The Common Wealth Games Opening on Twitter

at 2:43 pm

India witnessed the grad Opening of The Common Wealth games yesterday. It had been a depressing thing to see all the people making fun of Suresh Kalmadi all these days and expecting a fall of the whole event, Thanks to Indian Media. While tweeting live watching the opening, I thought, this had to be posted on the blog. So here it is:

• All the people who’ve been tweeting fun of the #CWG org till yday are way impressed with the opening ceremony. #OneTightSlap
