    Mate I dunno what u guys are happy at but these games are the zenith of corruption in India. The Dixit, Kalmadi and all their cronies has milked the City of Delhi in particular and nation in general dry with their dubious schemes and scams. Sinking Roads, Leaking Stadiums and lame excuses, It is the Commonwealth Games that we are organizing.

    Well that's the oldest story in the book. Crooked Politicians and rich businessmen who fill their pockets with our money.

    I was just glad to be part of an epic event and even happier to see the enthusiasm of young children who aren't touched by all this bad stuff that goes on around us.

    It was truly amazing to see the fervour and excitment with which they greeted the cavalcade, even though it didn't have one Sports Star or Celebrity.

    I understand the gravity of the situation, but loved the spectacular enthusiasm of young India.

    I was never a soothsayer, Neither I am a pessimist, but hopefully all your fervor gets a valid justification at the games. Just hopefully.

    Corruption shouldn't be a deterrence for not hosting an event of this stature and beside politicians, the entire business world is corrupt too.

    But the point have always been to mitigate out the corrupt & corruption and inspire the youth of the society, Rohit, quite rightly points this out.

    If people back away from doing something, because there is corruption, then nothing will ever get done in India or the world over.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray.  What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
