No more cricket grounds in Kudla left Alfie? All grabbed by land sharks of Kudla and miserable flats built? How about SAC ground where if you hit a six it falls on some one’s head on Karangalpady road?
With the rainy season over , the noise season resumes from where it left off – until the next rains begin.
One of these noise events is day-night cricket matches organized by politicians and people who have a lot of time to waste in their life and also make money out of it.
And with these day-night sports events come LS’s and noise the entire night. Typically all these noise and distractive events are conducted in such a way as to distract students who are working hard to secure their future by preparing for their oncoming exams and entrance tests. But who cares, anyway these people have done nothing in their life so they have no desire to allow anybody else to do anything and hence they disturb everyone in the neighbourhood.
so somewhere within Mangalore City limits, there is going to be day-night cricket matches and all over there will be more to come.
The entry fee is Rs 25K and the prizes are worth Rs 5 lakh.
So if cash prizes are worth Rs 5L then how much the organisers must be making?, as they are not doing this for charity (even if they claim so). Even charity events only donate the leftovers after deduction of profits.
The event is supposed to be sponsored by 2 business houses.
With the Karnataka elections round the corner, we do not have to think too hard who else is involved.
Besides the noise part, I simply cannot understand what is this fascination of people to play under artificial lighting at night when we are already facing power cuts and load-shedding.
