Olympics Vs Cricket (applicable only in India)

The final day of the Olympics fever has come and one of the famous topic debated among the sport freaks is this one OLYMPICS Vs CRICKET especially in India.

One of the big reasons for this debate in question is Cricket is not included in Olympics. Otherwise, certainly Cricket should have been a part of a very big event called Olympics.
In India, When you consider the athletes known to people well, you will end up seeing more number of cricketers in it and because of this, cricketers get one of the biggest remuneration in India. There cannot be anyone who knows Bindra and not Sachin but the reverse can still be true. That is the mass following for cricket in India.

Certainly, Olympics is at a bigger stage compared to cricket. Olympics contains many games in it and cannot be certainly compared as such with Cricket in any other country other than India.

The other reason for the significance of Cricket over Olympics in India is the PERFORMANCE of cricket over olympics. This doesn't mean India is performing really well in cricket but really not that well in olympics. Enjoy all the jock's performance, be it on any sport.

    Hmm.. I donno how such comparisons can be made between an event & a game!!

    Btw,
    Twenty-twenty Cricket is expected to debut in 2020 Olympics!!

    Any new game to be included in Olympics has to be registered some 7 or 8 years before itself I guess..

    Well., a good thought and write up :) but hardly practical though..

    A couple of thoughts from my end..
    * Cricket is not as famous in all countries.
    * In fact, its just 16-20 countries that have any cricketing history at all.
    * Cricket is traditionally a longer game and requires larger real estate and consumes time quite unlike other events.

    I realise from the heading that we are viewing this from an Indian perspective, but we can hardly have any influence on the centre-stage of Olympics.

    @mighty titan
    You seem to realise the heading only at the end of your comment ;-)

    @vigneshkumar
    Twenty20 has been registered for Olympics but I am not sure when is it going to go live.

What does customer experience mean?

Customer experience is the experience of the customer from the period they came to know about the existence of the product until they finish using the product. For a hotel like Saravana Bhavan, the customer experience is from the point they came to know about its existence (the day they started) until they are associated with that particular customer (probably, forever for Saravana Bhavan but it depends on each of the customer). For a typical brokerage firm, it is all about how easy it is to open the account and the experience until the customer closes the account. For BSNL or Samsung, it is from when the customer gets to know about their products (the point when they want to buy it) until the time they stopped using it. Customer service is also part of it. Its all about the customer service, once the customer has become the owner of the product. Most of the times, I have seen, the Customer Experience is great until one procure the product or service and after that, because of t...

Nokia E51 WLAN Settings

Nokia E51 is a smart phone with almost all the features available in it. It looks really slim and comes in three colors. It has loads of features and highlight of them all is the connection through the Internet through WLAN. You can get a Internet connection from the service provider and ask for the wi-fi router. With the wi-fi router, you can connect to the Internet through various other devices like Laptop, Nokia E51 etc., You will be provided with the password for the WLAN connection and only if you enter the password correctly you will be connected to the Internet through that WLAN. As you may expect, this password will be asked only when you connect to Internet through this WLAN for the very first time. In Laptop/Computer, you have Network settings to identify and modify the settings if wrongly entered. But this is somewhat tricky in case of Nokia E51! In Nokia E51, You have the option of Browse WLAN right at the home page for you. If you have customized for something different, u...
