CWG: Loss that no one is counting
Expensive stadia used for the Commonwealth Games that were rebuilt at a cost of over Rs 2,500 crore now lie deserted or underutilised resulting in massive waste
New Delhi, June 22
Barely eight months after the Commonwealth Games 2010, billed as the biggest sporting event ever held in India, the glitter has gone out of the imposing stadia renovated at a cost of over Rs 2,500 crore to the public exchequer. Most remain unutilised or under-utilised. Few tournaments have been hosted during this time and many of the stadia are not even cleaned properly.

Why India needs to keep talking to Pakistan
Pakistan’s new generation wants it to break free from the vicious cycle of violence — India should help
In Groundhog Day, a Hollywood blockbuster released in 1993, a weatherman finds himself getting up to the same day over and over again. He discovers that he is condemned to going over the same routine till eternity. Comparisons with the movie and the talks that are being held today in Islamabad between Nirupama Rao and Salman Bashir, the foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan respectively, may seem odious. After all the Mohali spirit, that saw the Prime Ministers of the two countries have a cordial meeting on the sidelines of the World Cup cricket match in March, did promise a new beginning.
