Mastermind Modi Pulls of a Cricket Coup!

For decades after Kerry Parker invented the refined (shorter) version of the game i.e. One day cricket matches, everyone thought can there be a more amazing facelift to the game? It took someone like Mr. Modi with the level of courage and the vision of success to answer the above question. He not only invented Indian Premier League (nicknamed IPL or 20-20) in 2008 but also ensured that it turns out to be a grand success.

IPL : Competence Triumphs over Cultural Myopia!

IPL has demonstrated the immense uniting power of sports and how it can bring riches beyond narrow regional differences. South Africa has establisged itself as a great tourist place for millions of Indian and other sports lovers. And this mega sporting event (IPL) along with next year’s FIFA world cup will boost tourist led cash inflows to its fast developing economy. As millions get to earn more and respect the power of sporting spirit, hatred would have been buried in the land which was once famous for colour and regional biases.

T20 lords over Bollywood!

There might still be a question mark of a Bollywood movie being a hit or a flop, but in all IPL matches there is ‘edge of the seat’ action and drama from the first ball. As the matches progressed, there were no favourites and no underdogs as almost every day there were upsets and sneaky wins. So people loved to remain plugged in to the unfolding cricket dramas. The finalists too, like last year were unlikely teams who had a dubious record and had IPL-2 runup to finals was also pretty shaky.

More Common-Wealth thanks to Commonwealth Games 2010

Delhi government has started an aggressive programme in sprucing up Delhi at two levels - city infrastructure as well as government officials. Yes all the people who will be involved with public dealings: sports officials, tourist guides/officials, police personnel and miscellaneous help and security officials are all going to undergo rigorous soft skills enhancement trainings. As a balanced programme run by experienced experts, it will teach these officials how to handle people with care and courtesy and how to handle stress with professional ease. Commonwealth games is thus a blessing in disguise for all these officials as they will see reason to develop a softer side to their personalities and with (hopefully) well behaved citizens in future they will see no reason to return to their stern ways post the Games. Just like the Metro taught Kolkattans how to keep their stations clean, the same story is repeated in Delhi.

Dilli-a Fun Capital too!

Delhi now has new family entertainment destinations these days. Leading the pack of new entries to this entertainment league is Adventure Island at Rohini (Near Rithala Metro Station). This is the perfect place for your entire family to shriek, scream and shout to your heart content as there are joy rides, exciting roller coaster rides for all age groups. Built on lines of a mini Disney Land, it has some breathtaking swings and other pulse raising options. It is part of the ‘Metro walk’ a sprawling family entertainment complex, complete with fascinating food courts, bustling retail malls and other niche shops like book stores etc.

My Experiences with Delhi Part III (Shopping)

And then of course that succour for shoppers in summer, the bargainer’s bastion, Palika Bazaar. I have in the past bought leather jackets from there which I have now used for 7 winters and still going strong. This time I bought a leather wallet (he asked for 600, sold it for 200).

My Experiences with Delhi Part IV (Hotel and Restaurants)

Gola Restaurant in Connaught Place never fails to live up to its reputation as being one of the best sizzler restaurants in Delhi. The helpings are really big, so the best time to head there is after a nice tiring shopping trip when you’ve trudged all around CP, Palika and Janpath and have worked up a nice appetite.

My Experiences with Delhi Part V (Books)

What you can also find with these footpath booksellers is second hand books which tourists flog off if they don’t want to carry the extra load on board their flight. If you are lucky you may find a good condition ‘Lonely Planet’ at a fraction of its original price.
