Sporting Events and India...


The Biggest fiasco of this year for our nation is the preparation of the Commonwealth games scheduled to be held later this year in New Delhi.Already lots and lots of scams are pouring out of the closet which were secretly guarded by the politicians and bureaucrats.Imagine getting treadmills on rent for 10 lakhs per month when they could have been bought for less than that.
Jesus!!!
These guys even can't dupe us properly.Why can't they control themselves and limit to some sense while doing such henious acts...guess their education or the aparent lack of it speaks volumes through these stuffs.
Today while going through the online version of India today I was lucky enough to bump into one of their archived articles.
Guess what the topic was "82' Asiad,New Delhi".Here is the link for your further readings.
82' Delhi Asian Games Preparation--A report
Well I will put up a few facts which came across my mind while going through the article
So here it goes.

1)Both in 82 as well as now India were unprepared till the deadline day.
2)Sports Association was still run by politicians then.
3)Lot of infrastructure went into our capital city,changing its face on both the occassions.
4)Escalation of the budget is part and parcel of the game.

The only difference I found was that unlike this time they were no faulty constructions and the games itself was a huge success.
Well I do sincerely hope the latter comes true (Yes,Mr.Mani Shankar I am supporting the games and so should you as it is now inevitable)

Please join me and lets pray that the Commonwealth Games turn out to be a resounding success.

Till next time  its Astalavista children!!!!
