Commonwealth Games

Common wealth games committee has done an excellent job of marketing the games among Indian public. The queen's baton is being relayed all across India and through all states (including north east) however our over worked, very busy media doesn't have enough airtime to cover it.

The people and especially school kids are participating in these events and common wealth 2010 is going to lay foundation for sports development in India. We shall many sportsmen and sportswomen ready to represent India and win medals after 5-10 years.

The government has pulled all stops to use strengths of various agencies. The IRCTC has been instructed to facilitate book tickets online and already worth 10 crores tickets have been booked.

The one concern is food quality being served in Delhi. India is famous for spicy food and many visitors/foreigners/players may like to give all together different experience to their taste buds. The government seems to be in position to ensure safe food. The government has set-up a body named Quality Council of India which in consultation with health Ministry, Delhi will certify food and ensure food sold with its certification is of the best quality. The government is planning to entrust this body of providing certificates to food vendors and other eatable distributers later.

Mr. E. Sreedharan has provided best in class transport to delhi and I still feel bewildered and lost why in delay to set-up same facilities in rest of the 9 metro cities.

All the best to New Delhi and India. This game will be feather in cap of the people of Delhi.
