IPL and ICL - Do we need this?

Cricket is a crazy sports in India. Good and everybody needs one or more sports for time pass, passion, favorite hero's. Already Cricket draws some negative aspects since this sport is lengthy, time consuming, not promoting team work, based on individual performance, drains man powers etc. But a sport in any form required to guide youths to right direction so that they would not concentrate on other evil things such as drugs or gambling.

But now the creation of Indian Premier League(IPL) and Indian Cricket League(ICL) are overdose to already addicted Indian cricket fans. Because now itself the way we are watching cricket and spending time towards to cricket is more than enough.

This is utter copy of US based NBA or NFL franchise model. The money involves for this franchise from private party is huge and this money can spend for our infrastructure development or build some factories to give job opportunities for needy people. No body wants to spend money for non-profit business, but building factory or infrastructure development projects are now huge profit busiess in India. Why we are spending money towards already developed area?

If we know the answer, we could have somehow fixed this mess already.The issues with unable to fix current state of economy are, Very co...

Selfishness: A Psychological and Culture view

When I was young, i used to listen old stories from grandmother and a cousin of my grandfather. Most of the stories are from their flashbacks and their culture and some bad things happened in their generation. Many stories are how they suffered on the 1889 great Indian drought and followed by killer malaria, diarrhea. These two events created shock waves to their minds and the generation changed how they were before, they were lack of confidence about their next day’s food. They have to be very selfish to survive on those tough times. As per Indian culture, all the religious books and religious thoughts encouraged sharing and selfish less. But later on those sad events are main reason for selfishness. The main reason for India’s population growth is also selfishness, those olden times there were no advanced medicine available, so most of the kids dies less than their 1 year or with in hours of birth or before their teen age. Due to this that time Indians try to give more than 5-10 birt...

Google's Killer Application.

Already Microsoft getting heat from Google, that Google is capturing all critical functionalities from Microsoft office suite and developed online based Google Docs suite . From many of small business to individuals now using Google docs instead of expensive Microsoft office suite. Now Google released a "sharepoint killer application" named as Sites . It was just redesign of JotSpot wiki, which Google acquired some years back . I think that now Google can declare war against Microsoft office suite. Google has now all replacement products for Microsoft office. Actually now we are expecting a twist from Microsoft that they will release a online based mini office suite to fight against Google Apps.
