Unhealthy Games

However I restrain  my self from writing about the Common Wealth Games,  the filth shrouded  around the same compelled me to write few lines.  I was happy to look at the photo  gallery of the stadia completed few days ago.  Kudos ! Our people are competent to "somehow" finish the work at the 11th hour despite  bad planning and disorganization. The only doubt which lurks our mind is how long these hurry bury built  multimillion projects last?Are they not meant to be used by future generations?

 In the sports village out of numerous  residential towers supposed to  host athletes during the games  only 35 to 40 are  completed and out of those completed few,  the felicities appear to be horrific in nature.Unlocked toilets are defecated by workers and water supply seem to be scanty. The rest of the towers might  take months to be completed,  while  Games are going to begin in first week of October. The foot bridge which connects parking lot to the spectators collapsed just few days before the games. The respective investigative report will be given after 15 days i.e exactly the day games commence. Mean while no body knows whether the said bridge will be resurrected or not.

Of course no one has control over the nature. The sports village it self is located in the swamps of Yamuna  which  incidentally  was in spate submerging the all the adjacent localities in recent times. Though the water level has receded now  the slushy  banks housed millions monster mosquitoes. No body can do any thing about rains too in context of  our existing infrastructure. The whole city of Delhi is dug for making it more beautiful for the games, we do not have exact figures of how many people fell into those grave yards during torrential rains. To what extant Delhi was made beautiful  only Delhites can tell us now.

Over and above all,  the entire saga of  games was filled  with scandals amounting to thousands of crores which we listen and read day in and day out and got immune. But we don't see any body being caught and punished so far and I guess all the scams will be hush hushed once  the games get over with stupendous success. "They have eaten all the money. So what? They have done the work",   that seems to be the atmosphere.

As if to add some flavour to the recipe, some assailants shot few rounds at the foreign visitors with an intention to discourage games tourism, to celebrate second  anniversary of   Batala House encounter. Why not ? Government it self is divided about shootings and victimizes the brave police officer heading the operation. Why should a terrorist be kind  to people?  (We had enough of these dirty  vote bank politics.Dying  People are just numbers in this game).

Let the money go down the drain or straight into the pockets whatever,  people are truly help less to stop this swindling .But what about the honour of this country.? Once again I try to remember 1983 Asiad which was conducted quite efficiently . It gave  confidence and pride to youngsters like us   that India is capable of conducting even Olympics in coming years. To day with sad note I have to make a remark that we are not even  competent to conduct common wealth games leave alone Olympics.  After 27 years of  more wealth and prosperity we miserably fail to conduct one event with  pride. We have scant regard for the honour and prestige of the country. We do not mind letting it down in front of international community. Literally we have sent our Mother India naked on the street where people all over the  world watch. 

This is a country ruled by crooks, managed by inept bureaucrats, unethical business houses, greedy realtors, powerless police,and liquor barons. The country is repeatedly cheated, abused, tormented and raped. Yet we cannot do any thing about it. This is the most desperate reality of living here.
