Even after several years of experience in the field of politics and having able bureaucrats under their control...if these ministers are still not able to run a country then I think nothing else will help.
But yes I think having a better role model other than our soft-spoken and shy PM might have helped.

P.S: This is unrelated but if you like my entry for the 'Share Life' contest pls do cast a vote. Vote only if you like the post though...thanks :-)

Nice read. I just wish that Mr. Singh had cracked the whip earlier this year and we might not have got such a bad press.

A right time for citizens to ask for accountability for every invested penny and reckless action by people concerned.

it is rare to find a person who gets into politics to serve people and the country... now the only aim is to serve themselves and their family for ages to come! but there are still few gems around... I agree!

I enjoyed reading your post as I always do...great to know about the last minute cleaning up...do look under the carpets too, Sharmila, it may all come back to the streets the day after the games...:D
We are Crisis people...nothing else propels us ever!

Of all the CWG jokes making the rounds, the most appropriate is probably the one that surmises that the word "Calamity" owes it's roots to the Sanskrit word "Kalmadi"---Eg--"The games are going to be a complete Kalmadi", or "It's a Kalmadi waiting to happen." While he is not the only "Gillty" party to the loot and pillage (surely Delhi babus have a glorious and uninterrupted history of this), the Prime Minister's gentle slap on the wrist at the eleventh hour is too little too late.
Today's news tells us of an Indian athlete who's bed, (no doubt crafted of the finest sawdust that the remains of the siphoned funds could buy)collapsed whan he sat on it.
While the games will go on, and India will win a record number of medals, thanks to star international athletes having already pulled out, you can be sure this is not the last of the collapsed bridges and beds.
It is no coincidence that the games now have a new PR Chief, who presumably will get more dirt swept under the carpet than dirty linen exposed in public. More 'Kalmadis' will happen--we just may not get to hear of them.

Wonderfully written post.

Your post paints a spectacularly different picture of Delhi as compared to all the stories on the TV and the news website.

It is always nice to see such a transition. And as a proud Delhite, you must be hoping that things are this good - now and always.

But one thing is for sure. This kind of transition was expected to be done some time back. But as always, better never than late.

It's too little too late. But let's hope no more disgrace comes our way. Really it's such a shame, when the whole world is watching.

We dilliwalas can only wish things don't go worse than this.

Absolutely spot on Sharmila. Why only disciplinary skills....they need to be trained to be honest, committed , non corrupt ...and the list goes on. I doubt if there's any school whcih could impart these skills to our corrupt bureaucrats and politicins.Most are beyond redemption.
