CWG Village Threatened with Used Condoms

Until now, the Commonwealth Games organizers have faced criticism for shortcomings in arrangements made at the venues of CWG and Athletes’ village. Now the blame turns to the athletes who complained on quality of arrangements in Athletes’ village for another reason.
CondomVendingMachine Somehow, the Indian authorities could regain the tarnished image with the amazing cultural performance on the inaugural day, but it remains to be seen how they are going to resolve the problem of clogged drains.
Clogged Drains
Now the authorities are facing somewhat a peculiar problem. The village has been provided with at least 8,000 free condoms to prevent unwanted infections. Four thousand condoms are said to be picked up already, within four days of the beginning of the event. The problem is not about scarcity of condoms but with used condoms.
The used condoms are flushed in the toilets into the drains choking the drainage system in the village. The CWG authorities are happy that the condoms are being used, but worried that they are not able to find an easy way to clear the clogged drains.
Accolades
Once the games are begun the organizers won applauds for winning race against time in making quick arrangements. The army built the collapsed foot over bridge within four days. Inaugural session concluded with everyone’s satisfaction. Indian athletes are performing well placing India at the second place in medals tally.

Harbhajan Singh says he would slap if a bookie approaches him

Harbhajan Singh was asked by NDTV reporter as a part of 'Walk the talk' programme what would he do if a bookie approaches him. His spot response without hesitation was he would slap him. Harbhan is well known for his spot reactions that reflect his originality. Originality in the sense that it doesn't contain dramatic expressions, stylish gestures or hypocritical statements. Harbhajan possesses such originality. That's how he could offer a straight answer. Straight answers generally provide no room for subsidiary questions. So the conversation on the particular topic ends with one or two questions and answers and the questioner will be forced to move on to the next question. 

Harbhajan also said he was never approached by any bookie in his entire cricket career. This may also mean that the he may have not known that the person approached him is a bookie. A bookie is identified when he starts to make offers for some favors. What if the bookie who approached Harbhajan was thrown away with straight answers? The bookie senses the danger and leaves him before he is slapped. This is not to suggest that bookies approached Harbhajan but this is actually a bit of appreciation for not providing any room for further unwanted questions.

Stage set for Sex Industry to Flourish during Common Wealth Games, New Delhi

 Article first published as Stage set for Sex Tourism to Flourish during Common Wealth Games, New Delhi on Technorati.

It has become an open secret that various international sporting events are best opportunities for sex industry run by mafias across the world. Since the fall of so called ‘socialist’ USSR and its disintegration, Russian mafia acquired prominence in world mafia. It is no wonder that the sex industry, one of the core businesses of the mafia kingdoms is also dominated by the Russian mafia.

Since 1990s when USSR collapsed, their economies have suffered death blows. Armed coups, rebellions of nationalities, mass movements and mass sufferings have become the order of the day. No country of erstwhile Soviet Union is yet stabilized and hence the destabilization of people’s lives. Hunger, unemployment, poverty all such evils pushed them to succumb to flesh trade, human trafficking under unruly mafia gangs. ‘Indian Association of Tour Operators’ has disclosed in July that sex workers mostly may come from countries like Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Chechnya and Kyrgyzstan besides others to cash in CWG. It doesn’t mean that western advanced countries do not offer such services. Actually they are costly in this trade.

The Indian government has announced ‘code of ethics’ to curb sex tourism during Common Wealth Games. It has even sought the assistance of PATA, UNODC and NGOs like ‘Save the Children’ long back in July. ‘Apne Aap Women Worldwide’ has made an open appeal to the president of India “not to let the sex
