Commonwealth Games-all is well that ends well

What we have witnessed in the last fortnight or so is nothing but spectacular. The negativity surrounding the start of the XIX Commonwealth games in New Delhi was transformed into a positive tide by the end of it. 

After an awesome opening ceremony and scintillating performances of the indian athletes at the CWG ,the games has come to fascinating conclusion, kudos to all the people like technicians,organisers, volunteers sports  persons, and all those who were involved in the conducting of Delhi CWG games. The headlines across the world have changed and how. Ten days ago they read: "Games are running on empty" and "What's wrong with the Games today?" But now after the successful staging of the Delhi Commonwealth Games, topped off by a glitzglam closing ceremony on Thursday, an overwhelming majority of the foreign media is singing praises - some fulsome, a few grudging - about the way the Games were overall conducted.  It was very pathetic of Indian media who instead of raising the morale of Indian sports fedration created a contorversy of the people involved in this games! Indian sports fedration have successfully came unscathed of all the CRITICISM by the media and proved that india can host any sporting event. This games has brought INDIA in the global sporting scenario..

Athletes with their sheer grit and determination tried to ensure that the mega event would be remembered for all the right reasons.

Indian players, with the home support behind them, raised the level of their game and made the impossible possible. No one had believed before the start of the games that india would finish with 38 gold and cross the century mark in terms of the total number of medals.

There is no greater proof of the success of the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi than CGF president Michael Fennell hailing it.

The Commonwealth Games Federation chief, however, refused to single out anyone for the splendid show.

"I think it was team work. You can't credit the success to any one individual or organisation. There were a few things that were not going right and the Delhi government and the Indian government put into a lot of resources to help correct the situation.

"Certainly, the federation has to share the responsibility of getting it right and we provided the direction and the expertise that we had available.

"All in all, we were able to mobilize corrective actions to see that the Games got off to a good start and ran successfully. But many, many people were involved in the success," Fennell said.

Unfinished work, monsoon rains, extended deadlines and controversies  may have led sceptics to write off the Commonwealth Games as an organisational disaster. 

The furnishing of apartments, beautification and construction of the approach road was also incomplete at the much talked about Games village situated on the banks of river Yamuna.

The  report of the autonomous Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) had cast a long shadow. The corruption watchdog had pointed out poor quality of construction material and grant of work to ineligible agencies in several projects. As per the CVC’s Chief Technical Examination Wing, large-scale procedural violations, including corruption, have been noticed in 16 projects.

Another scandal surfaced over the award of contract to a company in Britain allegedly without following proper procedures. But CWG organising committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi has vehemently denied all allegations. He said these charges were “baseless” as proper trails existed to establish that all transactions were within law and above board. There were worries regarding a lack of spectators at venues and swimmers falling ill and blaming the water quality of the training pool.

Vijay kumar malhotra, president of the General Association of National Sports Federations (GANSF), said: “There is a general sense of antipathy, cynicism, concern, worry about the Games. The common man on the street is worried not only about the massive corruption but also about the image of the country.”

But India’s top sports officials  proved to the nation and the 71 participating teams that they were ready to host the “best ever” Games.  State of the art stadia, foolproof security and modern day transportation systems were showcased for the world to see.

And the closing ceremony was a stirring success. Indeed, some officials who before the games fought over who should be blamed are now fighting over who should get credit.....

Words of Wisdom for Freshmen

College is the institution where people who have been telling their parents to treat them like adults for the past four years realize that it's more fun to act like a kid. 


It's a place where an eighteen-year-old has their best opportunity in their life excell.. College is not just an institution for higher learning that your parents tried to convince you it was while you were in High School, instead it's a sociologist's wet dream where people from ever nook and cranny around the globe converse on one place. It's the real "Real World". 


Picking the right university is the first major decision you will be forced to make in your quest for knowledge. There are many reasons to pick one university over another. There’s location, size of the college, cost, availability of classes.Most have a much more rigid screening process........ 
<though i screwd d last two yrs f my high school >


As a freshman your first experience at getting around campus is Orientation. At my Orientation I came to the realization that I'm going to fail out of school if my lectures are even one tenth as boring as the Dean's ‘Welcome to the University’ speech. 

Lots of thoughts passed through my head as various administrators and alumni gabbed on about their first year of college. I realized that I would never see any of these people again unless I do something amazing or amazingly stupid that forces me to meet with them and chances are it would be the later.


Once we were sufficiently orientated with the campus, it was time to meet with our advisor. Your advisor is someone who acts like he wants to help you and guide you through this maze called college but ultimately wants to go home and try to forget that he is going to be in college for the rest of his life. We chit chatted for a few minutes before he broke into the interrogation. He asked me what I’m interested in?


Interests?!?

What are the interests of 18-year-old college students?i don't think my interests are relevant in our conversation. Then he asked me questions I had no answer for, like, "What do you want to do with your life?" "How do you think your college will help you achieve your goals?” and “What are your long-term plans?”


I didn't have any long-term plans, for that matter my short-term plans consisted of going to lunch . My advisor persisted in his questioning to which i had no answers.


Now d 9am class is sheer torture and anyone who says otherwise should be shot on sight. The reason your GPA is related to the class time is because of the fact that you will not go. It comes down to when you look at the two blinking dots on you alarm clock after you've snoozed for the sixth time and instead of getting up you're laying in bed guessing what song will be on the radio the next time the alarm goes off. Only after your neighbor has had enough with listening to the start and stop of music from their adjacent room is when you actually contemplate getting up for the day. Let it be known that a 9am class in college is the equivalence of arriving at a normal 9-5 job at 4 in the morning; it's simply unheard of. 


Even if you manage to adequately attend you earliest class, sometimes there are other distractions and obstacles, which pose a problem for your later classes. 


College is an exam; there are tests all the time, and most importantly, the majority of test you take in college are not taken in the classroom. 


Class is an important part of college life; it's the true bona fide college part. At very least it's the part that those two people about a generation older than you only care about and if you want to continue to stay on your paid for vacation called an education, you'll learn how to fit in into you busy schedule of Tequila and watching the sunrise.

Sometimes there are obstacles in your way to class, for example finding the class is a popular obstacle. I believe this is the university's first means of weeding out freshmen..


Oh, not familiar with the weeding out process? If you attend an oversized  university the admissions is notorious for booking more freshmen than they can hold for the four years. My guess is that the airlines and the universities are in cahoots to just screw everyone. One theory for their over-acceptance is that freshmen bring in more revenue than any other class. Think about it, when you a freshman you stay in the university dorms, eat at the university eateries and buy books at the university bookstore. 

In other words they have a high acceptance rate because freshmen are suckers....
