I've been adjudged as someone who probably hates India from the core of his heart. Well there aren't a lot of things to be proud about anyway! And as history goes, one wrong doing will always TAKE YOU DOWN. Its a little calumnious to display my censorious side, since its always been about exhibiting the veracity of the situation!
2003, India pimped Canada to take the lead for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Now I dont really follow the sport or something but its obviously something to hold your head high with pride and honour. Conversely, we had 7 years to prepare! Simply speaking, for a whole of 364 weeks we were just sitting on our asses, toasting our Swiss Bank accounts with colossal magnitudes, idling our time away until the ass actually caught fire, enough to cause mass conflagration!
I really liked the logo of the CWG 2010. Probably it was a mere object that belied the onslaught of the aspersion that was to follow! And the antics by the organizing committee is definitely the icing on the cake. Their statements are ludicrous and will probably serve as world class entertainment for the generations to come. We've been carved out with years of assiduous labour as the sublime laughing stock for the whole world!
Anyway, peek-a-boo at the national shame they've caused us! By 2009, the games fell way behind schedule. Like WAY WAY behind! Like they had to carry a heavy carapace! 13 out of the 19 venues went behind schedule! And they were supposed to keep a year for trial runs!
2 weeks before the games, you have unfinished living quarters, no amenities, POOR santiation and dogs defecating on beds! And they guys were valorous enough to come up with statements like,"Due to cultural differences, India has different cleanliness standards from the western world." Calling it ridiculous is an understatement in all kinds. I'm guessing a dog defecates on the committee's bed everyday before sleeping!
Quality control in India needs no awakening. I dont even need to discuss it when you have foot-over bridges collapsing because the cables snapped! The weightlifting venue ceiling couldn't hold its own weight! Contemptuous stuff!
An international reporter got into the venue with a light intensity bomb to prove the tenacity of the Indian vigilance. Labourers work in human conditions for less than 3$/8 hours a day. Thats probably what I spend on food in two days. So many countries have pulled out, that now we actually have a chance of winning a gold!
I dont know what are the implications of this event. I dont know how many people are proud Indians today. But there are some things for sure. 6 months down the line, we'll forget who Mr. Suresh Kalmadi is. That is pure Indian mentality. We might see him on Big Boss a few seasons later. If he has any pending court cases, they'll be cleared within 20 years and thats being optimistic! And finally the nail on the head,"Patriotism is the last refuge of all scoundrels."
I wish Adolf Hitler was running our country. Amen.

Top 10 munchers!
This is probably going to be the post with maximum acidulous comments and opinions! And I choose to ignore them all since these are "MY" thoughts! Now if I had the power, I'd probably kidnap the main chefs at these places to a private offshore house and probably have the time of my life and living with the fact that I'll never fit into an FSAE car, atleast the Orion Racing version of it! Screw them, they'll realise the gravity of their actions someday! Anyway here's something to get your tummy working!
1. Ram Ashraya, Matunga - Beatitude bestowed with quality idlis and mouth watering dosas! You just CANT get bored of it! Probably after a hard night at the workshop, its the place to be at!
2. Grill House, Chembur - Indianised version of Chinese food served freshed with hot spices which make your taste buds go mad, LITERALLY! A little sidey, but who cares?
3. Achija, Ghatkopar - My night hangout place with Nikunj! Awesome pav bhaji and the chinese tastes better with the bread! You ought to try it!
4. Koylas, Colaba - Amidst the hookah smoke, the huge bread basket assorted with butter and awesome punjabi food with sauteed mushrooms make it a must eat place!
5. Ayubs, Colaba - The best place in the city for a hot grill! Barbequed style paneer and mushroom along with potatoes make my dates go mad over the food! Its gradual after that! :P
6. 5 Spice, Bandra/Town - Here's a taste of authentic chinese food served in an awesome ambience topped with the best desserts in town! It'll truly cause you to die of addiction!
7. Bade Miyan's, Colaba - No mushrooms but on the flipside they give a lot more variety than Ayubs! Great food! Must visit for all barbeque lovers!
8. Kobe's Sizzlers, All over the city - Steaming fresh with vegetables, gets a HUMONGOUS smile on my mom's face since its the first on the list thats quite healthy! I'd head anytime of the day here!
9. Chili's, Powai - It might drill a huge hole in the pocket but the size of the burger and its taste is probably worth the hole! Great food, gets your tummy working and you ought not to leave the place without stuffing yourself beyond what you actually can!
Now at this point I'd love to add the 15" paratha I had at Chandni Chowk but I cant! And probably most of this list would be taken over by Delhi with a lot of ease but lets stick to the neighbourhood!
10. Bhagat Tarachand, Vashi - AWESOME. Period.
Now it might take some time to digest this heavy food, some of you'll must have tried it as well! Take some time to contemplate and if you do not agree, good for you! For the others who've missed out on any of these, you're probably wasting a lot of time warming the chair sitting in front of the computer! Get up, get out, HOG! :D
