Cricket used to be a spectator’s sport. Back in the 20s, 30s.. 80s perhaps? All of that has diminished today. I live, say about 12 kilometers from the test match/one day venue in Mumbai. Its about 5 kilometers to the new DY Patil Stadium. In all these twenty seven years of my life, I have witnessed only two one day games, both at the CCI, one of them being the finals of the BSI World Master’s series. I guess that doesn’t count as a one day international. During this time, there have been fabulous one day and test matches at the Wankhede Stadium and the Cricket Club of India. But I never considered going for any of them, it is important to note that I watch every single ball of world cricket live on TV.. be it one day internationals or test cricket. I prefer test cricket. So why, just why have I never scooted to the grounds to watch a game from the stands? Keep in mind, it is very easy for me to obtain VIP passes. But I haven’t bothered. Cricket is no longer a spectator sport. I am not allowed to carry sandwiches, refreshments or my camera.. security hazards they say! The stands are bad, uncomfortable seats, very often, the shades aren’t enough to protect people from the beaming sun. Water is available in plastic packets, the man selling these packets shows up once every three hours or so! He also sells sandwiches and chips. Water, sandwiches, chips, all overpriced.
But through out the 90s, I watched live cricket played in South Africa, the West Indies, Australia and England in complete awe. Barbecues, beer, sunbathing.. pretty women. WOW! But now the ICC, or is it the local authorities.. they’ve cut off all the fun with the aim of adding that extra to their kitty, haven’t they? They don’t let you get your own refreshments, cameras.. they sell just this brand of beer.. one of their sponsors.. commercialisation of the game, players bought, the cricket boards bought, players who do not perform retained in the team because their sponsors have paid them a lot of money. The BCCI, well, comprising of people who don’t give a damn about the game of cricket.. using their financial power to influence the governing body? There have been a few instances of late, they’ve been restricting the media, well, stock photography agencies in particular, they’re now allowed to sell photos of cricket matches organised by the BCCI to other websites/magazines. This spells the end of the spectator in cricket. It is now all about money, in every possible way, all that extra money for the national board and governing body.
Within a month of its announcement, the Indian Cricket League or ICL was rejected by the Board of Control for Cricket in India or BCCI. I support the ICL and any such league that springs up anywhere in the world, be it from a test playing nation or not. A few billion people live in India. To say that cricket is a religion, is an understatement.. thinking about it, the statement itself is very cliche. But nevertheless, kids dream of representing India in cricket. They compromise on their study time, put in all that time at the nets. There is little or no money paid to cricketers who do not make it to the national team. Until recently, domestic cricketers were hugely underpaid. But today, we have the ICL, IPL, T20 cricket. The ICL in its small way has created an opportunity for cricketers to play competitive cricket and even represent their country, although unrecognised at this point in time.
I hope the ICL makes cricket a spectator sport once again. Allow sandwiches and cameras to be brought into the ground.. kids could snap a few pictures, go home and blog about their fantastic experience that evening. Until say a couple of weeks ago, the ICL was always very dull due to the lack of high scoring matches or electrifying individual performances. Commentators argued that the pitches were good. But no high scores. Yet, I continued to follow the games with the confidence that things will pick up. We’ve now had the first century of the league and since, we’ve had some high scoring games and good individual performances. As the ICL continues to grow, more nations join in.. I think they can add an ICL New Zeland today, South Africa isn’t too far behind. So as the ICL continues to grow, well, I hope they consider having test matches soon, and through all of this, I hope they don’t forget about the spectator. They can, actually can get the spectator back to the cricket ground.

Chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth lauded the century scored by Sourav Ganguly at Mohali against the Australians and asked the southpaw to come up with more hundreds in his last series so that he goes out on a high.
Speaking with the media persons, Srikkanth said, “I am very happy Ganguly is doing so well. He still has two more matches to go.”
“I will be very happy if he gets centuries in the next two matches and goes out on a big high,” added Srikkanth.
Ganguly scored a fine 102 in the first innings in Mohali. This was his 16th hundred overall and just his second against Australia in 22 Tests.
Commenting over the record 320 run margin win over Aussies at Mohali, an elated Srikkanth said, “They played like the Australians –aggressive cricket — from the first day in Mohali.”

