Too much restrictions. No fun.

Even a simple function such as selling or buying tickets for a cricket match in Sri Lanka is made so atrocious. It looks like we are still in the lower stages of human evolution.

We have gone back to the stone age. Nothing can be done properly. We can only boast of a 2500 year civilisation. It is the lack of discipline on all fronts.Administrators and the public.....Look at the mess.
