A feast ahead for the Indian cricket fan. The long awaited DFL Indian Premier League is all set to get off to a rousing start in my hometown of Bengaluru.

Bangalore’s Royal Challengers takes on Kolkatta’s Knight Riders in the inaugural match on April 18. The match will be preceded by a lot of fanfare including the Washington Redskins providing the cheerleading.

The tournament sees 8 teams play 56 matches to be followed by two semi-finals and the grand finale at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on June 1. See the fixtures here.

Deleted Without Being Read

A Step A Day, e-mail

Thank God for technology which helps you to track your emails. At least you have some means of knowing whether your mail reached the person or not. I am not a mass mailer or a spammer but using the “read receipt” function lets me know if the majority of people are reading my mails or not.

You also come to know whether your mails are deleted without being read. If they are deleted due to a passage of time, it means one thing. I have seen a mail about a program I had in January 2008 being deleted in April 2008. That’s fine. The reader feels the event has gone by and hence the mail need not be read.
