THE ROAD TO COMMON WEALTH TO COMMON MAN

The world is a Global village is no longer a phrase for India.. India has taken the challenge to prove itself by taking the big leap by organizing the fourth largest sporting event, the common wealth games. India is determined to show its potential and no longer a county lagged in infrastructure and development. The country dares to dream big and show rest of the world that it can arrange major events like Common wealth. It is a big challenge for India as similarly it was for Beiging to organize events like Olympics. But is India ready?????

Indians are all excited to host such an event but is the capital ready?? Just few months left from the game but what is the reality like. In Delhi the situation is different. As the expectation is being elevated Delhi can feel the pressure of it. The venue is decided but the stadium is yet to be completed. Guests are invited but communication is yet to be regulated .Workers are requited but yet the metro track is not positioned.

Since many months the work process has gone slow and steady but recently the speed has been geared up as the game is not far. Infrastructures are being renewed, roads are being constructed, and the city is just being dressed like a bride.

Well the things are not that smooth. Being a delhite I can see as well as feel it. Everything is in turmoil. As to meet out the budget expenditure of the games, prices are blazing and common men have to take up its burden. Somewhere I feel there is a disjuncture, a misbalance.

The dream of globalization, economic development cannot be at the cost of the people of India. Well again we must all feel proud of the positive path that India have taken since 1947. The game is mounting huge pressure on the economy and we common men are being affected.

Well we all need to wait for the GAMES and wait to see INDIA being praised at the global level .
