Games with Wealth of Common - CommonWealth Games

6:25 AM Posted by iSachin 1 comment
You must be knowing National game, Asian Games, Olympic games but you would be wondering what are these Commonwealth Games all about? What is this CommonWealth?. Some might think this as may be related to gambling as it has wealth word in it. In our case it is gamble where Indian common public has lost lot of wealth. this apart you should must know what is the actual meaning of this Commonwealth.

Here is the most un-commonly know fact that: The Commonwealth of Nations, normally referred to as the Commonwealth and previously as the British Commonwealth, is an intergovernmental organization of fifty-four independent member states. All but two of these countries were formerly part of the British Empire. That means bunch of countries where British ruled, robbed it and now trying to teach the values which they themselves never followed.



In few weeks time we will be hosting this commonwealth games, I really don’t know why it is important to us because these games are going to get remembered reasons other than the games. we need to be practical as we are not a sporting nation, our priorities are not sports but to feed crores of hungry people. I don’t when there are so many people some how managing on one meal a day, How can we afford these costly games?. Any we are not going to do well after so much mud-slinging and bad name to the games. I wonder if these games go incident free.

Yesterday I heard about the scale to which the corruption has happened and those figures are mind bobbling. Originally the games where costing near 1500 Cr but as per some expert’s estimates it has crossed 1 Lakhs Cr and still counting. By this you can imagine the scale of corruption. The amount which was proposed to cost the whole games will not required for only opening and closing ceremony, this is kind of miscalculation happened or deliberately done by the organizing authorities.

Shamelessness of these people can be gauged from the fact that even though they amazed extra money but also used the substandard materials. They didn't stopped there they produced the fake certificate too. My biggest fear is because of these substandard construction there shouldn’t be an accident which would defiantly would do more damage that the corruption has. One more important thing is they have not finished with the constructions and most of the stadiums are not ready for the games with too little time in our hands.



It is very important to note that we are not talking about incompletion of the stadium without which no games are possible. Shows the amount of corruption and mismanagment happened. These bunch of thugs are holding our nations pride to ransom and asking insane amount of money for these games. We not have any option but to make available the money for it to successful execution of the games. Any way these games or management of these games have brought the bad name to the country and I fear more that it would be last attempt for major games in our country.

There was man name 'Mani Shankar Ayyar' who was saying against the games all the while, I was thinking that he has gone insane and we can afford 10000 Cr. We are not that poor after all but now I can see what he was seeing all the while. I think these are the game we should had not opted for but just pride of a person 'Suresh Kalmadi' which happens to be from our city pune has caused this embarrassment and more to come.

I deliberately not talked about the corruption in general as that is just a part of this and a entire book can be written on it but I shall be writing about it in future blogs so lets look forward to it. But as you all know how positive thinker I am after writing so much negative, I see a positive side to it let’s explore that.

Now at least we won’t go for these expensive games. Shall learn the lesson from these mistakes and never opt for such misadventures. Try not to host Olympics game for next 50 years as we don’t have the capacity to host these large games as the security situation is also not good. Basically avoid games and watch it on television as we do most of the time. Try to invest the money where it is need the most and that is for development of poor.

On that positive note lets hope that these games gets over quickly and without any incidents. I don’t know what your opinion is but if you have something please comment.

So lets cheer for India in these games and also like good host welcome everyone.
