CWG 2010
Is there any common man who has not yet passed a sarcastic remark about the coming Commonwealth Games?? No, there can be none. Crores have been pumped into it and what do we have to show for it? Zilch! Today, speaking on the readiness of venues for the CWG, Badminton World no 3, Saina Nehwal at a press conference said that we are really not ready to host games of such prestige. She said she had seen international venues and found Delhi sadly lacking. An hour later, Saina goes ahead to retract her statement saying she apologises for making such statements which could hurt her and the country!!! Had she been threatened? Are we living in a democracy or what?? Can't we speak our minds any more? Who are these bigwigs who have pocketed all the moolah and are trying to make a show of running a defunct CWG 2010?
P.S. Why was Rahman paid Rs 5 crore for composing a song for these games? The song, it turns out, is a damp squib. (I haven't listened to it yet). So what now? Does he return 50% of the fee?
