The kind of money, entertainment, and lessons generated by the merger or standalone of bollywood, cricket and Industrialist, both national and international, is by itself a great proof that medical, engineeing, business, finance or economics are no more the choicest subject students like to study. There are more profitable subjects like cricketonomics, sports or arts like acting, dancing, singing, quizzing….
Today Sachin Tendulkar is not the only Little Master of India. It was a matter of great pride to see Poornasree (Chippy), a little nightingale, who has not even reached her teens, winning a diamond necklace worth Rs. Five Lakhs. How happy her mother Sreekala cheechi and family would be!! Long cherished dream come true, and door of opportunity opened. Samba like dance performed by youngsters, threw a ray of hope that may be one day, Indians too may perform gymnastic. There are so many unknown/Unpopular talents brought to light...
Events like IPL, fearing which even many movie releases has been postponed, ICL, Reality shows, indeed is a platform, most welcome, in a country which has a population of one billion and only one cricket team till now, and few highly paid talents. There are so many young talents that need to be discovered. Realty shows have taken some interest away of people from the Sas bahu serials, which often tend to corrupt the minds, at times, the competition especially the elimination tend to sadden the minds of the participants, creating fights. But it was well managed in the latest Little Master, which was mind blowing. TV is no more doordarshan, you have cartoon-animation, geography-travell, history, sports, pogos, whole lot of newspapers and channels, opening up opportunities for Journalist.
With people like Sania Mirza, Vishwanathan Anand, Jeev Milkha Singh, Jyoti Randhawa, Narain Kartikeyan, who are not far behind their counterparts in cricket, though it is true that right now, no other sport can match the popularity of cricket in India. Other sports like football, golf, tennis, etc. have a future, but it is a long way from now. Hope to have IPL like support, coordination and encouragement in other sports and game activity.
Will we see a decentralized sports (not only cricket) activity in India with a decentralized public attention to match, pooling in all the states? Will we ever top the medal list in Olympics?
Sectors of the economy like travel and tourism, insurance,medical, engineering, finance, small vendors and hawkers, stadiums and yes indeed public relations and management opportunities have creeped in all these areas.
Every coin has two sides. Too much of anything is bad. Opportunities unlimited with negative ideas too…..Want to fulfil ambition and cannot, be a fake swami, there is increase in religious faith among people, Crime and therefore law makers and controllers have increased. Negative ideas would never bring overall prosperity but hatred unrest and commotion. Also one cannot fool all the people at all the times. Can a father who is a dental doctor (Rajesh Talwar) kill his own daughter (Arushi Talwar)? What would a mother ( Nupur Talwar) undergo? Incredible, Unbelivable!!
Owners, money involved and the winners of the reality shows and the ongoing hit IPL, or the death have proved that it is not always Plutocracy, or fame that wins, we cannot and should not underestimate any one (Shane Warne/Rajasthan Royals). Opportunity do not come knocking at your door always, and if it is there one need to use it. First and foremost we need to have life to leave, and also needed is peace… Be positive..Well begun is not always half done, and all is well that ends well. Self Control is very important. Uncertainty is certain.

That Shahrukh is a charmer, no one denies, but the best part about the man perhaps is that he manages to say just the right things in just the right way, without saying too much.
Amidst his team's dismal performance in the DLF IPL and the reports of a rift in the camp, SRK sent an SMS to his Knights on Wednesday, which was inspirational and commanding at the same time.
King Khan's SMS:
"Story time boys... I told you if you keep losing you have to bear with my long, boring msgs.... This is your punishment.... Many times I have made movies which don't do well.... When I'm doing them, of course, I don't know they won't do well.... The story is written by somebody else and I just do my bit as an actor. But I have a way of dealing with flop stories, I try my best to keep my character in the film at a level that it makes a failed story also special for me....
I enjoy the work.... I make jokes about the failure.... And, of course, feel awful about it too.... So, right now, all of us have become part of a failed script... A bad IPL script.... Let's try and keep our characters worthy of still looking back at this story and remembering it as a special story becos we all worked very hard at this....
So, chin up and don't spoil yr character in the next two games.... Let's go out with a bang and not a whimper.... In films, we say u r only as good as yr last film.... So let's make the whole world know how good we r in the last (maybe not) two games...
Also, do ignore all this bit about Dada, me and John having issues.... It's a normal thing in the world.... People like to hit you when u r down.... So, we will be hit.... No stress.... It will make us stronger.... The only way to avoid this is to win.... That's one of the reasons why everybody likes to be a winner....
On the other hand, the beauty of failure is that it brings people together.... So, let's stick this out together.... You know me well enuff to know I am not the kind of owner who has issues with the team 'cos of losses... I am too much of a sport myself to get beaten by defeats.... Like you guys are.... Like Dada and John....
I am still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of me at the matches of the IPL.... ICC... etc.... After I understand it, I will decide whether to accept it or not.... Till such time, I will be with you guys at the hotel... in the meetings etc., but won't come for the matches.... So, please don't ever feel it is anything to do with us as a team....
I am as dedicated to my Knights as I am to my kids.... Only, I won't be coming to the class room till the headmaster's rules are understood by me.... I am a bit anti-establishment kind of a guy, so I apologise for this quirk to u all.... So, head's up.... Have a good match and let's make 200 runs tomorrow.... This 150 seems to not work any more."
