yeah, london olympics is going to cost them 2200 crores but cwg will cost us 70000 crores. we dont hear farmer deaths in england, 70,000 crores would have been helpful to a extremely large no of families to lead a decent life. howmuchever grand opening or completion of game it might be. it is not what india wants... it is like celebrating your kids birthday spectaculary and not having money to feed and school. we sure r a shameful lot but to forget corruption so fast and accept whatever happens. india is sure hopeless

Its people like you which saddens me immensely something we are trying to achieve let us atleast appreciate the effort. Understandable and appreciate what you say but are we always to handle misery in our country? let us also learn to accept success stories like this and stop being cry babies!

There are some poor people here in this forum who have never heard of terms like Soft Power of a country.
So Gitanjali & Clinton, do not feel bad b'coz of such ignorant people.
They are like a typical baniya who can never understand why companies spend money on advt. They r people with a small vision and even narrower outlook to life.
Be that as it may, we should cheer for the sake of our country and take the burden of carrying such pessimists along.
Btw, country spent 70K crores not entirely on the games but also for infrastructure like the new world class airport in Delhi, Metro and stadiums.

And I am sure if we were able to somehow get rid of the corruption then the 70K Cr spending would have come to 20-30K Cr. The rest 50k Cr is in pockets and lost in mis-management.
Very expensive mela, if compare other mela, half of the money credit to kalmadi,shela dixit,congress party,sonia mino,rahul mino, etc... 6 times more than the spending of Melbourne game. The money all gone to someone personal accounts.

out of Rs.70,000 Cr. max amount (about 40-50%)is used for infrastructure in delhi which has lack of basic ammunity.

Right, because of CWG, the infrastructure of Delhi has been completed on time and ahead of schedule, if it was done through normal channels, it would have taken a very very long time...
I will have to find an appropriate word to depict the quality of opening ceremony of CWG 2010 at Delhi. The word like outstanding, sensation, awesome, brilliant, excellent are suitable but not the best to define the ambiance of fully packed stadium& Enjoyed each second of three hour ceremony.

The sharads and bhujbal pay their taxes to sonia mania and rahul So they will never be punished. Even if India is shamed or their mother is shamed or their wife is shamed they only know the language called Money
Problem exists everywhere in the world and India is not free from it. But, when sometimes world praises India for something, why some people cannot digest it?
Aerostat epic center of opening ceremony has reflected highest level of corruption in this country.aerostat which would have cost not more than 25 crore has been purchased at mind boggling price of 7o crores.Over and above this the most corrupt person kalmadi was allowed to give opening speech from the podium where our great PM was also seated.what a showcase to the world.The dazzling lights in the stadium are not good enough to blind people to see rampant corruption invoved in the game.Even song sung by A R REHMAN WAS NOT WORTH ANY THING WHICH HAD A COST OF 5 CRORES.YES hariharan gave an outstanding performance.Ugly episodes have certainly outshadowed the extravagant opening ceremony of cwg.Atleast the indians will not digest it.

Agreed. But it is a slap on the media like HT which have been highly negative about India's preparedness to field the games.Such media should tender an open apology.

this is what happen in india that if the game be a success people will forget about the huge huge corruption behind that c'wealth games and everybody will get scott free.
We have pulled off a spectacular opening ceremoney. It should go down as the best ever cwg. Thanks for organizers to put up a such a good show after all the bad start it has got.
Showing india's rich culture was a good thing. Thanks to all the people who made this possible.
The warm classy cultural events blew me off my feet..we have efficient dubba and cycle wallahs as well as technocrats and art directors and host of xhildren and youth to participate with enthusiasm..nobody can stop INDIA

With all these oldies and PM and his wife, Advaniji, and host of others, it looked like a Senior Citizens Gallery!

It is always like this. Oldies sit and watch whilst bright young men and women march in the arena.
