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.."

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 in some way or the other , you can
