Common 'Wealth' Games



The third largest sporting event under the hands of Indian sports authority. who am i Kidding? Do i talk shock?

We are indians and we love being an indian. Isn’t it? Being an indian we have the natural inclinations towards bollywood movies, eating food through roadside vendors and the most obvious , cricket worshipping. Cricketers are god to us , we pray when they play and celebrate their century even if india falls into losing side. I am not in a motion to offend indians as i am one of them and always feels like a proud citizen. But , 'why' is the question of hour. We do wonders when we work individual and fumble very badly when it comes to team approach although there are exceptions. The slackness found in the time delay of preparation of commonwealth games is hurting india’s image at the global map.

This is the third largest multisport multinational event being held in india for the first time and every activity is under the scanner. The corruption is on higher end although still needs validation. The media and the newspaper are covered with corruption charges. Every now and then TV channels are fluttered with news of players backing out of game. Recently bolt refused to participate in commonwealth games because of his unavailability and the number is increasing day by day.The big organisational chaos will lead to many bad repercussions that will be felt very prominently in upcoming days. Foreigners visit India to see places and endure to come again and again but its high time we tighten our security systems and intelligence. The frequency of misconduct to them is rising requiring urgent attention. We will witness atleast 0.5 lakh people outside India for huge meet and security concerns doesn’t figure at the top. Politicians are culpable for giving support to relatives and a huge foul play that doesnt find any space of execuse. The crisis is brought up by severe wide corruption at work , the infrastructure are not ready before 50 days of countdown to CWG. Besides, the National players are not given sufficient assistance in practise play , essentially required to perform better but again the question is ‘why’? The whole locus of CWG is not at its original place but shifted at an arbit location.

The situation is either ‘Shape in or Ship out’ for us before the D-day. Hope we would make this event huge not by just flaunting opening and closing ceremony but also by the glory which our players will bring to us. All the best !!
