Commonwealth Games-New Delhi 2010

[Sagrawal]

From TOI

"Saina won the final 21-19, 23-21, 21-13 at the Siri Fort Complex. "

[Singha]

but to be fair to the angrez, they compete as one in olympics but here northern ireland , wales and scots compete separately. they are still a lot ahead overall, but not out of reach if we work hard for a decade more and use these local psyops openings to claw at them.

[Lalmohan]

like i said before, its not the olympics, but its given the indian athletes a HUGE BOOST
like a strap on GSLV launcher

[AdityaM]

the third rate power occupies third position only!

[Dilbu]

It's currently England with 37 golds and 58 silvers. India, also, on 37 golds and but just 27 silvers. So the mathematics is fairly simple. If Saina wins India will move upto 38 golds and second in the medals position. If she does not win the gold, England will remain in second position on account of them having one more silver medals.

Jai Ho!

[Dilbu]

Chiru and Jagga, don't malign the name of Saina with Sania.

Sania did her best for the country but had to settle for silver. Let's not belittle her.

[Sagrawal]

So how many of you think that all the corruption allegations will be swept under carpet as we had very successfull games?

[jagga]

Me thinks,Yes they will be swept underr the carpet.

[chetak]

Chiru and Jagga, don't malign the name of Saina with Sania.

Sania did her best for the country but had to settle for silver. Let's not belittle her.

Earlier they had the daughter of the east and now they have the daughter in law of the east!

Both gas bags. Long on rhetoric and short on delivery.

[Murugan]

Our people have succeeded

Despite Government
Despite Print Media
Despite likes of Khujli TV (NDTV)

c'mon guys, no need to criticize sania... she won a medal

[IndraD]

,
AoA, FYI India is on 2nd rank in medal tally

[anchal]

I had a nanha doubt - by virtue of marrying a Pakistani, Sania has lost Indian citizenship. Now can a non-Indian represent India in multination events? If yes, why no Paki is raising hell as yet? My question might be stupid though

[Lalmohan]

poor taste guys, very poor taste

i know, i am referring to Angrez only

She is still Indian and hasn't surrendered her Indian citizenship. She will make load's of money as long as she has got Indian citizenship So I dont think she will ever surrender it.

The current perception of pakiland in India has ensured that her sponsorships and ad appearances have dwindled considerably.

I am sure that she knows what she is doing, hence the very very low profile and the almost complete absence of hubby from the India media scene. Other wise the moron was a sure contender for reality shows like bigg boss.

When hit hard in the batwa, most people come to their senses very quickly.

[archan]

The Ozzies really nailed us in the Hockey.....in front of a full house, too....How come they are so good at this?

Hope, like cricket, our folks will learn how to prepare and play like world champions.

[chiru]

Chiru and Jagga, don't malign the name of Saina with Sania.

Where are our pappi jhappis?

[SwamyG]

^^^^
Okay, I am still scratching my head. What do you mean?

[AdityaM]

closing ceremony start: DD doing the PR for Yuvraj & Rajmata!

"pappi jhappis" : Huggs & kisses to express your love for the lovely (pyaare)

[Singha]

closing ceremony is just about start....and the DD commentators just cannot help yapping and disturbing the tv viewers. vintage DD.

[IndraD]

closing ceremony begins...welcome to razzmatazz & music.

[IndraD]

Yes correctly said, DD is paying rich tribute to PM, Sonia, et al.

you can watch it on NDTV as well.

1. Spectacular starting of the closings ceremony.
2. Naga martial dancer awesome. Sardarji sword wielders most comical. Mallu in between
3. Performer look normal everyday people unlike the pre programmed clinical zombies of Beijing.
4. Completely world class look and atmosphere.
5. Spectators look pure TFTA. Not an SRDE in view.
6. Retard DD maintains the 1:10 ratio on content/commercial.
7. Commentators should be asked to STFU before they commit another Malawi type goof up.
8. Finally, why we need to be such hyperbole? The instadia announcers trying to outdo each other by announcing India super power, great tradition blah blah. We don’t need to to announce that.
9. Tri service band welcomed with great cheer. Giving an awesome performance. In my like I had never seen anything like these before. Not a note off scale. Not a step out of line. Bravo.
10. Most comical moment till now – Idiotic DD announcer saying “enjoy the crescendo” as the tri service band builds it up.

[Singha]

the military bands are going on too long - this isnt a dedicated beating the retreat!

Why dont the Indian media come up with such articles?

[chaanakya]

Congratulations to all players for making India proud. 38 Gold and 2nd position.
Closing ceremony is a treat to watch. No more ARH crap. Army Band playing sare Janah se anccha and children dancing to the tune of Vande mataram. Ever green songs.Colours of Holi. Fantastic

I hope they remind the world of India's contributions to the world science from Zero to water on Moon.

Some one has blogged on Times website "Let the Audit Begin"

Sir, leave the 'beating the retreat' and downhill sking to Pakis. We SDREs do only 'beat retreat'

[uddu]

The angrezi commentator (DD sports) as usual showed some Pakiness.

[Surya]

great job Saina

truly happy for her

Girl deserves everything and more

[uddu]

Why an auto? Why not a nano?
Things do change and the organizers seem not have thought about the change that happens.

[Victor]

Very apt mascot--a friendly tiger.

[saip]

Any links for live tv in USA for the closing ceremony?

The same to Kalmadi. People seem to be pressurizing Kalmadi to stop the speech.
