yet another institution of "RICH BECOMING MORE RICH & POOR BECOMING MORE POOR"
If IPL is the biggest money minting machine in India, why can’t we think of clubbing the profit of IPL with NREGA workers wage?
Or likewise schemes, so that it’s a win-win situation for all. The popularity of the game enhances and also social & economic development of the people.

MY PREDICTION
"I feel it was a real Champions League match with all the difficulties involved in that. I'm hopeful of course, everything is open. Lyon are a good team, they have good players, a good coach. But it's 1-1 and we play at home."
This is what Morinho said after the championship match against Lyon.
Result: 1-1 at Stade Gerland.
Morinho looks unlikely composed and rather confident inwardly, and the last sentence of morinho’s statement asserts this (“But it's 1-1 and we play at home”).
But I think otherwise.
Real Madrid will lose to Lyon at home. And will end “MORINHO’s HOME RUN.”
Arsenal will defeat Barcelona.
Champion’s league winners this time would be “CHELSEA”.
I see EPL won by ARSENAL.

“K-INDI COMMANDOS”
I Freaked out, when one of my friend told me that Kochi IPL team has announced its name.
My curiosity shattered all psychic boundaries & an unknown wild adrenaline rushed through my veins as I ran a search on my Computer.
To my utter disappointment I saw it. Dull, Spiritless, Soul-less,Amorphous team name ever made. It was something more than BIZZARE!.
“INDI COMMANDOS”, WHAT! Absolutely, “depressing name” in the highest sense of the phrase.
I wanted to thrash that mentally aberrated brain , which came up with this.
With despair, I sat down on my chair, in my cubicle.
When the team’s official website ran a name finding contest, I was delighted.
I had even sent them 40 different names, like a insane cricket fan from kochi, but I was shattered to see this "YUCKY"name.
Furthermore, It brings inexplicable pain to all my senses, when I picturise myself, cheering for, my Kochi team with this “moronic name”.
They could have come up with a name in which atleast “kochi” is mentioned.
Moreover, whenever I read “INDI” a whole lot of Rhyming Malayalam Abusive words runs through my mind.
And, I’m sure all these would fill the ground as “Kochi “begins its home match. WATCH OUT SREESHANTH.“ALLIYA NINTE KAARYAM POKKAA”.

240 calling to 239
My mobile phone was ringing.
I moved away the papers on my desk to find my phone.
I answered it, with a little displeasure as I was having a tough time at office.
“Hello, who is it?”
“Hey, it is 240/04 calling 239/04” said the voice at the other end.
Flabbergasted & was struggling to comprehend.
Though in few seconds I made sense of these numbers. 239 was my college roll no and 240- Ginn’s.
I was delighted to hear to him after a long time.
He was in Hissar site. And before he was send to Arunachal, for our Hydro project.
And now he had come down to Noida( our corporate office) to put down his papers.
With utmost curiosity I asked him “saala you got some other job or what”??
He retorted “yes, BHEL”. My joy knew no bounds now. I solemnly congratulated him.
He informed me, he would complete his formalities of resigning by evening and would meet me thereafter.
I said “definitely”. Would call Ankit & Apoorv also.
He agreed and kept the call. It’s been almost 3 years that I have seen him.
He not only had my adjacent role number but also was my neighbor at hostel 5B in BIT mesra.
We had some wonderful time there.
For sometime I forgot all things around me as all good memories of college days rushed through my mind.

Myth :
Pay Rs 10 to Mahto-lab assistant, he would do the DARK ROOM experiment (during practical exam)for you , & help you through.
REALITY:
He did not accept the money and I submitted a blank sheet , with only my name written (also I failed to observe some concentric RINGS on the lame apparatus....)
The "lambu- Bengali- Thrashed me", Jairath sir saved me with viva. I have enormous repect for him, so I can’t pen down indecent proposition about him (if at all any) or about his beautiful daughter. So putting it decently, PJ his daughter had high calorific value and was highly combustible.
Canteen, most happening place during Bitostav . We were 2k4.. malayali guys ..were mostly seen together...
"Oh Bhai ether ka cycle stand kither hai"- Jaison -junior (high on codes)
Everything looked as if it just happened yesterday.
Not digressing coming back..to Ginn.
Now, it’s great to know that he is out of Reliance & more importantly got into BHEL.
His life is settled and I thought now he should get married.
In the evening, he complied to my thought. Infact he was eager to get married.
We had a long talk, he told all about his experience in Reliance (mostly sad), but like the same Ginn i knew he laughed at all those sad incidents. He told me how he had stumbled upon BHEL exam and got through. I found tremendous happiness in his success.
And as I bid adieu to him, I said” hey 240/04 take care and 239/04 wishes you all the very best”.
See you dude when I see you.
