Volunteers of India , this common wealth games !!

"Sir, this is paper bazaar", claimed a rickshaw puller to his foreign passengers in the middle of old Delhi's hustle-bustle. They looked quite astonished listening to his near perfect English lines and quietly smiled at the Innocent gesture of the rickshaw puller. Well.... even i did !!


"You can have the seat" said a man in his mid 50's to a mid age English couple who looked a little scared standing in the overcrowded metro. The site of change of there expressions, at being offered a seat , was something that made every Indian proud !!

There were other instances as well when people helped the tourists with directions and even scolding away the beggars troubling the visitors.

Common wealth games, Delhi, in the eyes of the world has been a chaotic event, but in our eyes, it was  a wonderful show by our fellow citizens, by our India !!
