No kissing please at the time of Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi, we’re Indians, ministry advises foreign visitors

August 29th, 2010 admin

New Delhi, Aug. 20 — A peck on the cheek while greeting a female acquaintance is “just not done” when you are in India.

Sole exception: Only if the acquaintance is a model or a beauty queen. Tourists should, however, discuss politics.

Most Indians love to talk politics and ‘have an opinion on which they will not mind being contradicted’. But equally, visitors should avoid discussing religion.

These are advices a website set up by the Common-wealth Games Travel Office, incredibleairindiapackages.org, provides foreigners planning to visit India during the Games.

“This is an official website of the Ministry of Tourism and Air India, created especially for the Commonwealth Games,” said Sunil Kundu, an official at the Common-wealth Games Travel Office. Other tips on etiquette, the kind of food available, shopping and even toilets can also be found.

If tourists are unsure about the quality of food the website suggests they ‘do not eat salads and stick to vegetarian food. If shopping from a roadside stall, one should ‘be prepared to bargain.

Start by offering half the price and settle for 60 per cent. “These guidelines are very stereotypical.

How can you know if a model is ok with a peck on the cheek or that Indians do not mind being contradicted about politics?” said Olle Kitanda, a DU student from Kenya.

Traffic is biggest threat at Commonwealth Games delhi 2010

August 28th, 2010 admin

NEW DELHI: Security experts say that potential traffic snarls will pose the biggest security risk when thousands of athletes and tens of thousands of tourists gather in New Delhi for the Commonwealth Games in October.

The Indian capital has faced traffic congestion on a daily basis due to the amount of road space being taken up by delayed construction work on games-related projects.

With projects experiencing further delays, it also means less time to plan for security on the ground.

Though there will be dedicated lanes for athletes and delegates, experts believe it may not be easy to keep roads secure during the October 3-14 event.

Security expert Brigadier Vijai Nair feels that “traffic needs to be reduced drastically and security systems tightened on transport systems” during the games.

Rahman’s composition approved as CWG 2010 theme song

Rahman’s composition approved as CWG 2010 theme song

AMIDST IRREGULARITIES, allegations of corruption in the upcoming Commonwealth Games, here comes a morale booster. The empowered group of ministers (GoM) has approved ace composer and Oscar winner A.R.Rahman’s composition as the official theme song for the CWG. The decision was taken after a meeting that took place on Sunday evening. The song titled as “Swagatham” is tentatively slated to be released in the next 10 days.

The event which is nearly seven weeks away, its implementation and contours were discussed for nearly three hours on Sunday. Amidst speculations, Union Development Minister S Jaipal Reddy made it clear that there will not be any changes in schedule, neither should there be delays in meeting the specified deadlines in the completion and readiness of the stadias in order to host the event that spans for 11 days.

On the composition, he asserted that the theme song was discussed between the GoM, Rahman, Film Director Shyam Benegal and Producer Bharat Bala. The song was approved in principle and will be presented before the public in another 10 days.

With just 48 days for the games to begin and personal request from the Mozart of Madras to portray the games in a positive light, sources say that the idea behind choosing Rahman’s composition is to make it a cult song like ‘Jai Ho’ from Slumdog Millionaire and FIFA’s very own anthem, ‘Waka Waka’.
