IPL and power failures
Indian Premier League is one of the most enjoyable cricket tournaments in the world. This T20 format has become immensely popular since its introduction in 2008 and it took the attention of the whole world. Finally, it's here. The moment we all have been waiting for. The stadiums are packed, the television is set, and billions of fans wait expectantly for the South African curtains to rise. The masses go hysterical; unfortunately it is a different scenario in Bangladesh. Despite people's great interest we are unable to watch the games due to the recently added agony of the citizens-- 'Load shedding', it has broken all records and we are plunged into darkness when these games are being played. It is so painful that you do not even feel like watching the rest when the electricity is back. We are becoming so used to this poor electricity supply that we hardly talk against it these days.
How can we dream of a digital Bangladesh with such poor power supply?
