Balewadi Sports Campus: Appearances are deceptive.



Having missed out on the Mother of all sporting events "The Commonwealth Youth Games" held at Balewadi in Pune, had an opportunity to visit the fancy sports campus located at Malunge village, for a conference. Sprawling lawns and glossy exteriors of the buildings are a feast to the eyes. However the changing rooms were shoddy and the loo, a nightmare. There was no water but there were cartons of sealed 'Energy drink' bottles kept near the toilet !! A bunch of women had formed a line outside and one of them took the bottle out of the carton and went inside. Soon many followed suit until I got curious about the colourful bottles and read the contents ! The atmosphere there, now got really 'energized' ! Can the sports authorities explain the reason behind stacking cartons of 'Energy Drinks' near a toilet?
