Delh in Turmoil for Games


The whole Metro project, along with my favorite engineering project, is because the Commonwealth Games will be here in Delhi, Oct. 3-17. The city is in turmoil as every median, every curb and every sidewalk is being torn out and rebuilt. The dust pervades everything but there are thousands of villagers finding employment in the blazing sun to make this transformation come about. We will need to celebrate them when the time comes. There is a flame, called The Queen's Baton, being circulated through the Commonwealth countries - caught this ad in the newspaper.
There is one more thing about the games ... this being written from Evanston, but I have to finish this with a note about the suspension bridge at the Moolchand flyover - I took video, put it on YouTube but can't get it to post. Trying several options!

Loving the blog, Cate. And, when you learn how to Tweet you'll have to teach me!

Love from Ireland,
