Commonwealth Games 2010

So, the opening ceremony was a huge success I heard. I get to hear about it mostly from Twitter as I was pretty much traveling during the event.

I also get to know about how bad the coverage was. DD was probably running a delayed feed (by around 10 minutes I hear) to add the stupid f advertisements.

I also get to hear about the crappy presentations given by Suresh Kalmadi  and our beloved (NOT) president Pratibha Patil.

I also heard that Zangoora was performed live which is a major shock because it was supposed to be a Kingdom of Dreams only thing. But then, I cannot confirm this fact.

You may call me an ass**** for saying this but I would still love to have one big day of heavy rains in the city of Delhi during the next couple of days.

If that does not happen, there is a very solid chance that the IOC and Mr. Kalmadi would take away the entire credit along with all the rumored monies they made during the organizing period.

The games should go on just fine. But the people who mismanaged them should be punished. But that is now very unlikely to happen.

A big FU to CWG 2010 and DSC Limited

I just aborted a mission to Delhi. It turned out to be a nightmare. Took 40 minutes to reach the Toll Plaza. The entire route was jam packed. There was a huge jam past the toll plaza itself. I took a U turn and came back.

DSC Limited are the operators of the Delhi Gurgaon Toll Plaza and they were supposed to open up the plaza for traffic if there was waiting period of a particular time limit. I do not believe that the time period was 30/40/50 minutes.

Anyways. They could have done little to prevent the entire mess. I guess the entire expressway to Delhi was jam packed. My last attempt to visit Delhi was a failure due to problems with the Delhi Metro.

I guess my visit to Delhi is currently jinxed. And I should probably avoid it till the end of the Commonwealth Games if they ever take place!

Update: Looks like this jam was caused due to water-logging in Dwarka. How sad.

Whoa. Connaught Place is a mess!

I just arrived back from Connaught Place after a very long time and I am shocked to see what they have done to that place.

The inner circle is a complete mess. No one stopped me from going in but apparently the route is blocked for construction.

I had to make a U turn and go back to the outer circle.

The last time I went there, outer circle was a messy place to park your car. But apparently, they have completed the destruction in the name of beautification.

Two months to Commonwealth Games. Can Delhi get dressed up for the event? With all the scandals that are emerging, I am hoping to see a freak show resulting in proper investigations on the entire project. India does not deserve anything. We cannot do one simple thing right.
