I waited for a couple of days after opening ceremony to put in my views.
The biggest plus point in India is it's Cultural Diversity..
Why did I say so? Just remember the way the visual media , newspapers tried to bring out all the scandals, corruption and the irresponsibility of the whoever organized the CWG(all included) were all forgotten the way the cultural diversity took the central stage in the opening ceremony and termed it as a one of the most grand opening ever seen.
The way Delhi look changed.The way Delhiites see Delhi changed.The way all people came together to make this a wonderful experience for all those came from other countries. And as for our own experience we know very deep inside and regularly say that no matter how sweet this looks from outside, its still gonna be bitter from inside. Let this CWG finish off, Delhi wud change to the old way.
I can't understand why are we so speculative about impressing foreigners when we ourselves know that whatever changes are made now are just momentary . Did the government forget that there are already enough foreigners already living in Delhi as part of their duties in the embassies? They saw both Delhi before CWG and will continue to see after that. If its for tourism promotion, I think its a wrong step towards a long journey, I said long journey cos you cant change things in a fortnight specially the culture that's in blood of most of the Indians.
The main problem with Indians is that whatever good things they receive or get they are not able to sustain it for long. See how clean the streets are, see how most of the traffic rules are followed, see how the bus shelters are maintained. Just one question how long they are gonna remain so?? I hope and wish at least the cleanliness to be taken care off.
To be Continued.....
