I was wondering what happened after those "Change to DTH from cable" calls were made to public. So to answer that I went to the Government data set site and looked for relevant data. And I found a data set showing the total number of subscriber for various DTH providers in this country, for each year from 2011 to 2015. That led me to create this visualization (purely because I wanted to explore tableau).
So have a look at it and you will know that DishTV was the biggest gainer. They nearly doubled their subscriber base. Good advertisement ? Cheaper ? Better customization ?Another interested fact is all DTH providers except Reliance have increased the number of subscriptions (not counting Sun Direct as they appeal to smaller audience). In-fact Reliance's base has gone down. Bad service ? Bad product ? Costly ? 





Now another thing which crossed my mind and I think must've crossed a lot on others' minds as well was the question that 'How long do these channels show the ads for?'
Well I have an answer for you, at-least for during the peak hours which is when most of us watch television. And to surprise or no surprise NDTV 24x7 is the second highest in terms of average advert per hour, i.e. 22.66 min per hour which is nearly 10 min more than Aaj Tak which shows about 12.97 min per hour. And frankly I had thought Aaj Tak would be in the top bracket and not the bottom, which it is in right now. Want to know other channels as well? Go check out.

Do some good with what you learn and what you know they said. So I am trying to do just that. When the latest Panama Papers got released I was in the midst of learning about the vast field of data science. Then a thought crossed my mind "Why not do something with the data?'. And so began this small project. It seemed daunting task for my noob mind but then again whats the point of learning if you cannot experiment and go out of your comfort zone. So I set out to do 'something' with the data set at hand. First look at the data set and I was like, 'This is an experiment which is way out of my league'. But then again everything is to someone who is just starting out, so I said 'Onwards and to god knows where'.  So what did I do?  Sunday morning breakfast ->Download data set -> Load it up in R -> Check all the data and find relevant stuff -> Make a copy of the relevant data and ditch the rest -> Google about Geocoding -> R-Blogg...

Penning down this piece just to blurt out some things that are plaguing my mind since long. It’s a mixture of a lot of things, basis of which is related to our LFC and a subject close to every supporter’s heart (supposing everyone likes to learn about our vast history) and the other core is formed by what’s going on in the world since few years now. Yes you must’ve guessed about it, I’m talking of a day etched deep within the memories of every Merseysider. Some who were affected directly are still feeling the pain of an irrecoverable loss. And then there are others who can feel their agony and anguish at what happened on that wretched day of the 4 th month of 1989. A day which should be remembered by everyone alike, for every fan or supporter is family to us in the Red. I was born 3 months after the incident but I have tears whenever I read, hear or see videos about the day. Many say that people outside Merseyside cannot feel the pain, I agree with you but only partly. I say partl...

Life can be hard and uncompromising or even downright painful. But sometimes it gives you happiness mixed with anxiety just like eating a chocolate with a sour coating, it tastes sour at the onset all the while making you want to spit it out but you hang on because you know the sweet part is coming.  And when it does, nothing can be as tastier. Thinking of chocolates reminds me of why I am writing this, our beloved Liverpool FC. These last few years (especially under the one whose face  resembles an owl, isn't it?) have been downright sour but we knew the sweet part would come. All these years we had that feeling of disbelief and even disgust at times. Nobody knew when this would go away but we all knew it was somewhere there lurking behind the dark clouds. Now the days of owls and whiskey are over, the days of Chihuahuas and laughter are here. The sweet in the chocolate has finally broken past the layers and layers of sourness; we have finally managed to wade...
