It all started with Suresh Kalmadi (whose name, incidentally, is spelled with the same letters as "Sir u made lakhs") totally messing up India's CWG awesomeness dream. Then the athletes pulled out, saying cheesy stuff like "My children would rather have me than have a medal." And then TOI finds tobacco spit marks and dog footprints in the hotel rooms. And, naturally, Kalmadi is thoroughly "booed" at the opening ceremony. Finally, as an afterword, he is thrown in jail and locked up like an ordinary prisoner, even while he keeps that annoying grin of his.
I thought the Indian Government would be kind of ashamed after China grabbed about twice as much medals as them. I thought they would improve the training facilities and make training testing and rigorous. But instead, they were happy that they had their largest haul (I still don't blame them, but they should have wanted to beat China), and Saina Nehwal soon got the Bharat Ratna award (I think).
Then everything started going wrong and Saina Nehwal started failing in form and kept losing in the beginning rounds. Everyone else collapsed, too, except for Sania Mirza and Somdev Devarrman. China began thrashing India in all forms. At the same time, the mystique was quickly wearing away from PM Man Mohan Singh after three successive scams from Kalmadi, Raja, and Chavan. And in the midst of this crazy fiasco, the Indian Government comes up with the perfect solution to help badminton players play better. Skirts! Let the women wear skirts! So they can start slowing down and lose all the time! Perfect, right?
And I don't know since when China started copying India, but they suddenly announced that all badminton players who wear skirts will be promised higher salary.
So now with badminton courts filled with skirts and less dynamic play, the entire public is dissatisfied and is wondering, "Who started this?!"
You tell me. Who started all this?
Here's a hint:
SURESH KALMADI!!!!!!!!!
