CWG Updates

4 days, 100 men, and a brand new foot bridge ready to go. That's just one bright story in the CWG saga, which has taken a complete U turn in the last few days.

With less than two days to go, the CWG village is shining and sexy, the food on offer is mind blowing, the shopping is unlimited, the 5000 odd athletes and officials already in the village can't stop gawking, and every can look forward to the best games ever.

The security forces have taken over most of the venues with more than one lakh personnel on duty in the streets of Delhi, and helicopters, UAVs and fighter aircraft are on stand by and ready for any eventuality. Even langurs have been brought in to tackle the monkey menace in the games village.

The opening ceremony will be a 3-hour extravaganza showing the best of India's varied arts and culture, so make sure you make no plans on Sunday!

India will look to bag a record haul of medals, with tennis, badminton, wrestling, boxing, shooting and hockey being our best bets. Athletics and swimming is probably our weakest link, but who knows!

As they say, India is down right now, but it's simply because we are tasked with pushing the rest of the world up!
