The upcoming Common Wealth Games which is supposed to be Indias moment of glory is turning into an hour of shame with every passing day. The games due to start from Oct 3rd are proving to be a debacle. With Royal corruptions, high security concerns and incomplete preparations the question that pops up is are we really ready to organize such a world class event?
2010 CWG with imported items like toilet papers worth 4000 bucks a pop and Umbrellas for 6000/piece has set a new standard of corruption. It makes all the other corruptions from fodder to software seems to be chindi chors. With CWG participants on their way its too late to react and do anything at this point. We cannot shelve the games and book the culprits. Its the irony of fact that inspite of so much nothing happens to these offenders. However we will see breaking news flashes on our Idiot boxes, some jobless panelists will be called who will condemn the issue and give out their gyaan, Some sting opertions to garner some TRPs and some more new names getting global fame. While the mango people would think that something is happening the issue will be swept under the carpet in few weeks.
When I got to know that a whopping 30 crore flower pots were bought, I got to know what money plants are. Incase there is a security concern, our body builders working out with 80 crore dumbles (probably made of gold with diamonds studded on it) could be put to use. With all this I wonder are we really a poor country? I am sure we can make many developed countries to run for their money. You know what, its the organizers mistake; Who asked them to call it common wealth games? No wonder the officials took it literally and thought the weatlth to be "common" and shared with family and friends :P.
Anyways its one more scandals which will be discussed at chai-time by one and all. We will curse the government for not taking any actions. TVs will show this for a while and eventually everyone will forget it.
