Reduced time gap between Movies' Theatre release and Television premieres

It recently occured to me that in recent times, the gap between the dates when a movie is first released on Movie Theatres - multiplex or others, single screen halls and the date on which they are shown on television channels- like Zee Cinema, Star Plus, Sony, Set Max for Hindi movies, and HBO, Star Movies etc for English language movies has reduced. Earlier, we used to see that a movie being released in a year was shown on television- the next year, or may be 2 years after that. For e.g- I recall movies like DDLJ or Border being shown a good 2 years after their theatre release. However, now movies are sometimes shown just 4 months, or even 1.5 months after their theatre release. E.g - "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" was released in Late October(or early November) and was shown on TV around New Year eve. Akshay Kumar-Sanjay Dutt starrer "Blue" was released in October and was shown on TV in December. It has been almost similar case with "Rann" and "Qurbaan". For "NewYork", the gap was of 4 months. What do you think could be the reason? Is it that now people see so many movies and are so busy that the films seem to get "older' very fast?

India's exciting one wicket win over Australia in Mohali test

In an exciting finish in the first test match at Mohali, India beat Australia by 1 wicket. India had to make 216 to win, and at 1 stage India were 124 for 8. Then V.V.S.Laxman and Ishant Sharma had a superb partnership of 81 runs and took India to victory. Laxman remained unbeated on 73, and Ishant made 31. The place where I am currently staying does not subscribes to the sports channel showing this match, but I would surely love to watchthe highlights of this match.

What is this street's name ?

This is another of my Chennai experiences. I had this experience on the street where I stayed at a guest house location till 30th September morning. The street on which I lived is called as "Neelkanda Mehta" street. However, on many homes as well as some other places, it is written as "Neelkanda Metha" street. I have asked other people too. However, I have not found a satisfactory answer.

Evolution and Creationism - My Viewpoint

Whenever someone mentions something related to Evolution ; or whether God created all Animals , Humans ;or whether it is all a play of evolutionary Process; I become very much engrossed. It is a topic in which I have a unique interest . At a personal level,I favour the Theory of Evolution . True , the theory that God created everything does has its valid points . It also has many people supporting it . Points that make the God's creation Theory (as such this is not the name of the Theory , but I call it like this ) : 1)Evolutionists say that Man evolved from Apes who in turm evolved from some Amphibian creatures ,who in tuirn were evolving from Reptiles or Fish and so on . yet ; who created the most basic Life Form ? It must have been God . 2)Who decided when Big Bang has to happen or why Earth only had to be habitable long enough ? True , Mars also has some signs of Life Supporting conditions , but no Life has been detected as such . 3)Why Man only...
