Some more quotes

A few quotes from some movies I saw over the weekend.

1. Guy says to woman: When I saw him on the computer, it said "The Butcher of Cadíz." I thought it was a profession, not a headline.
2. Sara says: Relationships are for people who are just waiting for something better to come along.
3. Max says: There is more to life than watch other people live it.
4. Guy says: "Tomorrow night Allegra Cole could have her last, first kiss.". Of course what happens next is hilarious.
5. This came from someplace else. What do you mean, like Europe? No Robbie not like europe
6. Terrified, mortified, petrified.
7. Begin each day as if it were on purpose.

Should India participate in Common Wealth Games in the future let alone host?

I am not sure if anybody has thought about it in this sense. But really if you think about what the term "Common Wealth" means, then you would get my point. Common Wealth nations is meant to indicate the countries that were under the British rule. Do we really need to participate in such an event that is meant for the once-suppressed countries? I know we cannot change the fact that we were once ruled by some other country, but do we need to continue acknowledging it? It is like saying "hey erstwhile slaves, are you interested in competing among yourself". I would say we should no longer participate in such an event and give it any glorifying sense.

If you need to know anything more, just google what Common wealth games is supposed to mean. It was originally called the "British Empire Games". I don't think it can get anymore obvious than that.

But, we continue to participate in this. In fact are putting all efforts (or lack of) to host the event, and to top it all get the Prince to come and inaugurate it.

Of course, we gave them a royal treatment by having the President's husband (accused of land-grabbing) to sit next to the Prince. So i guess it kind of evens out some things.

Anyways, just some thoughts to ponder.
