IPL3: A Shameful Start

By Adwait at 31 January, 2010, 1:42 am

Who knew that in auction round of the third IPL season, the reigning world champion Pakistan, would have their players completely ignored? It was a moment of shock and disgust, when the hammer was hit after Shahid Afridi was announced, followed with a monotone, ‘Not Sold’, by the auctioneer. Surprising and equally shocking was the behaviour of the franchise owners at the third auction of the Indian Premier League.

Money is what Money does

Eureka! I found the fourth dimension of our Universe! And the fourth dimension is none other that our beloved MONEY! Physics tells us that we are trapped in a three dimensional universe which comprises time, space and causality. We live, breathe, eat, drink and smoke in the constraints of the above three factors. Though, metaphysically speaking, we have infinite dimensions in the Universe but our eyes are not adjusted (to their frequency) to see them. But one dimension that pervades all the physical dimension of our Universe is MONEY.

Making the difference - Part III

…And again, a continuation to the small environment chain written. Part one was about garbage, part two was about plastics and this is probably the last one in the series. This one aims at simple ideas or thoughts, which everyone should follow. To make a small personal difference to clean up the environment.

Plastics!

I want to write this as a continuation, to the garbage article I have written earlier. Again, my ‘environment crusader - alter ego’ probing me to write this one.
At the end of the little garbage story, I requested the readers to stop using polythene bags. Here’s why:

Garbage here, garbage there, garbage garbage everywhere!

What’s on my mind right now? Apart from the stupid knee injury, is that why is there so much garbage being disposed? The amount of garbage that the couple of yellow municipality bins in my area have is insane. They stink, have a number of stray dogs (nothing against the dogs, but they might get infected and as their best friends, we might too) and are overflowing with the garbage growing exponentially over the days. It is a disgusting sight. I’ve also been reading in the news papers recently that Devachi Urali had become a disaster of sorts due to improper management and lack of discipline by the civic bodies.
