BoycottSometimes, being a common man makes us feel so helpless, I felt the same today after reading so many demotivating stuff on CWG, 2010. Me and most of us slog daily and face various situations during the course of the day, when we work for our daily bread. As a law, we follow all rules and pay taxes to the Govt so that we reap the benefits of being a citizen of a developing nation, expecting basic amenities of better roads, well managed traffic by the traffic police, basic hygiene, electricity, water and off course extra steps towards bringing changes the future of the nation and making history some times.
The making of CWG has made me feel like a feud, who contributed enough for all the objectives to be met but the ordeal is that crores of rupees has been transferred to the pockets of the concerned CWG people.
I, therefore feel sad that how, my/our money is building luxuries for others. I am personally very sad but not pessimistic at the same time. Govt has simply taken up the habit of living on other people's money, I think this is what was once termed as Feudalism, that you work and share the bigger percentage with the owner and not the earned percentage.
I have thus decided to boycott CWG at personal level, although i know its not going to help anyone in anyway.
(The ordeal becomes even worse when I think what would have been the case if the same crores of money would have been used for other important things in India, like simply upgrading basic amenities and not major modifications. We would have simply better roads, electricity and water.)
I still wait to see any positive effects of the great upgradation for CWG at the ground level but at the same time I am thankful and I appreciate what ever visible beautification that has happened in Delhi including metros.
I just wanted to park my thoughts some where so I wrote this bit and I don't intend to do anything beyond this.. no awareness, revolution, no nothing.
The Pragmatic.
