They are interested in planning or philosophizing on timeless matters (e.g., long-term financial arrangements, good character building etc) rather on transient events. For individual events they rely only on their tremendous capacity to improvise. <br /><br />We are in a transition phase where we have not completely come to terms with the fact that infrastructure building is a continuous, relentless and in a sense timeless process. Once that view sinks in we will prepare better. In some areas that has already started sinking in.Ankur Kulkarnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411971742511540520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-11033871691376585422011-03-29T13:58:54.756+05:302011-03-29T13:58:54.756+05:30I completely agree with you that our boycott of su...I completely agree with you that our boycott of such poor arrangements may help but not the Egypt like revolutions.

I completely agree with your observations. I ...Sir,<br />I completely agree with your observations. I had the opportunity of looking at both the screens from my stand but still couldn't see the replays as the replays were hardly shown on the screens. The security was at total fault, many spectators managed to get in with cell phones and digital cameras too. There were a lot of police at stadium but it was like they were completely clueless of what had to be done. It was a total mess at Motera but the experience of watching a match at stadium for the first time was great.srirajdutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04126385934013774459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-69751019970624613572011-03-28T15:39:23.274+05:302011-03-28T15:39:23.274+05:30Dr. Sanghi,

The sad part though is that the supply-demand ratio is very low and hence, authorities aren't bothered about the same. The changes will rank in when the general public boycott such services. Happenings in Egypt, Libya, Syria etc. prove the same.decorrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18042392419594433063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-54628397905467262012011-03-27T10:55:04.749+05:302011-03-27T10:55:04.749+05:30Your observations abt the arrangemments are absolu...Your observations abt the arrangemments are absolutey correct.I hadalso been there once,while the atmosphere was electrifying the arrangements were woefully inadequate. GCCI need to do a lot to make it comfortabe. It.
