Upcoming general summer elections coincided with IPL 2 dates as a result of which it had to be shifted outside india this year. there have been lots of talks of it to be reaching even more audience as its gng to held in south africa. i would not defend the notion since i believe it wud be not as popular as it was last year. here are reasons for my belief:
1. its not gng to held in india:
more than 70% of the viewership came from indian audience last year. timings were only after 7 pm to accommodate huge working class in india. they were so very right!
After long day in the office ppl did watched shorter version of cricket instead of boring saas-bahu serials. considering south africa is approximately 3 hours behind indian standard time, very subtle ardent cricket fans wud stay up late at night to watch competitions. this would nearly lose half of its viewership.
2. unfavorable conditions round the world
with financial turmoil around the world, crisis in south east and overall bad bad conditions will definitely affect its viewership as compared to last year.
i remember one of my fellow colleague getting IPL package from internet for $50 last year. this year even though his job is secured, he is not getting the viewership package. So this is one case, i am sure round the globe situation is same and till the time its is not stable, viewership is gng to remain poor.
3. over- money deals to players
With english players playing IPL 2, kevin peterson as well as flintoff were offered more than $1 million to play 40 days of cricket. Flintoff has already heard some criticism for not playing last 2 test matches against west indies bcz he wanted to remain fit for IPL. Similarly most of the players seeing the amount of money are more eagr to play IPL than with national team. immediate outcome of this wud be very bad. ICC(international cricket council) will take strict steps against this and might be players to play IPl will be banned to play for their national teams as we have seen in past players playing ICL were banned. Money drives everything! It can even wipe and probably IPL is so cash riched..it will be wiped.
I can think of other reasons like less celebrity attention as compared to last year and many of the indian touch would be lost which can further lower indian viewership.

sent him back and Dravid was run out in the third test against the West

Response to Idiotic comments by Dr. Zakir's video
I encourage to see this video first before reading my comments
All the counter arguments given my mr. speaker are baseless. Based on senses all living beings can be divided into 5 categories:
1. living beings with sense of touch: e.g water,fire,air,plants
2. beings with sense of touch (body) and tongue:e. g worms,shell,earthworms
3. beings with sense of touch,taste and smell:e.g ants,lice
4. beings with sense of touch,taste,smell and vision:e.g bees,mosquitoes,scorpio
5. being with sense of touch,taste,smell,vision and ears:e.g humans,dogs etc
If a person is born with a dis ability i. e if he is duff and dumb or blind he still has sense of feeling the pain and has to live his entire life without those organs to suffer more. Now if someone says i will cut your third hand, you will laugh on him since the organ which you dont have will cause you no pain. Similarly plants are devoid of those organs that animals are gifted by born.
In any religion definition of sin is how more trouble you give you cause more sin. Since in eating plants you are giving them less trouble sin attached with it is less. Now even if you are guilty to kill the plan that you have eaten, ask for forgiveness before or after you eat. I suppose you understand the spiritual connection associated in remembering your god before or after you eat.
Your suggestions are whole heartedly welcomed!

Most stupid theory about population explosion..
this might seem lame,but that's my theory about, why did india's population exploded from 25 crore to 100 crore within the time frame of 50 years from 1947-1997.
So ever imagined what did ppl do after having dinner?there were no televisions, fewer had radio and practically for most part there was no electricity either! Now here comes the lamest part of my theory: Population exploded bcz bcz bcz: there was no source of entertainment...hehe..u know after dinner and long day..with no electricity,candle light dinner, things gets romantic..its very difficult for someone to resist such kind of ambience..hehe.
now people have more activities to do: go for long drive, television, sports etc etc..
i can gurantee..if more innovations are done..next 50-60 yrs..we can decrease world population..so engineers,scientist plz dont stop your work..Carry on!
hehe

Happy birthday mahaveer swami!
Today we celebrate 2609th birth year of Shree Vardhmaan Mahaveer. It is very difficult to quote in words to express gratitude,solitude to him, to teach principles of Non-violence(Ahimsa), truthfulness(Satya) and Brahmachari. In today's world we see all around people have started feeling hatred amonst each other, fighting for food,land ,fuel and money. Only source of inspiration are his words which he taught this world before 2600 years. On this auspicious days i thank him from bottom of my heart to show millions of soul ,road of truthfulness which he learnt after 12 years of rigorous meditation and tap.
As hes called ," Purshottam(best among all men) Mahavir", i bow him with respect
Jai Jinendra
Jai Mahaveer
