The IPL
by Sameer Bhagwat on Apr 22, 2008 01:03 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

The purpose of the IPL is purely to provide entertainment. You can chose to hate or love the game but one thing's for sure..you cannot ignore this event. I believe we need to look at the positives of the event. Look at the way the stadiums have been repaired at break neck speed. It shows that the work can be done if sought out and directed well. Look at the revenue generated and employment it provides to people (cheerleaders included). The game can get better if the organisers look to pump part of the income to improving facilities for sport as a whole. They can also look at matches for a noble cause (AIDS, cancer, etc..) A part of the ticket fee can be used for this purpose.

PS: Indians don't care about noble causes though yours is a noble idea.

Yeah, if every Indian starts thinking like you, then India would soon be a developed country...

But unfortunately thats not the case.. Now tomorrow if you (Sameer) own an IPL team, will you as you say? I doubt... :)

Well...quite simple...I'll have a mission statement for the IPL team. if you think of it, donating money is the easiest of all jobs. Working at the grass root level is the toughest. I know cause I work for social causes at the grass root level.
