TIME IS MONEY & MORE MONEY IS IPL.

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.

“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”.
