New Delhi,the capital city of the so called-Sovereign socialist secular democratic republic INDIA is ready to organize the 19th edition of one of the prestigious sport events i.e Common Wealth Games.
I really don't know what it takes a government to organize such an event successfully,but being a citizen of India I would surely like to see that event a successful attempt so that we can get responsibility to organize other such events which necessarily boosts the reputation as well as the economy of a nation.But the way the government is reacting to the requirements of the event clearly shows that we will not be able to encash this wonderful opportunity.Watching all the construction work or we can say the demolition(whatever) sometimes frustrates me to an extent that I can't tell(censored).
I wonder what has purely Indian govt done for India in these 60 years of independence instead of providing housing facilities to the politicians (I can't say them to be ministers).The only good they have done here is the establishment of Metro Rail,hats off to Er. Sreedharan for that.Whatever else we have here is the gift from the rulers of Delhi Sultanat and Mughals and we should be shamed that we are not even able to protect them to the extent they deserve.We can't say that it is a safe place to live in,we can't say that here people obey Law and Orders,we can't say that here every citizen is having enough food to eat,enough space to hide their heads,enough opportunities to work,enough opportunities to learn and list is pretty long.Then what our govt is doing?It is not even able to make its capital city an ideal place for its citizens then what can we expect from other state governments?The funds cannot be the problem as both state and centre is being governed by the same political party so no problem of cooperation also.
I know it is not the time to think about making it such a place but to think on how to organize CWG 2010,but watching the steps the Delhi govt is taking clearly shows that they are not having any co-ordination among various departments working to make this event a success,they are taking all the decisions in haste without thinking for the results.Finally the steps which forced me or caused enough of frustration to write on this post are that the govt is lacking the passion to do something good for the betterment of the nation and this is clear with still (at this time of urgency) the prevailing corruption among the officials,they are still looking for every opportunity to fill their pockets with gold and money.The worst step which I think is to force the 'chaiwala' and 'andewaala' thela from our college gate which was the only source of good food and tea for us.This was done because they couldn't bribe the policemen (as told to me by Andewaala).If the govt. is so much sincere in cleaning the streets of Delhi then rules should be strictly followed and be equal for all.While we can see a big board outside the JNU campus clearly mentioning-"College ke 200m k dayire k andar dhumrapaan tatha nasheele padarth bechna kaanooni jurm hai" then why just opposite to the IIT campus in SDA market still a licensed Wine shop existing, the reason is obvious.
Now I don't want to go further in bringing out the shortcoming of the honorable CM Mrs Sheila Dixit but I really HOPE to see a grand opening ceremony,a successful event progression and a decent closing ceremony so that we can also claim that we have the potential to be the strongest economy in the world.
JAI HIND!!

Hate it -when steady
Its been long its been hard
22 yrs of life have already gone
I was a kid when dreamed
Of something I still am not
While being kid we were told
Follow your dreams kid
impossible is none!
I tried hard I believe
But still unsatisfied
The reason for this
I still can’t find
Life so far
Had always been so violent
Had always been so fast
And now when its steady
Its becoming really hard
I don’t know the reason
And I can’t figure it out
But Oh Lord!!
I am tired of it now
When people ask me
what u wanna do?
And When I do tell them
They tell me to stop being a fool
Its life they say and not a fairy tale
Be practical and settle for something suitable
from whatever u get
Its a life I know
And not very long too
But isn’t it our duty
To live it the way-we want to??
My aims are still clear
And still unachieved
and I don't wanna settle
without trying hard them to achieve
Oh Lord!
Give my life some pace it is lacking
and I don’t want it to be stable
Before it reaches
the state which I can enjoy
forever!!
