Time to make your blood boil

You had been asked to organize the biggest event your country will ever host. Your nation’s pride was at stake; after all you were the third developing country to host the Commonwealth games. Your country won the bid amidst much high drama way back in 2003 and you had almost seven years to prepare for Delhi2010. You twiddled your thumbs and acted busy. You made elaborate arrangements for your post retirement funds and your bank balance went northwards. With barely two months to go, you suddenly realize your ass is on fire with the media gunning for your life. All of sudden, reports of collapsing ceilings, broken floors and loose railings in the so called ready stadiums are surfacing. What bull crap is the media propagating!!! Don’t these morons know that all these sports venues are architectural and engineering marvels, built to collapse at the mere mention of rains?

Now you have gone ahead and produced another marvel – commonsense defying contracts.

The world’s best treadmill can be purchased from Harrods for Rs 7 lakh. But why buy when you can hire and that too for an astronomical amount. Ever heard of treadmills and cross trainers that can be hired for just under 10 lakh for 45 days, neither had you till you started exploring new avenues to splurge the tax payers money. TOI is now suggesting you can build the world’s costliest gym by leasing jogging machines. At least someone is talking sense.

A roll of tissue which barely costs Rs 35 in the market is being bought for an astonishing Rs 4,138 for the wiping pleasure of the athletes. And mind you these are no ordinary tissues but well mannered tissues and say thank you with each wipe.

You can take shelter under state of the art umbrellas hired for Rs 6,308 and cool yourself with a drink from a 100 L fridge hired for Rs 42,202 each. Tired already? How about sitting on a chair rented for Rs 6,308 and don’t forget to switch on the A/C that was purchased for a mere Rs 4 lakh.

And now all these good for nothing news channels are splashing these item numbers as breaking news!! Shame on them – don’t they know that you are simply doing your nation proud by squandering common-wealth and making the Con-wealth games a grand success?
