The Common (wealth) Delusion..

'

Operation CWG'; this is the headline that somehow paves its way through to the front page everyday. Just for the record, this is the final try by the government, to save the country from a bag full of muck..err.. shame. So on a lazy Sunday when I was browsing through the newspaper, I came across the article by Shobha De, titled 'Politically Incorrect'. Shobha De being an renowned Indian writer and columnist, gives her view on the current Commonwealth Games state.
I, too hold the opinion that the Aussies really have shown plenty of love for the Indians, from bashing up Indian students to asking their athletes to boycott the Commonwealth Games. We are highly obliged  by the gesture Dawn Fraser. So since Micheal Fennell has given a thumbs up to the security and called it as 'top class' and 'very sound', Shobha politely wants to convey a message to Fraser, 'Don't bother to come'.
As much as i would like to believe that the preparation is going at a good speed, we still continue to lack in some of the basic requirements for the games. Now one of the recent articles put in focus the ambulances that will be for the players at the games, haven't yet arrived. To add to the ignorance, the training of the manpower has not begun yet. The same article also highlights the training put into action by England for the 2013 Olympics. Planning malfunction Delhi or just the power of corruption?

It seems like the Great Indian drama being showcased on national television, Suresh Kalmadi in the lead. Supporting actors Mr. Gill and Mrs. Dikshit. I guess the real life politicians are inspired by the reel life Peepli Live.

To sum it all, i would like to ask just one question, even with such pressure, will aaall be well...?
We shall see!
