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.
