Suresh Kalmadi - The scapegoat or the culprit?

Suresh Kalmadi's interview by Rajdeep Sardesai Almost felt sorry for the guy..He was so altruistic that he said "You can put all the blame on me.. after all I'm the face of CWG.." When challenged that 1400 rooms not ready as of yet he vaguely states "..only some rooms not ready.. some work not completed..But will be done in next 48 hrs!" Mr. Kalmadi as OC Chairman, you need not be ready with all the facts ..but atleast come clear on which were your responsibilities,the govt's & which didn't work out..Come on,we will not hang you for this.WE have let worser culprits roam freely!

CWG - What next??

Woke up today to yet another disgrace in CWG's chapter.. If I hadn't known better I would have sworn that somebody has deliberately jinxed the games from the beginning ... the foot bridge that was supposed to link one of the car parks to the stadium collapsed or rather as one person put it "..2 clips just gave away.. it was nothing serious.." As we know, this is just the latest of a series of issues marring the CWG ... The other one making the rounds in the News today...  As many as 4 countries have come back with complaints on the unhygeinic conditions of the CWG village ... stray dogs, construction workers defecating openly and in the apartments, cleaning work still going on in certain towers meant for the athletes, exposed electrical wires and the major highlight - construction work still going on when the cut-off date for completion is Sep 23rd 10..( for god's sake that is tomorrow !!)... Doesn't all this sound so familiar?? Go and see any construction s...

O my God I'm back again!!

I feel how I would have felt when I first started writing some 6 years back ... My hands feel rustic when they type in this page... why would they not ? I am writing after almost 1.5 years... Some of my blog friends wondered where I had disappeared to all this time... Everytime I used to get fired up for writing something I will come to this page..but then I would be caught up in something else... at home or office ... I realize now that I have been cut-off totally from the world outside...save for a few life saving friends I would have gone extinct from the social circles... I was just trying to repair the damage and started getting into active networking (Thanks to FB and Orkut!!)... and managed to find some of my very old school friends and some not so old friends... It struck me really hard when one of them commented "You vanished completely !!"   Yes. I thought .. in a way I have.. In this world if you are not plugged to your friends...
