Advantage Cricket India !!


As every team across the world. Team India is also preparing for world cup. As other teams selected their team for world cup, even India also announced their squad for World cup 2011 which is to be held in Subcontinent which would thrill most of the cricket fans across India.

The team for ICC World Cup 2011 would be as follows:
  • MS Dhoni (c)(w)
  • Sachin Tendulkar
  • Virender Sehwag
  • Gautam Gambhir
  • Yuvraj Singh
  • Suresh Raina
  • Virat Kohli
  • Yusuf Pathan
  • Zaheer Khan
  • Ashish Nehra
  • Munaf Patel
  • Praveen Kumar
  • Harbhajan Singh
  • R. Ashwin
  • Piyush Chawla
  • S Sreeshant
Thank god Sreeshant the great aggressive player from India is in world cup squad after Praveen Kumar is injured and getting his treatment in England. There were lots of controversies going on in selection process for World cup 2011. The selection committee headed by Kriss Srikanth who is a player from Tamil Nadu, will always create a buzz around him. Again he had made the same by picking 3 spinners in the squad.

What factor made Piyush Chawla to play the world cup when we have the great reliable players like Pragyan Ohuja, Ravindra Jadeja were in the queue. Ashish Nehera had the worst economies in the recent preiod of cricket. His average is just 2 wickets per match. Why was he chosen leaving Sreeshant and Vinay Kumar who impressed in their respective matches?

Even though all these controversies happening across BCCI and selection team India has got a little bit of advantage on their side.
Indian team is a team which they play unitedly and every player will contribute the team. We have the great giant player Sachin Tendulkar , who is playing his last world cup, his dreams to win a world cup for India and playing a great cricket.

India has advantage in playing in the home team. Dhoni's team is very good in doing home work, which made Indian team do well in Indian soil. Dhoni's team is very strong in home grounds. Since 2003 India failed to make to semifinals, hope they do well with greater advantages.
Inclusion of Yusuf Pathan, Virendra Sehwag is really a great asset which makes India a strong batting line up. We also see Bajji batting down the order with a great passion and commitment.

I feel still Australia is the strongest team who are defending champions, they have few players out of the team but still the bench strength is strong and content.
Indian team will have Indian crowd to cheer up and make them feel comfortable and win the matches for India.

India have proved that they are Number 2 team in past matches played in Subcontinents. There is nothing good or bad in selecting the team for the big match, But commitment dedication and more over coordination is more important within the players to play with the cricket giants. More over nothing matters when you go to the middle of the ground, the days play and the shots are more important to entertain the crowd.

VoIP Calling is the Future


logo_voip2

We have come across many types of communications by now. it was started with the trunk calling Then we could see faxing, then later comes that we shifted to PSTN calling, then as we had Optical fiber communications for faster communication. Later it came the cellular world where we were using GSM, CDMA. Now its the period of 3G, 4G etc. There is full scope for new future technologies. One among the technologies will be VoIP calling and VoIP phones.

VoIP is called as Voice Over Internet Protocol. It is a type of internet protocol where we it is purely voice based. VoIP made its first stepping stone when internet came into picture however 1995 was the year when VoIP was noticed by the maximum people. It has helped various business houses and individual into various ways like cutting costs, cheap communication, globalization and transparency. It is starting to replace PSTN networks in recent times. It is the system which transfers the voice input through various methods called signalling, digitalizing etc.

It is a protocol which is transfered through PSTN networks in a much lower cost. the main problem is that the calls can be hacked very easily. there is very less security in the network rather than ordinary PSTN networks. VoIP calls are very cheaper. The standard protocols used in VoIP will be H.264, H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) , Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Real Time Transport Protocol (RIP), Session Description Protocol (SDP).


Now it is the season for Smart Phones and Soft Phones. Here VoIP calling is used which makes it very cheaper. VoIP call is made from System ( computer ) to mobiles in a cheapest possible way. Both Video and audio are transmitted through PSTN networks. To make a call we need two systems one network and one VoIP phone. There is a special applications where we could support VoIP calls. Skype is one of the service provider for VoIP calls. For any VoIP Calls requires a broadband connection to the Internet (Land line, ADSL, etc.), Note that for one user to connect at speeds of 256 kbit/s for incoming flow, and 128 kbit/s for outgoing would be sufficient. If multiple users, the channel will expand. Hardware Requirements are not so rigid.

The recent service providers for VoIP calls will be Voiptalk, Skype, Myvoipprovider etc. The uses of VoIP call will be
1. Cheaper calls to any person in the world
2. Reach to every person faster and clear
3. Flexible with different broad bands
4. Integration with other services with internet is done
5. Not much complicated devices necessary
6. Video Conferencing can be done easily

We were speaking about cheaper call rates. the a Skype call the voip calls will cost only 2 cents per minute. It is best suited for long distance calls. two or more person can have conversation together. there is much information avaliable in the following that why we should use VoIP and why is the call rates cheaper and how to use VoIP calls in daily life by a common person.

