What does culture mean? We have so many words to explain culture and evidently those differ from country to country. But there are something in common, like art and literature, songs and dances, etc which need to be exchanged among the countries. They are plain and simple and hardly in disguise. As regards entertainment in very many forms often raise a question of disappointment. Excuse me; here is our IPL to evoke disregard.

Our Hon’ble Home Minister has rightly affirmed that IPL is more an entertainment than a game of cricket. It is a highly profitable business based on cricket. And we can have it at any cost, can’t we? All this adds to business and only business. Somehow earn money and be enriched materially. How far does all such attempt add to elevate human values, please?

Look here, in India and in most of the countries now-a-days drugs are extensively used. Drug addicted young generation has no backbone. Again there are such medicines which boost greatly sexual appetite to make young life more and more enjoyable at the cost of health. Once abortion has now been stimulated by killing female babies. Basically, there is nothing but business. Of course politics is an essential feed.

At present the entire world is sex oriented and that is being backed by the corporate world. Money plays a vital role and we are apt to think that it has to be earned, right or wrong, in some way or the other. Every society gains or suffers is, indeed, a point of debate. In general we are faced with problems and we try heart and soul to find for each a sensible solution which would make us realize that the snake is dead but the stick remains strong enough for the next use.

We may cry for balance with a thoughtful mind but it is hardly to be restored since our passion, as a whole, has nothing to do with. The disintegration of every society is to face the dire consequences. The question is who is to bell the cat. Lately, in between the conflicting ideas of our Home Ministry and BCCI, IPL is no more a serious concern. We may support either view but somewhere we are to draw the conclusion. And it has been neatly drawn.

South Africa was confirmed as host of the second edition of the Indian Premier League. – Oh! What great news! “We are very happy to confirm that South Africa will host the 2009 DLF Indian Premier League tournament,”—said IPL Chairman Lalit Modi. Encore! Cricket South Africa chief executive Gerald Majola. BCCI should ever be grateful to both South Africa and England for their generosity. The victory has been achieved and we are to enhance the spirit of IPL not just as Indian Premier League but, as today’s Ananda Bazar Patrika mentioned in the editorial page, Indian Political League. It’s all in a mess. Let us wait for such an issue nest year to justify our whims rational.
