Sorry to say but i dont see any remarkable preparations by India on these games. Still giving perception of a third world country.

lol Can't say anything better?

India is a third world country!!!! But we are doing much better than others. We are the fourth largest economy in terms of PPP. With in next five years we will surely be a second world country as the GDP is fast moving. Our GDP expected to grow at 9%+ this year.

We have already seen how much countries are appreciating your preparartions. Internet is filled with the news from across the globe pointing to your lazy preparartions and making mock of your country. Dont forget many athletes from across the globe withdrew their participation just because of your preparartions. LOL

NEW DELHI: They had concerns before crossing the border to India for Commonwealth Games, but after arriving in the national capital, members of the Pakistani contingent were "surprised" to find nice arrangements, contrary to what was projected by the media few days back.

"We were pleasantly surprised when we checked-in to the Games Village as the facilities were very good, very much in contrast to what the media had portrayed," said Owais Khan, who will represent Pakistan in 91+ kg super-heavyweight boxing category in the Games.

"We would love to go to all the good places in Delhi," said the burly pugilist, who hails from the tribal region of Baluchistan, during Pakistan's flag hoisting ceremony at the Village on Saturday.

Members from the contingent, in their green jerseys, swayed to the tunes on Bhangra and Giddha dances during the ceremony at the premises of 63.5-hectare Village complex.

"We are happy that India is hosting Commonwealth Games and we hope that our country gets such a chance soon," said Zarif Hussain, coach of the Paralymic powerlifting team.

"We (India and Pakistan) are friends off the field but the competition inside the ring would be intense," added Zarif.

"The food here is great, especially the Paranthas and Chappatis," said Nasir Butt, a Paralympic powerlifter who has already bagged a gold at the last Asian Cup.

The Pakistan contingent that has arrived here on Wednesday, yet to go to the venues to practice and warming up at the Village only.

"We have been confined to the Village area from three days as security people have advised us not to move outside. They have also told us that the situation outside is not very good," said Nasir.

However, the athletes were confident of a medal haul in the Delhi Games.

"I have worked very hard for this Games and hopeful of a gold medal," said Nasir, who is participating in the event for the first time.

Taj Mahal, one of the modern seven wonders of the world, was the hot favourite among Pakistanis and they want to visit the 'symbol of love'.

"We would love to visit the Taj," said Zarif, who was Pakistan coach in Athens and Beijing Olympic Games also.

I would like to clarify that First world is capitalist western countries, second world is communist countries like China and Russia. The rest are called third world. Since most of the 'other' countries were poor and developing, people started using the term in that context. So India cannot become a second world country by developing.

Rightly said priorities. However what you failed to notice was that the CWG village is in fact a multipurpose project, it will be converted into ~1200 low cost flats for the common people once the games are over.
A big event like this does have economic benefits in form of employment generated, infrastructure upgrades and revenue streams. Corruption is not a direct outcome of the games, it was present before and like many other nations India too is struggling with it.
