With the count down towards the D-day of the XIX Commonwealth games 2010 rapidly decreasing, there has been a great amount of hype and violent rhetoric of blame-game going on in the media and thousands of Indian minds without sparing millions of anticipating fans world wide. Leave aside the world beyond the Indian barriers, but thousands of Indians themselves have begun relentlessly finding faults with the Organizing Committee. There might be fraud, or corruption in the massive investment towards the establishment of infrastructure for the games. But, there is a more subtler point to note before openly showcasing one's anger. Where are we going with this? Who is at fault and who is to suffer? Money spent is already spent and cannot be retrieved by unnecessary arguing.
It is highly important that we show the world what India is. The Commonwealth Games or any event of its ilk is not just an event about athletes and participants. There is a greater audience that will escalate the levels of grandeur and success. This is a great opportunity to showcase to the world, the great culture and heritage of India, the levels of development and talent inherent in the Indian community and above all, the strong ability of India to host such magnificent events. This should not be a time when we start blaming our officials and the Organizing Committee for their mishaps and mistakes. Rather, every responsible Indian rise to the cause of promoting Indian culture, cuisine, custom, technology, tradition and heritage. Instead of bursting one's anger on the status quo of the CWG, let us join hands and loud voices to call out to the world to come and taste the saga of our INCREDIBLE INDIA!. Let us get together to make a loud and clear call from a 1.2 billion Indians to the greater world that Come-What-May, we are there for them and that they would have a successful, secure, safe and comfortable trip to India, that no terrorist or radical fanatic could disrupt the proceedings of the event. The success of the Games will come to the whole of India at large rather than Mr. Kalmadi or Mrs. Sheila Dixit and failure at a much greater cost that holds India's reputation as a country at stake. And hence, what I can say is that if you cannot popularize and campaign our grand history, please do not work to defame our country. Let us begin to spread this message of support to the organizing committee and make the XIX Commonwealth Games as Indian CWG as the best among those till date.
