New face of Indian Cricket

India never lacked cricket fans. The support for this game is so evident that cricket is considered another religion in India. People can chat long on numerous subject matters related to this game be it a particular match, a favorite cricket player or the history of game. Evidently the support for this game has no limits. Incidents have been reported where a fan died out of heart attack while India was losing, people have argued over minor points related to a match and the argument resulting in bitter fight. People taking sick off the day an exciting match is scheduled is not uncommon. Streets are found deserted and office productivity slumps during such matches. One can go on and on with this 'madness' which is often equated with support for this game.
No wonder that because of such huge fan following BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is the richest cricket board in the world. But does it stop here. The BCCI's initiative to start IPL (Indian Premier League ) in order to cash in on the huge fan following is applaud able.
Although the credit to come up with an idea of a cricket league could not be attributed to BCCI, as their action was in response to formation of ICL (Indian Cricket League) which came up with the idea of a cricket league. BCCI has till date not given official status to ICL and as soon as the proposal for ICL backed up by the Essar group was launched BCCI came into action and in great hurry came up with the idea of IPL. Its been some time now for the Essar backed ICL on the scenes but they clearly lack a star studded crowd to boast of. ICL has about 5 internation star players compared to about 50 in IPL. One could safely argue now that given the difference in start quality of players and the backing of IPL by major industrialists and film stars, the
popularity of IPL has long overshoot that of ICL, and its just been a week for IPL now.
With money flowing in this game and opportunity for home grown talent to showcase their potential the future for Cricket in India looks ever more promising.

Astrology - Insightful tool

Astrology - not an exact science but tell you so much about yourself that I was simpley amazed. All it requires is a good listener with open mind. So much to listen too, so why not everyone uses it to their advantage. Its a paradox though as according to astrology itself some people will never be interested in listening :).
