"Better Than Beijing" These were the words used to describe the Common Wealth Games (2010) to be held in India by top Indian officials hardly a year ago. Promises !!! Promises and some more Promises !!! .
Lets for a moment forget the economics of hosting such an event and just think about only the pride of a nation, South Africa would be proud to host the FIFA world cup and they have the right to, as they did a splendid job hosting it. News is that London is already prepared for the next CWG event. All positive things going around in your mind right now !! . Now lets come back to CWG 2010 India... oops suddenly what comes to mind is FILTHY !! the word used by CWG officials inspecting the venues, now this is the impact that it will have on India's image if the remaining episode of CWG goes wrong.
Who's responsible ???? Mr Kalmadi says, he's not ... because he is not responsible for cleaning the venues himself, and he blames the sporting committee for handing over the venues late, the sporting committee comes up with a FULL PAGE article that gives in dates on which each venue was handed over to Mr Kalmadi's team and ooo laa laa those dates look pretty good. Now what ???? I guess nothing its all as usual here in India.
Now dont blame me for criticizing my own country, its the people here who say this for long now and maybe people from other countries too in future if not already, and why won't they or for that matter why won't I, I have seen this time and again. Huge budgets !!!!! all eaten up. Look at the tumbling path ways .... ceilings collapsing ... beds collapsing as soon as someone thinks of sitting on it !!! Sounds funnny ??? sounds embarrassing !!!!.
Can't go writing any more.I have nothing more to say. We all know how it goes here . We as people of our country can just pray that it atleast ends well now. And yes look out for those traffic jams guys !! I thank god I am not in Delhi :)
Anyways JAI Ho !! to everybody involved .. good or bad ... you like or don't.... this is India and these are our CWG .
JAI Ho !!! India
