Common Wealth Games Mess

The Common Wealth Games, Delhi Govt's million dollar baby has turned out to be a million dollar mess. The so called world class facilities have been used by almost everyone except for the ones for whom they were originally built. We had Dogs sleeping and roaming on the beds, Laborers spitting their throats out and flooding the wash rooms, Mosquitoes breading and buzzing and a Cobra roaming around. 


If we give a hard thought to it, we will realize that the Dogs, Laborers, Mosquitoes and the Cobra were all part of the plan. It is not that they are un-invited guests who some how entered the restricted zone without any one knowing about them. They are a part of a bigger picture, a strategy, laid down to maintain the integrity of the CWG preparations. They were specially hired by the CWG committee as none other than the Facility Inspectors. 


Dog: The Dog was assigned the most important job of making sure that the beds were all comfy and nice. This was important, as what every athlete would require is a sound and comfortable sleep after a busy day in the field. The Dog ensured that the beds had the right amount of comfort level to ease out every bit of pain from the tired athlete's body. The athlete should get up fresh the next morning and give his/her 100%. 


Why Dog? : If someone with 4 legs (and a tail) can sleep on the bed why can't a two legged, tired, non-complaining, under pressure athlete sleep quietly.



Laborer: The laborer's role and scarifies can't be over looked. Out of all the Facility Inspectors, he had to endure a lot. To go against his health, he had to consume 15-20 Tobacco Pans (Indian mouth freshener) and consume 2 full bottles of Desi Tharra (Indian Scotch) everyday. Why? His duty was to spit out all the consumed Tobacco in the wash basins and Pee all the consumed alcohol in the Loo to check the durability of the underlying drain pipes. This was the ultimate test that even the drain pipe manufactures could not have accomplished. This ensured that what ever the athletes eat and drink will easily pass through the drain pipes and wont brake down mid-way through their stay.


Why Laborer? : The athletes won't be served the kind of food the average laborer eats. They will surely get far better quality of food. So, if the drainage system can handle the laborers, it surely will handle the athletes.




Mosquitoes: The mosquitoes had an equally important assignment to complete. They were brought in to ensure that the environment is Livable (at least for the CWG duration).


Why Mosquitoes? : If a mosquito, with a heart not bigger than a sugar grain, can live happily in the village, then why cant a healthy, worked out athlete with a heart weighing more than 200gms.




Cobra: You should hand it to the CWG committee. With the Cobra in their ranks they have hit two birds with a single stone. The Cobra, spotted near the Tennis Stadium was from the patrol party, out to do 2 things. He was ensuring that the Tennis Turf was playable and secondly he was acting as an under cover agent, hunting down the potential interruptions in the games (mice, moles, etc).


Why Cobra? : The Delhi police is busy guarding the CWG Lanes and the Military has been ordered to give a helping hand in fixing the broken structures in the State of the Art & World Class stadias.




This article might act as an eye opener and clarify some of the protocols and strategies put in order by the CWG committee for the nations who are thinking of pulling out of the games.


But who cares, its a WIN WIN situation for India. We might end up with few more GOLD medals this time :)  .
