About the CWG issue

I guess people of Delhi will agree with my thoughts that Commonwealth games have brought us more discomfort and irritations than they are actually visible to the rest of the world (that includes anyone and everyone living outside Delhi). And trust me, the level of irritation goes off the roof, when your friends sitting in some cool school in the United States, or working in Madras or Bangalore casually comments -"Dude, you crib too much! You completely ignore the long term benefits these games will provide to the country!"

Yes, you guessed it right! I feel like telling them to shut the f*** up! It is really easy to sit thousands of kilometers away from the place and say - don't crib, see the larger picture! Sitting far far away, no one can understand the real pain of waking up 1.5 hours early in the morning, to beat the traffic jams caused by blocked CWG special lanes, and reach office on time! Sitting thousands of kilometers away, you cant really comment on the daily travel on the broken roads, where driving even the most luxurious car will seem like a camel ride, if the road you are travelling on is not near the CWG village! Sitting thousands of kilometers away, my dear friend, you can only comment on the awesome security arrangements our government is providing to the foreign athletes. But what you cant see, is that 15-20 minutes are added to my daily travel because of the barricades on the roads, supposedly kept there for vigilance. And what you don't have to bear, is showing your license and papers again an again to 2 different traffic policemen, at different places, on the same night, if by any chance you are returning late in the night from somewhere.

There has always been a mystery in my head regarding the traffic cops, who put up barricades and check random vehicles on the roads in the nights? I mean how do they decide which one to check and which one to leave? I have seen people talking on the mobile phone passing right in front of them, cars with hid lights or loud music passing sweetly in front of them. Then what do they see dude?

Anyways, in short what i wanted to say was, its good to read junk in your management courses books and then paste it on the face of the next person you see cribbing on the discomfort caused by CWG, but then sometimes, just sometimes try to use what God gave you free of cost - common sense!!
