Now What?

Before we know it, the Commonwealth Games will be here. And they will be making new flyovers, sports complexes, and what-not all over New Delhi, all at the tax-payer's expense of course. And the bill? We probably can't even imagine.

So here we are, making flyovers to show off to other nations, when we don't have even a single pothole-free city. And what about the villages which don't have roads at all? And then there's a new sports complex set up, in Lonavla, Sahara's Amby Valley to be precise. How about encouraging sports at the school level to make most of it? All we did in school was marching (left, right, left!) and langdi. Only the students with pushy parents got special training privately.

And while we will be serving the who's who from the sports world exotic dishes along with Evian, some people will be wondering when they will get a steady supply of running water, and enough electricity to light one bulb...
