Hello Chennai this is shocking news for all cricket fans in Chennai as only 8 months to go for the third edition of IPL there’s a question of team Chennai matches in the city. The renovation program of MA Chidambaram stadium for the 2011 World cup will start in September so the work will be carried out in full swing by 2010 March. In this case team Chennai bosses have no other option other than moving the matches away from the home city. But few authorities have a thought to play IPL matches in Chennai and to reduce the seating to one-third of its total capacity.
The total capacity of the stadium is 45,000 according to the initial estimates of redoing the chepauk stadium at most 30,000 seats can be available for the public during the IPL season. The other alternates for team Chennai bosses are to shift the matches to the stadium in Vizag, but it falls under the Hyderabad franchise. The other option is to relocate the matches to Cochin but there may be some legal complications in that. Apart from all these things team Chennai’s marketing team are keen in the city connect which has lots of craze of an IPL. Team Chennai skipper MS Dhoni said a quite a few times in IPL-2 in South Africa that they were really missing the atmosphere of MA Chidambaram stadium, which had lot to do with their success of the first IPL.
Team Chennai official said “It’s a tough call for us, but we will play it by ear” adding that a final decision will be known in a short while.
So let’s hope for the best as we all know “Man proposes God disposes”

Always Chinese are very different from the rest of the world. Not only in their culture, food habits, dressing but also in framing rules. Yes they have ordered all the government employees to smoke. U people are wondering ah? Its true people. This rule has been implemented in Hubei State. Actually they get their major revenue from the cigar companies so in order to retain it they have imposed this rule. Yearly the government will get 2 lakhs and 30 thousand cigar packets and will distribute it to all departments and they have to smoke this in a year. If they fail to smoke the given amount of cigar that particular department should pay a heavy fine. Isn’t it funny? Why can’t we try this out in our country!!!!!!!! :-)

What's the meaning of 'masakalli' in the dove song of Delhi 6 .Its the name of Sonam Kapoor's Dove. So here is the story of the masakalli song which was not at all planned by the director.

Sooraj Barjatya's "Maine Pyar Kiya" had a pigeon song that became popular and 20 years later Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has a dove song in his forthcoming film "Delhi-6″. He says it was not part of the original plan."The song was not really meant to be part of the narrative. I mean, who would think of putting in a song about a dove in a film like 'Delhi-6′? It just happened. When I came to the pre-climax portion of my script, I was stuck. I needed a continuity link taking the narrative to its finale," Mehra said in an interview.

Mehra's much talked-about "Delhi-6″ has a large cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek, Sonam Kapoor and Gulshan Grover as well as a dove named Masakali who serves as the romantic leitmotif in the plot.

So crucial was the dove to the film that a whole song was written and composed in its honour. The song "Masakali" is sung by Mohit Chauhan whose voice A.R. Rahman had used in "Rang De Basanti".

"When I narrated the scene to Rahman, he said, 'I can see a dove here'. I was taken aback. I had never mentioned Sonam's dove to Rahman. How did he know about it? That's how the song 'Masakali' was born," said Mehra.

Mehra says the songs fit well in the plot of the movie.

"When Rahman and I did 'Rang De Basanti', we didn't think about anything except how well the songs and music fitted into the plot. The music of 'Delhi-6′ is again designed only for the film. The dove song 'Masakali' makes sense only within the parameters of our plot."
