AMIDST IRREGULARITIES, allegations of corruption in the upcoming Commonwealth Games, here comes a morale booster. The empowered group of ministers (GoM) has approved ace composer and Oscar winner A.R.Rahman's composition as the official theme song for the CWG. The decision was taken after a meeting that took place on Sunday evening. The song titled as “Swagatham” is tentatively slated to be released in the next 10 days.
The event which is nearly seven weeks away, its implementation and contours were discussed for nearly three hours on Sunday. Amidst speculations, Union Development Minister S Jaipal Reddy made it clear that there will not be any changes in schedule, neither should there be delays in meeting the specified deadlines in the completion and readiness of the stadias in order to host the event that spans for 11 days.
On the composition, he asserted that the theme song was discussed between the GoM, Rahman, Film Director Shyam Benegal and Producer Bharat Bala. The song was approved in principle and will be presented before the public in another 10 days.With just 48 days for the games to begin and personal request from the Mozart of Madras to portray the games in a positive light, sources say that the idea behind choosing Rahman's composition is to make it a cult song like 'Jai Ho' from Slumdog Millionaire and FIFA's very own anthem, 'Waka Waka'.

Hi to all who may go through this page.we are fortunate to get a chance to organize CWG 2010 in our country.dont fall back on the negative things what we saw in news.let us bring pride to our nation and support the games as much we can. there are no sponsors for CWG as in the case of cricket. only few have come forward to sponsor. i would like to put this to everyone mind that we have to make this event a big success so that we can get a further opportunity in future. we may get lot of foreign exchanges in our country through this. more the foriegn visitors come our country more we develop our self through tourism and hospitality. pack up the thing which politicians and organisers do and through it in dustbin. think as its our family function and support each and every events and give hands to build a new India. I want to dedicate this motivational poem to CWG team India??????..
Keep Believing Yourself India
Doubt can stop you in your tracks, it can drain your desire.
Believing on the other hand can set your world afire.
Believing in your ability affects the way you act
And produces an air of confidence which influences how others will react.
When you believe you can achieve and believe it with your soul,
You possess a powerful asset, you will most likely reach your goal.
