No La Liga in India...

It's confirmed...NO La Liga telecast in india from ESS...

It was never their priority and one can only hope that TENsports will pick up the rights and give better coverage as certainly ESPNStar's priority was always EPL while Tensports (and Zee sports as well hopefully) will look at it as their main football league, if they get the rights.
Here's hoping that they do. And hopefully they'll provide as good a coverage as ESPN-Star gives to EPL and Neo Sports gives to Serie A and Bundesliga.
The only problem ofcourse will be the clashes with cricket matches.

It's pathetic and disastrous to miss La Liga and probably the best La Liga season ever. So the decision by ESS must be final, though still it's difficult to digest ESS's decision. ESS seems to be too proud with EPL and cricket properties they have. As for what ESS has done on La Liga, we curse them, not be able to renew EPL rights next season onwards.

Still a faint hope lies in Ten Sports. TEN have said the league is asking a huge sum and perhaps 10 times more than they could get from advertisers. Still they have not totally denied the telecast. If TEN aggressively tries to promote and market the League on its platform (incl. Zee Sports)like what ESS is doing for EPL, probably they can acquire enough sponsors and advertisers. It all depends on TEN's strtaegies and marketing plans and hard work to sell the League. Who wants to see SPL and Dutch League as a substitute of La Liga? And for the argument that La Liga is kicked off late at night, I am very sure that La Liga can get as much viewership as Champs League which also kicks off after midnight. And btw, lot of La Liga matches are also kicked off in between 9.30pm to 11.30pm (Indian time) incl. clashes of Real and Barca matches. So friends in India pls call up TEN and persuade and request them humbly to think seriously over it bring us the league which is definitely the best in the world.

ESS has a dedicated Cricket channel but can't get a Football specific channel even when Football watching audience in Asia is higher than Cricket.Sheer mindlessness on their part.

Anyways , being a FCB fan and a La Liga fan , i believe someone take the onus and telecast it ASAP...

Shaastra goes the Extra Parsec

Shaastra, the IIT Madras technical festival, is like the ultimate cutting-edge electromagnet. Once activated on the 30th of September, it will continue to attract iron-minded students and test the steeliest of resolves till the 4th of October. The electricity which pulls the masses come Shaastra is the abundance of events which challenge and charm, instigate and invigorate. The solid iron core is however the backbone of electromagnets, set up by a dedicated team of students whose sole aim is to make Shaastra the most enthralling and wide-reaching technical festival in India.

Plans have been drawn this year to make this magnet ever more powerful. Often touted as the King of the Tech fests - South of the Vindhyas, this Shaastra the External Publicity team is leaving no section of India uncovered. A quick word on this team. They’re the guys and gals who visit the colleges and universities of India dispensing the festival’s glamorous CV and numerous future undertakings to budding engineers and technocrats. They are the faces of Shaastra, revealing luscious lips and gorgeous eyes, enough to arouse but leaving you wanting more.

Uttar Pradesh and Orissa are being covered for the first time as Shaastra seeks to broaden its appeal and expand its horizons. With some of the best engineering colleges of India located in these states, the goal is to bring quality participation and diverse ideas from the erudite Indian cultures of these parts. This Shaastra, the emphasis is on tackling social predicaments relevant to our times focusing inherently on Sustainable Development and the minds of the brightest thinkers from our premium institutes will be called forward to help India take a step likewise.

In addition to UP, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan will each have a committed troop of ‘salesmen/women’ to tackle the Northern and Western zones. Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka make up the targeted South while Madhya Pradesh in the Center and Orissa in the East complete the circuit.

Speaking of circuitry, this once-a-year yet unique-in-every-way magnet promises to be the crowd-puller of the season, and you ‘wooden’ want to miss it. So Stick around. It’s going to be five Field days.

Prayer

I ASK good things that I detest,

With speeches fair;

Heed not, I pray Thee, Lord, my breast,

But hear my prayer.

I say ill things I would not say -

Things unaware:

Regard my breast, Lord, in Thy day,

And not my prayer.

My heart is evil in Thy sight:

My good thoughts flee:

O Lord, I cannot wish aright -

Wish Thou for me.

O bend my words and acts to Thee,

However ill,

That I, whate'er I say or be,

May serve Thee still.

O let my thoughts abide in Thee

Lest I should fall:

Show me Thyself in all I see,

Thou Lord of all.
