 I dont watch sports much. But this info makes me feel good that India is doing well at Commonwealth Games 2006.

Congratulations to all the winners.

However one of the mails in the Yahoo groups said that no one is discussing this on the group.

Then one thing struck my mind.

Yeah.. Now-a-days Cricket is the only sport which is on everyone’s mind.  Even, on Saturday, Cricket was being telecast on National Channel, and Commonwealth Games are shown on DD Sport, where Hockey (our National Game) match was being telecast.

Ummmm…. May be you know what I want to say….
Yes, the Cricket is valued so much than other sports.

Should it be? I don’t think so.
