IKHAR (BHARUCH), MARCH 9: Except for Mirza Street, the whole of Ikhar village cursed the two-hour early morning power cut as local boy and speedster Munaf Patel made his debut in the Mohali Test match and picked up a wicket against England today.

For this Bharuch village which swears by the game, everyone was glued to their TV sets except for Munaf’s family and the street where he lives. For them, watching TV is “bad influence.”

No TV in Munaf’s home, Mom says will get one

Comments: Another interesting story about TV around the world. Nearly every resident in a rural village has TV, except one. The one who does not have the TV achieves phenonemal success. Makes sense to me. Turn off your TV and follow your dreams, no matter what country you live in.
