~A Splendid Prelude~

The stupendous response to the opening ceremony of CWG proved me wrong big time!! Am truly enthralled, ballistic, excited, etc. etc., that I had tears in my eyes while watching the entire ceremony!!I was elated that we have put up a great show to the world, when not only world's media but our own private news channel had given up on the success of this event. Truly, a show which was magnificent, grand, elegant and a true representative of our vast and diversified culture- from north to east and from south to west! The world saw our nation ~Incredible India~ with colors, lights and fireworks it was a perfect master piece.

This also highlights the fact we are on our way to the league of sports based nation!! With one of the biggest contingent of 600+ participants. Indian contingent was welcomed with roaring of 60,000 spectators, I am sure the players would perform better to leave an everlasting impressions on the mind of Indians!!! Not to forget, there are predictions, that after these games India would rank no.2 amongst the world in sports.

One of the largest democracy, went ahead and proved again!! All the Media negativity created around these games was tarnished and again it's the "belief" that won today!! The faith of million people- The common man for whose benefit we bid for this event in the first place. As Common Wealth Games is a representation of the common man - friendships and equal opportunities for all. And the common man was there - as a participant, sport person, audience, volunteer, security personnel, politicians, and the event was a success for the same reason.

Few Quotes from the Ceremony:

" It was our dream to make India a game focus nation. 70,000 million hours of hard work, prying eyes of the world media, bout our determination got us here. The upcoming SUPER-POWER India is ready to host the Common Wealth games!"
~ Kalmadi's Address at the Ceremony

" It is a historic and proud moment for the city of Delhi and for all of us! Great sporting spectacle unfold."
~ Dr. Manmohan Singh's address at Common Wealth Games

" ..... to take part in the honor of Common Wealth and the glory of the sport"
~ Oath by Abhinav Bindra at Common Wealth Games Opening Ceremony

It always happens in sports that "One Man plays and the entire Nation Wins"! So today we won the respect, pride, honor!!!

One a nostalgic note, this is also my 100 post on this blog!! And what a post it is!!! Cheers to everyone who's behind putting such an electric show, am sure all the million billion Indians would go to bed today as proud Indians. Jai hind!

"Promise ........

......... are like the full moon, if they are not kept at once they diminish day by day” ~





Since long I have been really thinking to write about this one, as am once again on the crossroads of life. Wonder why people always over promise and under deliver. I am a BPO product hence life science comes easy to me, by which I mean I keep my promises else I don't commit no matter if it causes hurt or not. Much to my dismay I see people committing big time yet not delivering results! I have faced this challenge both at personal and professional front. Professionally, am very receptive to slack on someone else end. Hence am well equipped to take it head one or definitely have a back up plan.

On personal end it's kind of heart breaking, because one chooses their relationships with people around them. However the worst that could happen is a person breaks all the emotional bond and keeps talking about the materialistic commitments made! That's really like the heights of everything. On the contrary there are people in my life am glad to have as they went extra-miles to fulfill their promise.

I am an average person- nothing extra ordinary, working my way professionally, have dreams and busy chasing them happily. But what I am bad at is judging people and I accept it. I believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact! So promises kept or not am living my life to the fullest :"> but it may turn out that after few more disasters I may stop taking promises.
