A day after PCB smacked a 5 year ban on Shoaib Akthar today the IPL chairman Lalit Modi made it clear that Shoaib will not feature in any of the IPL matches till the PCB clears him on charges. The great loser by this IPL decision will be SRK, owner of Kolkata Knight Riders and Ganguly, the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders. SRK, owner of KKR bought Shoaib in auction for Rs. 1.82 crore. Anyhow, they have Ishant Sharma on their side to tighten the bowling side of the team. It is also a great disappointment for cricket lovers missing Shoaib Akthar in IPL.

AIHT( Anand Institute of Higher Technology ), is declared as the ECO Friendly campus similar to IIT( Indian Institute of Higher Technology ) by AIHTians, just for fun. In AIHT, they don’t allow any polluting vehicles inside the campus. Even for the construction and shifting process they use only bullock cart, popularly called as Mattu Vandi in Tamil Nadu.
See to the proof ::
From the very beginning, the Kuruvi team was maintaining the complete silent over the movie. The movie launch function went very calmly, not even press was engaged to the function. Finally, today the movie posters are out in Tamil and English dailies. Really, it is a great treat to the much awaited Vijay fans.
Sun Network launched Sun Direct, DTH service, few months ago which resulted in agitation from local cable operators from all over Tamil Nadu. Doing with this matter, Tamil Nadu Government promised to launch Arasu Cable vision. Government officials reported that cable connections all over tamil nadu will be undertaken by government itself by acting as a MSO(Multi system operator). But now Central government delays to take give a license to ACV, making it to act as a MSO and so ACV has already post-ponded for another three months. In the mean time, it is said that if ACV fails to get the status as MSO then the government will support Hathway by giving the tender to them, allowing to continue their service all over Chennai. In present, Hathway has only 10% of the chennai cable tv customers while remaining 90% of the traffic is controlled by Sun network owned SCV(Sumangali Cable Vision).
Offer[Fraud] Game :
Few days back SCV started to distribute their STBs(Set top box) at a price of Rs. 500 + Rs. 400 for smart card. In the mean time, Hathway started to distribute their STB at a free of cost including smart card and charging Rs. 100 + Rs. 5 per pay channels as a monthly charges. In reply to this now SCV also started to distribute the STBs for free of cost. Fraud game starts now, SCV ads are not clear to the customers like Hathway ad. Customers rushed to the local cable operators and realized later that SCV STBs is not free of cost that they are demanding Rs. 400 as a deposit amount, which is refundable(warning : Don’t get scammed!!!). This game was started in the middle of the last year between DMK and Maran brothers, and it continues still in various directions in various means. Anyhow, I hereby request the people of Tamil Nadu to be very careful regarding these cable issue, don’t be in hurry while getting STBs. If your area doesn’t have an Hathway distribution, don’t get disappointed, sources say that they are expanding they’re network, Hathway might reach your area anytime. Most of the cable operators are ready to switch to Hathway from SCV(SCAM Cable Vision). In present Hathway is available to areas like Velachery, K.K.Nagar, etc., and the official sources from Hathway said that it would reach Kodambakkam, Vadapalani, Saligramam and Virugambakkam within a month of time. In the mean time Tata SKY, dth service provider, has slashed their rates pricing at Rs. 2500 including installation charges. I’m repeating, don’t be in hurry while selecting between the service.
