The Mozart of Madras who received widespread flak and criticism for his Commonwealth Games (CWG)theme song has reportedly tweaked his song. The song is to be made racier for its video launch, which is now slated for this week.
The theme song couldn’t create the buzz like Waka Waka and critics felt the Oscar-winning composer had either hurried with the song or his compositions just don’t have the power these days.
After days of delays and other issues, the organizing committee is smiling these days as the Games village will see a soft opening on Sept 16.
“Everything is in place and the Games Village is ready to welcome its residents. Its formal opening is scheduled to be held on September 23, when the contingents start arriving in Delhi,” OC Secretary General Lalit Bhanot said.
Players are expected to arrive from Sept 23. Now, given the negative sentiment surrounding the games, this is certainly some good news for all of us.

After athletes, it is now the doctors who have upped the ante against the OC over the lack of facilities in CWG. The doctors allege that they are being forced into the volunteering services and the OC is not ready to take any responsibility in case of a mishap.
Around 200 doctors from different hospitals in Delhi would be available round the clock in the Games Village and the rest would be stationed at the venues to tackle any emergency.
