I will return to read more of your posts. I love the professional quality of your blog and look forward to reading more of it. Have a wonderful time in South Africa. We were sorry Invictus was in the theaters here for such a short time, but we recently watched the DVD. It is a wonderful movie with an outstanding portrayal of Nelson Mandela by Morgan Freeman.

And for those who are wondering, these are official CWG products (and not the fake ones !). I must admit that i was initially looking for the fake ones, but impossible to find them on Janpath, so then, on my way back home, I found the CWG Organising Committee building !

The Inaugural ceremony will be a TV spectacle....off course you wont see the pigeons shitting all over the city! A few more athletes will be banned for drug abuse so you wont get to focus on the sport. Kalmadi will be banished to Pune to count and then try hide his stash of cash. . Delhites will shrug their shoulders as we are want to do - Oye Ki Farak Phenda! The venues, if they remain standing, will become playgrounds for predators! All the "cash" made by those involved will eventually come back into circulation so the infrastructure and consumption story of our economy continues. I suspect Aunty Shiela will probably get bitten by a dengue carrying mosquito so we continue to feel sorry for her (for all her sympathisers - she has screwed up BIG time!). Uncle MSK (that is our PM for those not in the know) will waffle a bit more......including at Founder's and then when the big chiefs visit later in the year. One thing for sure - life goes on......Big M has a sophisticated cab and an even more smart and savvy cabbie........Surdy let Poonam aunty loose on Big at Founder's - should be fun!
