Salaam India !

Finally the CWG started. I was afraid of any thing going wrong / Indian pride taking a beating courtesy hundreds of glitches associated with the games.  But thank God. It was so beautiful.  There were tears in my eyes.  I was very happy and moved.  I thank all those who went on to make the ceremony a great event.

All the artists, students who toiled for months to put this beautiful piece together.  All those volunteers and security forces who put their sweat into it.  Finally all those, workers who also put in their blood ( read the labourers who died during the build up to games) and got nothing, not even a decent acknowledgment.  They do deserve a mention.  All that we gave them is we drove them out of city to ensure a picture perfect facade.

Let me bring one thing to note, during my late night sojourn from office I cam across labourers working at late hours on road side for Games projects and surprisingly I found minor children working at those sites.

It is a sin to be born as poor in this country (I am not aware of their stature else where).
Lets learn some thing from South Africa which held FIFA world cup which is the biggest sporting event on planet.  They did it beautifully.  In the end all the labourers were acknowledged of their services and were given tickets to watch football game in those very stadiums which they built.

Here in our country we hardly value a human life, especially a poor one.  So guys if one is poor, they should not expect any thing .

Any way lets all wish a great sporting event. But lets not forget all those who really contributed to this mega event.  Lets not forget who gobbled public money and put country and its people to shame and shambles.
