After A.R. Rahman’s CWG anthem got sidelined, the Govt. of India today released a rocking new anthem for the big occasion. The night will kick off with a sizzling hot ‘Item Number’ by the ageless & agile Hon'ble CM Sheila Dikshit:
Dilli Badnaam Hui, Darling Tere Liye
" Dilli badnaam hui, darling tere liye... (3)
Dilli ke gaal gulabi, nain sharabi, chaal nawabi re
Le zandu balm hui, darling tere liye
Dilli badnaam hui, darling tere liye”
Followed by the entry theme song for the ‘Man of the Hour’ – Suresh Kalmadi. He will then shake a leg or two to the beats:
Udd Udd Dabangg Dabangg Dabangg Dabangg
“ Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg… (4)
Mann balwaan lagey chattaan rahe CWG maidaan mein aagey
Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg… (2)
Jo jhunjaar ho tyaar wahi sardar sa lagey
Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg… (2)
Daar ko kaate re, cheer dhare sanatte re
Jab veer bhare khunkhaare
Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg… (2)”
Mann balwaan lagey chattaan rahe CWG maidaan mein aagey
Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg… (2)
Jo jhunjaar ho tyaar wahi sardar sa lagey
Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg… (2)
Daar ko kaate re, cheer dhare sanatte re
Jab veer bhare khunkhaare
Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg… (2)”
Sssshhh… Pin drop silence. Spot lights will focus on Kalmadi.
(Subliminal message – A snake slithering free through the Games Village)
" Jab baat aan pe aave re woh baan karaj pe khaawe re
Woh sab ke praan snake se bachawe re hai wohi dabangg
Woh shoorveer kehlawe re sarkaal bane mandraave re
Dushman ko maar girawe re hai wohi dabangg
Daar ko kaate re, cheer dhare sanatte re
Jab veer bhare khunkhaare
Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg…"
Woh shoorveer kehlawe re sarkaal bane mandraave re
Dushman ko maar girawe re hai wohi dabangg
Daar ko kaate re, cheer dhare sanatte re
Jab veer bhare khunkhaare
Udd udd dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg…"
The authorities will draw the curtains with a victorious Kalmadi and the snake standing in ‘Shiva Thandavam’ pose. Then it’s solely upto them both to find a way to co-exist!
P.S. Sheila Ma’am is hoping to bag an endorsement for Zandu Balm, in hope of a subsequent livelihood, just like her predecessor Malaika Arora Khan, soon after her political tenure ends.
At-least, if the stadiums are in ship-shape condition, the government could have accommodated the athletes in hotels (which I am hoping would have been a cheaper alternative to building a village).
ReplyDeleteIt is a win-win situation. Hotel owners would have made some money, CGW biggies could have focused (with whatever time left) on building proper stadiums without worrying about housing the athletes, blah.. blah.. blah....
Long story short, country's reputation would not have been in shambles.
Alas, if only wishes were horses! Everything is still a mess. Now the biggest problem (after the games are over) is how will this all be covered up and some poor guy/gal would be made a scapegoat, to take the blame.
In other words, Mass Media is licking its lips. Full two months of non-stop coverage to increase their subscribers and up their TV ratings.
Did I forget to mention the Match-Fixing scandals and of course the Ayodhya verdict. Who doesn't want to be a journalist?!!!
Mass Media will be one recession proof industry (apart from Vijay Mallya's UB Group) that will thrive as long as the world rotates & revolves..
ReplyDeleteThanks to the post, I realized that there is a dilapidated Koramangala Games Village in Bangalore :)
