THE DAY AFTER.............POSTCARD AND THE GREAT HANGOVER

Today's spark for some inexplicable reason is lot less sparkier than usual. At the first go, I thought of giving it a pass. But the whole ambiance, despite being eerie on the surface, still seemed quite overwhelming and awe inspiring . I had to write something about this great hangover of the Capital city Delhi.

The day after, is an amazing contrast to the razzmatazz of the previous evening, the exhilarating display at the closing ceremony of the 19th Commonwealth Games. Suddenly the city isn't as hustly-bustly and I dare say, isn't quite as happy, as it seemed between 3rd of Oct and the 14th, that was yesterday. The whole feeling is akin to coming to an end of a big Indian Wedding. Think about the next day of wedding , when the bride leaves here parents place for her new home. A strange kind of quietness decends upon the bride's family. Isn't it? Think about it.

If you are in Delhi today, look around, look at the faces of Delhiites, you will understand what I mean.

CHEER UP DELHI! IT'S TIME TO SET OUR SIGHTS ON THE MOTHER OF ALL SPORTING SPECTACLES...THE OLYMPICS!!

ALL'S WELL THAT..BEGINS AND ENDS WELL ! SPORTY POSTCARD FROM DELHI TO GLASGOW AND THE REST OF THE WORLD

Delhi has not only done it, but it has done it with great elan. Everybody associated with organising the 19th edition of the Commonwealth Games 2010 at Delhi can pat themselves for hosting the games successfully. Given the amount of negative press before the start, I am sure the ask wasn't easy. But after a spectacular opening ceremony and an even grandiose finale, the host city has taken the bar to newer heights.

KUDOS DELHI!......... THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT.

ALL HANDS ON DECK.......IT'S TIME. A SPORTY POSTCARD FROM DELHI

It's been an absolute roller coaster. Hasn't it ? Though more lows than highs, but in the end, somehow Delhi has managed to get there. Much to the relief of the organisers and the State Government, who have had a torrid time over the last month or so . As the Commonwealth Games Delhi, 2010 gets underway little later in the evening, all eyes are set on the capital city. A grand curtain raiser will go a long way in putting all the bad press behind . GOOD LUCK DELHI !

WHAT A SHAME!.......POSTCARD AND THE PROJECT CALLED A GREAT LOOT

India may not find a place in the sporting hall of fame going my the medals tally and the world records, but it does make it to the top, as one of the most corrupt nations yet again. What a shame! The very people, responsible for ensuring the success of the most prestigious and eagerly awaited sporting event The Commonwealth Games, Delhi 2010 have succeeded in maligning the image of India in front of the whole world. Is it surprising? Definitely not. Looking at the track record of our khadi clad political honchos, this isn't a stray episode. India has been taken for a ride by such hoodlums in the past for their selfish gains.They have dirtied the image of this great nation many a times before. And if history is any indication, trust me we haven't seen the last of such heinous acts.... THINK ABOUT IT.

WHAT A SHAME!..............WHAT A SHAME!!
