An Unusual Trip to Capital- The CWG Hosts

To overcome the need of getting some change, I recently had visited to my sister’s place in Delhi for a few days. And, here I am, writing this post just to share some glimpse of this memorable trip. I am very much in fascination with Delhi as a place to visit. Not only because I have free place to live and fuel sponsored car to roam over there, but also because every piece of information talks about India as a nation. One can get more of a feeling of India Viz-a-Viz U.S./Britain from Delhi, as compared to Indore Viz-a-Viz Delhi/Mumbai/Bangalore/Hyd from Indore. However, Indore meri jaan has its own advantages of calm & peaceful life, which one can never get in Del/Mum/Bang/Hyd.

After experiencing this trip, I strongly believe that having the delightful experience of travelling & visiting some new place at least twice a year is very important. As the aquarium needs a change of water after every particular period of time, our mindset also needs to resettle and reshuffle after every particular period of time. And, adventurous trip is the wonderful solution for the same.

“Ayodhyaa Vs. Common Wealth”... This is the match which was talked about all over the nation at same span of time, and to have a close nit with the result of this match, one can’t be at a better place than our Capital, the host of CWG, Delhi.

However, CWG was the clear winner, cause Ayodhyaa verdict was being dismissed by the Indians completely. Every mind was set on statement- “We have grown after 1992, the verdict is over, can we now move on, please?” Talking about the winner- CWG~Delhi- I feel so proud for being an Indian whenever any good news related to Common Wealth is known. While the visit, three most interesting things to be noted where- Security, Infrastructure & Positivity.
- We had visited some of the games venues from outside just a day before the launch. The kind of security which is been set all over Delhi, with lakhs of police men and 3000+ security camera’s deserves a huge round of applauds.
- Infrastructure has taken a huge leap, it was quite unique and best of its kind. We expected little disgraces, they happened too (Bridge debacle), but our honourable Army landed up on commitment and expectations, building the complete bridge in a short span of just 3 days.
- Positivity, was clearly visible in environment all over. You will get people talking on CWG, Radio Jockey hanging on a single cassette, local news channel showing the glimpse of venues etc...And very fortunately, the public has changed the negative mood which our shameful media has gifted in return of TRP madness, to an extreme positivity.

Mr. Kalmadi & Co. was being cursed a few weeks back, but the results which are coming up are super attractive. The kind of opening ceremony which was held was more than we expected & I am sure complete series of games would go on similarly with success. I am not saying, they were not corrupt and no action should be taken, I am just saying that- “We Should Not Underestimate the Power of Corrupt”, and post games would be the right time to analyze and give the judgment rather than ON-RADAR-OF-WORLD time. We as Indians curse and throw stones whenever anything wrong happens, but we fall little short in appreciating whenever something positive happens. I believe ‘The Art of Appreciation’ needs extreme enhancement.

All in all, having such a close view of event which is making us optimistically stall in front of whole world was vibrantly wonderful. This was the time to depart and to catch the train after such a fantastic dream like trip.
