IPl is over - back to buisiness now

2008-07-02T01:12:00.000-07:00

If you are a regular reader of this blog then you will find nothing related to the Indian premier league in this post. I’m writing this post for the promotion of my next blog. I’m making quite a good income by giving people information they need and in turn getting traffic from. So now I decided to share the information on how to make money online.

I entered this profession a long back and had passed many hurdles before I actually started making money. It’s very important for a person to stand still and not give up. I did the same and now I’m making a good living. There are many blogs maintained by people from all around the world which gives us information on how to make money online. But many of them are bogus and cannot be trusted. If you are reading this then you are lucky that you are going to get the right guidance.

In my research I came to know that people from Asian countries mainly India are more interested in making money online. But the process of making money online is not the same in all countries. There are only a few programmes available in Asian countries and especially India so to earn online in India may be a bit tougher than that in other countries. The main and simplest way to make money online is through Adsense and that is available in India and that’s enough to make a good living. So follow the right guidance before you start your business.

No more Hopes for the DC in IPL

2008-05-11T07:20:00.000-07:00

The Chargers did it again they lost to the Kolkatha Knight Riders here at Hyderabad. They were already at the last position in the table and they did it again.

All the cricket experts are completely surprised with this performance by the Deccan Chargers. DC were one among the Hot favorites when IPL started. But now it is in the last position.

The Knight Riders started of well with some good partnership from Ganguly and Chopra later on mike Hussuy took the responsibilty with some grest shots.

The Chargers seemed good with Gilly but after his dismisal there was no hope for the Chargers. Venu Gopal Rao did a good job in the end but was not worth to win the game. He scored 69 from just 42 balls with 5 sixers on the card. He hit the maximum sixers in the match.

It was for the first time in the IPL that a man batting a 6th poistion scored a half century. All the credit goes to Venu Gopal Rao but he was not able to bring the match for the Chargers.

Best Match in IPL

2008-05-03T07:24:00.000-07:00

Deccan chargers Vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

Deccan Chargers did it again. They lost the match to the Bangalore Royal challengers with a fight. The match looked like it was going in the chargers way but in the last it was RCB who made it.

Rohith Sharma became the highest scorer in IPL with this match. Laxman and Sharma looked good with their partnership till the end. Rohith got out and Afridi, Laxman and Stryis followed his way back to the pavilion.

There were 20 runs to be scored in the last over. Singles were taken in the first two balls. Then Sanjay hit the first six, the crowd stood to their feet and were all tensed. Then to everyone’s surprise he hit another six. Chargers were back into the game. But the next ball bowled by Anil Kumble stumbled Sanjay and he was not able to take the shot and just took a single. This gave a chance for Arjun Yadav to face the last ball and only 5 runs to be scored. He was too young to take the job and obviously failed to do it.

At last the chargers lost it again and a very big disappointment to the Hyderabad Cricket fans. This Team in fact having the best of players is not able to perform up to their level. Hope this doesn’t continue and my pity to Hyderabad fans who had a lot of hopes on their home team.

The Chargers will Face the Super kings on 6^th of may according the IPL schedule.
