CommonWealth Games 2010 : New Delhi

Why do we need some reason to do work here in India?

As a developing economy progressing at 8% every year and geared for growth at the rates of 9-10% per annum. India is one of the fastest growing economies. Why can't we, be proactive about how our cities look, how the system is run?
Or
Are we so intelligent and busy in solving world problems in our BPOs/KPOs/LPOs/Software Development/Clinical Research etc. that we have no time to tend to ourselves? The real problem(s) that India faces.

I wonder why does it take a Commonwealth or Asiad games for us to have a Metro/a new suspension bridge at Wazirabad/Closing shops in residential areas/curbing rampant corruption?

How, come suddenly government has, so many funds from no funds?

These are few questions I want answers to, infact we all need answers to.

Slightly offtopic:
As I have discussed time and again in my blog that common man will have to take all these matters in their hands and not leave it to our politicians to solve. Politicians have been given enough chance (mind you more than 50 years) and they have failed miserably time and again.

I loved it the way middle class of India is enlightened and pushed the issue for Jessica Lal, Another lady who died in Lucknow (Shot at point blank range while making a stand against eve-teasers), people breaking rioting banks when 18,000 tickets for England Vs India ODI go up for sale in half hour from 4 counters?

Obviously these tickets are being hoarded by our Bureaucrats and Politicians.

We need to fight back against these injustice(s) we face everyday.

Its only the common man/the middle class who can fight back with unity.
Who have shown the will to develop, come out of poverty and put India on the path to being a super power; even in the adverse conditions set by our Ministers.

Way to go India and 3 cheers for the people of India (Politicians and Ministers excluded)!!!

Hmmm, ok now the thing that you do NOT know/notice is that the govt. haw always had more than enough money. If you have any doubts look at the way they increase the pay when they get together for pay hikes for non performance, laptops, cars, foreign junkets et al.. They do collect the taxes for that.. & do you see ANY work done? I don't.. We have MCD which does not do ANYTHING.. The courts have to ask them why is there litter on the streets? Why we seem to have "moving Roadblocks" AKA Cattle on the roads? What were the officials doing when people were constructing entire un-authorized colonies & adding floors?
Hell I say instead of questioning why are they doing it now we should either be asking why is it not done every 6 months.. rather PRAYING that they do have some event every 6 months or so that they atleast work "Something" Although I must admit I am a little scared : The neta log just send me a notice as they did to TOI for reporting on "the back breaking" 70 odd hours that they worked in this year.
