Idiot box mania...

A couple of decades ago, it was only either DD1 or DD2.With the advent of Cable and Direct to home services,nowadays there are umpteen number of channels to choose from.Most of us prefer to sit at home and watch TV whenever we are free.Some of us like to dine, sleep and die(!) in front of it.I am no exception, but when my 15 month old stares at the not -tobe- seenby-children scenes, i get really panicky! Sex and Violence which were once properties of the silver screen are now available in our living room 24X7!We set very bad examples for our kids who look upon us as their role models.Hence i am trying to cut down the number of hours in front of the TV.

The first IPL season is getting over tomorrow!!

Its been a very long time since i watched cricket with so much enthusiasm and excitement.I used to be crazy about the game during my school days. Priorities change as you grow...slowly the interest faded away.Thanks to IPLT20...My passion for the game has been refurbished!The T20 version of cricket is more fast paced and more entertaining compared to the ODI format. One does not have to sit in front of the TV for the whole day. It is only about half the time but double the thrill!! I am so delighted to see some of the best players in the world playing alongside the best young Indian talent in the IPL matches. It is really thrilling to watch an Aussie playing against another Aussie,a Pakistani playing against another Pakistani, that too on Indian Soil!I am sure the next season is going to be more exciting!!
