Cricket World Cup 2011, Free Live Streaming Link
Got this link for Cricket World Cup 2011 live stream from a facebook friend. Its on espnstar website. It is relatively ad free. I gave it a try using a Mobitel HSDPA connection and quality was ok in full screen view most of the time. Stream did not break up time to time for buffering. Only problem was that the bandwidth was not enough for fast sequences and resulted in fussy images in such situations.
Any way at my place quality of this link on a Mobitel broadband connection is far better than Channel Eye reception. So this is how I am going to watch world cup.
Here is the link:

Unlimited Terms for Presidency Good Thing?
I am not a political writer and politics is not my thing either. But recent news on unlimited terms for executive presidency made me think. This is not a well thought through post either. I am just putting out some thoughts that came to my mind.
Main argument that I have heard so far is, if a president is good enough to retain majority support among people (lets assume he is not influencing the election result in any way other than doing his duty as the president to meet or exceed the expectation of people) it is unfortunate that such a president will not be able to serve his people longer than two terms. Well that sounds logical.
Also we are in a post war situation where there is a lot to be done in terms of development and reconciliation. It requires to have a continued strong policy and a strong man on the job for longer than two terms. But that is a temporary situation.
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul
- William Ernest Henley

Hello world!
Hello every one!
This is my first post. I just felt like starting a blog but I have no idea what I am going to write here. I’ll just let it run (or die) for some time and see what it will become.
