What next! In India, infamously known during The Raj, as a land of snakes, snake-charmers and elephants, lurking in the Games Village, today, was a live snake… just around the South African athletes’ camp! It’s unlikely that they brought the reptile from their home country! Life-threatening? No, this is no laughing matter, with just a week to go before the Games begin, if they do…
In the meanwhile, there’s news that Prince ‘Charming’ Charles – no less – in lieu of Queen Elizabeth II, will inaugurate the CWG… Britain’s Queen will not attend the event – with no such precedent in 44 years!
It turns out, that with this turn of events, The President of India – Mrs. Pratibha Patil – will not preside over the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi… time for breaking historical records… or should we say, history repeats!
