Wacka Wacka to balle balle

Wacka wacka - It's time for Africa. Africa proved it. Long under the shadows of apartheid, they have come out of the shackles and proved what they are capable of by hosting the FIFA 2010. A job well done.

Balle balle - Now it's time for India. We are hosting the Commonwealth Games in October. It is a matter of great pride. It is a beginning of an exciting journey where India is going to be at the International limelight. It was always my dream to see India host games as big as CWG.

It is time for India to take inspiration from Africa and host the CWG. New Delhi is getting ready for the big day, but lot of questions are raised over the completion the project. Will the stadiums be ready? Will we be able to provide world class infrastructure - training stadiums? These are difficult questions to answer. To add to this, there are serious allegations of corruption. But spare a thought for M S Gill, who took over the sports ministry whose annual budget is just Rs.450 Cr and has made a huge progress.

For now, I just want to see the games to become a huge success. I salute the spirit of people in Delhi for their tremendous display of patience. I am a proud Indian . We have shown the world that we are capable of successfully hosting CWG and we will surely able to host Olympics one day. Indians also love other sports, it's just not cricket.
