Who should open the 2010 Commonwealth Games?
The latest controversy to hit the Delhi Commonwealth Games is the question of who is going to inaugurate it.
The opening ceremony for the two-week sporting event, held every four years for former British colonies, is on Oct 3.
Some media reports said there had been a row between India and Britain over whether India’s president, Pratibha Singh Patil, or Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne who is standing in for Queen Elizabeth at the ceremony, would open the Games.
A spokesman for the British embassy, however, said Prince Charles would open the Games and denied there was any controversy. Some media reports said a compromise was reached between the Indian president and Prince Charles.

I think Kalmadi should inaugurate, participate, win medals, sleep in the village and close the games too.

Rahman, who performed the song titled “Jiyo, Utho, Bado, Jeeto” to a cheering crowd, said he hoped “people like it and it becomes the spirit of whole Commonwealth Games.”
Listen to the song by going to the official site here and tell us if you like it or not.
With all due respect…… CWG has already created a bad impression in the mind amongst us. as the saying goes anything associated with it becomes even worse….. which may be the reason why the song didn’t click.