This is a emerging technology in India. The technology is still backward in India where they are trying to implement this everywhere all over the world.

There are draw backs in this network
1. There is less security, can be hacked very easily.
2. The operability between PSTN and Internet is less
3. It is difficult to make emergency calls to the people
4. There is a up coming technology of Mobile number portability which affects VoIP calling

As the days progressing the technology also increasing day by day. VoIP is the main thing in the near future. There are still research going on to make it more secured and more easier for the people to use them. India is still emerging with 3G technology and long way to go for VoIP technology. So lets hope that we get a secured VoIP calling facility.

Running behind TRPs. !!!



Televisions now a days are thinking of TRP's ( Television Rating Points) , which is given for the attraction of people towards channel and which is the most preferred channel by the viewers. More advertising the programs will grab the viewers. Now a days its been too worst that all the channels are going for redundant programs which is not useful for viewers as well as harm people who are participating there. its not worth watching the program. All the top TRP rated channels are following the same which attracts the customers.

I don't believe that people only prefer reality shows are redundant shows will increase the TRP. I don't understand why these channels instead of educating people, they are simply concentrated on emotions which is really worst. What are these channels are going to prove finally by increasing channels. Where are the channels like Discovery Channel, Gyan Darshan, National Geographic? Now a days nobody watch these things. even a child know about what is happening in Big Boss. Finally what are we gaining from these programs. What is the reason in Watching them. Why are we watching them where they are neither concerned with our life? What is the education that people are gaining from that ? Please think of all these things once.

These are the channels according to their regional languages rated according to Trp ratings. These channels have many redundant programs which affect the mind of people.

Hindi:

1. Star Plus
2. Colors
3. Zee
4. NDTV Imagine
5. Star One

Kannada:

1. TV9
2. Suvarna
3. Udaya
4. Etv
5. Zee

Tamil:

1. Sun TV
2. Star Vijay
3. Kalangar
4. Jaya
5. Raj Tv

Telugu:

1. TV5
2. TV9
3. ETV
4. KTV
5. ABN

These channels do not provide information. Why are people so much interested in knowing others life which is been shown in the television. they are neither liked to your life, what is the use in watching them for 2-3 hrs every day. There was a time where every program was selected and then was approved for relay. Now a days just for name sake they will produce some program which is neither useful to them as well as the viewers. They wont check even for sensor things and they show them on the television where every small children watch them. Now a days every other day there will be a new program, new reality shows.

These is nothing to gain or lose. lets stop watching them from now, we can ask the channels to give something productive. there are numerous serials which is very big and long and its not ending even after 20years. there are many reality shows which they always make people cry. What are we suppose to do with the life style in Big Boss participants. They show off so much, Its really worst program I have ever come across. There are many programs in Kannada like Shh where they send girls to a goats place to search the treasure. Is that they are playing with the lives of the participants ?

So people its in your hands what are the type of programs which we can ask for. This really wont help any one and also society. We shall have fun in learning something not by watching some nonsense or some ones life and getting entertainment. Its not entertainment. I accept that few reality shows like Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa helps the people to show the talents, but other than that others are really redundant programs.

NICE Tolls Raised in Bangalore

Is it fair to increase the toll rates in Bangalore?



Bangalore is a Metro city. It was shocking news to hear that the rates are raised suddenly. was it really required to raise the toll rates ? I don't think so it was really required. This does not adds to the development of the government. There are many tolls in Bangalore so there is not require to raise the tolls immediately. this will affects the growth of the country. Inflation also raises to the peak. there is a raise in prices in everything in recent times. but the value of that is still the same. There are many ditches still under construction in few NICE roads which has to be repaired. There was no reason to raise the tolls suddenly and make the people burden.

As per the policy of the government, increasing the tolls is not only remedy to make more profits. Government should collect the tolls and the policy should be like that. As per the BOOT(Build Own Operate Transfer) policy of PPP this is not fair to transfer burden on the local people. and NICE roads is to travel for all common men in Bangalore not to travel only for rich people.

Let us make it accessible for every one. It is not good to put more charges and which intern helps in increasing Black money which really affects the growth of the country. I am still not satisfied with the Policy that they have come across. Instead of BOOT they could have used BOT where the rights to operate by the government than a private firm. We ask government to collect taxes and improve infrastructure not a private firm. So for any private firm there is no rights to ask more toll by a common people.

India is a poor country it cannot be compared with USA. where there is no government participation in any of the infrastructure. And it could be suitable there as the standard of living is high. But India is a poor country and still 50% of the departments are under government. the standard of living of the people is very low in our country. Per capita income of India is Rs. 44345 per year. But it is an average per year through out the country. Will a common man could afford if they raise the rates to 50% hike? Is it really fair enough to impose the fairs on a common man. Will government should have taken a different decision in accepting the offer?

Still there is a lot of questions to be asked. But finally it definitely affect the growth of Indian economy. So please people fight for this. if people come together then we could fight and stop this looting from a common man (AAM ADMI)
