India Wows the world at CWG opening ceremony



Date: Oct 3, 2010:
Barring the speculation and apprehensions a few days ago...
India stuns the world with a spectacular show at the opening ceremony of Commonwealth Games 2010 at Delhi, India


The stunning aerostat with Rajasthani puppets hanging from it and dancing...
 i was just too mesmerized by that UFO typo.. err well balloon cum projector cum screen.]

It was a breath taking ceremony with the traditional dance forms, drums, music and esp the rocking AEROSTAT filled with Helium which doubled as a projection screen... ! 
Clever Use and concept...!

The other segments throughout the evening had the Yoga, Tree of Knowledge, and the Great Indian Journey.

See for yourself the videos here:
 
and part 2

The creation in mehndi by children was superb - so beautiful and traditional :)



Yes, indeed there was a lot of inconvenience to the local public due to travel restrictions, fines,  and the Delhi area turning into a military camp, but all-in -all the opening ceremony turned out to be a great show...!
Hariharan's music was as usual spell binding

India’s music maestro A.R. Rahman belted out ‘Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto’ to fetch the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony Sunday to an stirring climax, as the crowds echoed him in equivalent measure.

It was Prince Charles  who did the honors, after being handed the Royal Baton containing the Queen's message. The President of India followed him up to the podium to add: 'Let the Games begin.'


All in all a spectacular show at Delhi's Commonwealth Games 2010 Opening Ceremony...
India Wows the world - once again!

Life n d power of affection

Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans..... I saw this graphic, and in the first glimpse, it seemed a junkie outta d dustbin, but when I looked at it for sometime, I saw the beauty in its crumpled untidiness..... and realised that its its imperfection that gives it this "beauty", and its "uniqueness"..... Imagine a blank sheet of paper with the same letters "LIFE" written over it(u may actually do it practically) and compare this pic with it...m damn sure you'd like d crumpled one more! N now some geeku inputs, ummm.... life is not the "digital" '0' or '1', i.e. "good" or "bad", the two loner states hanging out there...all alone! rather its like a beautiful sine/cos curve(as a matter of fact, any curve) with infinitesimal moments of the "actual life" happening between the start and the end.... To enjoy life fully, we must enjoy these "seemingly tiny" moments...