After exploring the rich historical surrounds of the Philippines , it is only natural to unwind by delving into the local nightlife. The natural charm and surrounds of the Philippines allows you the total escape package which is complimented by the daily wind down phase of visiting the unique night time offerings. This is the place where you can dance the night away, lounge in comfort driven lounge bars or indulge in feasts fit for a king. The nightlife starts late and ends even later so you can be assured of finding the night time activity which will meet your every need.
Being a country which embraces contemporary advances and historical charm, you will find a wide selection of nightlife establishments both old and new. Most travellers find that the older style bars and clubs in the out skirts of the major areas provide not only a fine drinking location but also one where you can satisfy your hunger with ‘pulutan’ also known as bar chow. Pulutan is similar to tapas and ensures that you stay well nourished for your night of activity and fun. It is customary for bars and clubs to provide free meals to its patrons as the culturally rich customs which don’t condone drinking on an empty stomach. This is one country where you will receive free grilled meats, vegetables and nuts for simply purchasing a drink from the bar.
The Philippines is an extremely cheap place to visit and you can expect that all of your nightlife adventures will be well below what you would expect to pay back at home. Theatres and cinema’s are not dominant in the Philippine nightlife but with the low cost of food, alcohol and entertainment it is not necessary. The local population who also visit the night life spots are the ones that will make your journey complete. The Philippines offers you the opportunity to indulge in the historical sights during the days and learn the unique culture from the locals at night.
After leaving, you will not think of nightlife in this country as a visit to the Opera. You will be left of memories of spending time with the locals, learning their customs, talking over a few drinks and enjoying the fine local cuisine that is part of the entertainment scene. The Philippines is unique in its ability to make your stay about the person, and the local memories it provides you with.

If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a bit of a modern day James Bond, but with more responsibilities, you can now at least play secret agent via your computer in the form of Sony’s new Vaio Bond Z Series special edition laptop. International espionage never looked so sexy.
Sony has packed some impressive components under its hood, so even Q would approve. Despite weighing just 1.5Kg it packs a proper 2.5GHz Intel processor and oodles of RAM. Sony’s even managed to somehow squeeze a Blu-ray drive in there and a massive 128GB of shockproof solid state storage.
Top talents
Bond approved
Yes, it may be a bit of a cheap marketing trick. But there’s nothing cooler than using the same laptop as James Bond.
Super spec
This little laptop offers features that would make machines twice its size jealous.
Blu-ray onboard
If you’re looking for the ultimate portable entertainment station, this is the killer travel companion.
Coming out: November

Do you believe in Life after death?
Believing in some kind of life after death has been a given for most of my life. Occasionally I've wondered about it, but it's never kept me awake nights. Until now.
So, my thinking goes something like this:
I believe in life after death because that's what the Bible teaches. But, does the Bible really teach that? And what if the Bible isn't meant to be read or interpreted in the way that I've always read and interpreted it? What if it's all an elaborate fiction?
What if when I die, what I've accomplished on earth constitutes the entire sum of my existence? So, I'd better live ambitiously. I'd better live well.
What if I die before I've finished living?
So, that's what I've been thinking about lately. It's what I asked an old friend in a dream last night. I can't remember the answer that was given, presumably it was something brilliant ;-).
And so now, I'm asking YOU. Why do you believe in an after-life? How can I have any real confidence in an experience that cant' be tested or observed? How can I Know-with-a-capital-K?

TorrentFreak: When did you start ripping / uploading DVDrips?
aXXo: When I was about 15 or 16 I got into backing up my old DVD’s. History from there.
TorrentFreak: What motivates you to share these movies?
aXXo: Why not? If I see a great film I believe everyone has the right to be entertained by it.
TorrentFreak: Don’t you think that ripping and uploading these (copyrighted) movies is wrong?
aXXo: No not really. It was just for me and some mates at first.
TorrentFreak: Are you alone in this, Or do you get help from others?
aXXo: No help, It’s all me.
TorrentFreak: You seem to prefer 700MB rips, and not higher quality ones, why is this?
aXXo: Very little (if any) Loss of quality, and will fit on a Single Music CD.
TorrentFreak: On which torrent sites do you release this movies, and why not just on one?
aXXo: There are quite a few I release to. Many people prefer one site over the rest, and I want to spread these as much as possible.
TorrentFreak: What do you think of sites that (mis)use your name, like axxotorrents.com?
aXXo: This is a touchy subject. I have nothing against any of them, it was a complete misunderstanding and the issue has been cleared up. They are reliable, And I have checked every torrent on there thus far to be real.
TorrentFreak: How can people tell if the torrent is not a scam, or a fake torrent?
aXXo: If it’s a RAR archive, It’s not mine. My rips will contain 2 or 3 files. One info and one .avi files. On occasion a .txt file but that will stop.
TorrentFreak: Where do you get the movies, and do you use scene releases as well?
aXXo: …
TorrentFreak: Do you think that distributing these (copyrighted) movies is morally wrong? That is, do you consider sharing shows to be the same as stealing?
aXXo: Thank god in this country we don’t believe in copyright infringement. It’s just sharing entertainment, nothing more.
TorrentFreak: Okay, perhaps this one is easier to answer. What is your favorite BitTorrent site?
aXXo: I don’t have one. Darksiderg.com is where my original releases are, But I release to many. Superfundo, Demonoid, MiniNova, The Pirate Bay.
TorrentFreak: Anything you want to add to this?
aXXo: Upload what you’ve downloaded, and then some.
TorrentFreak: Thanks!
aXXo: You’re welcome.
For people who want to try his movie, just check out any torrent site for axxo. You would see all those long movies rip'd to 700 MB ! What a wonder? !
