The Indian Premier League is back in India, to a country where cricket is a religion. Such is the grip of IPL on the nation that even multiplexes will be telecasting matches to make up for the reduced viewer-ship and footfalls during the season. There will be no new movie releases and the TRP of most popular soaps is expected to be at a low.
In time for the third season, Infibeam.com launched an exclusive IPL merchandise store on IPLT20.COM. Speaking on the prolific alliance, Mr. Vishal Mehta, CEO Infibeam.com, said, "With the IPL 2010, coming to home turf, cricket fans in India have more reasons to smile. We are proud to partner with GCV on launching the official online shopping store for branded IPL merchandise."
Mark Melville, Director, GCV said, "The IPL store offers the entire range of official IPL merchandise with an information-rich shopping experience. Cricket fans can now shop for their favorite team gear with the convenience of sitting at home and get door-step delivery across India and to major cricket playing nations. We are excited to partner with Infibeam.com, who will power the shopping site and provide fulfilment services to customers."
The IPL store at Infibeam.com will cater to the demands of cricket aficionados with a wide range of products branded with their favorite team.

Diwali 2010 is going to be a much bigger blast than last year, and nobody can deny that. While last year many were restrained due to ripples of the worldwide economy downturn, this year things are firmly turning around. Diwali is all about the worship of wealth, and worshipping its creators and protectors, be it Goddess Lakshmi or the Dhanwantaris, Shri Govardhana, or Maata Kali. So, it was only natural that the economy downturn would lead to dampened spirits during Diwali in the last few years. But, this year, spirits are high, crackers are out, and the rangolis are going to be bigger and better than ever. We can't wait for Diwali 2010 to start knocking on the door.
