John and Doves,

 

Yesterday was the Opening Ceremony of the 19th Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India.

 

The logo is an interesting thing to behold -

Quote - "The logo of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi is inspired by the Chakra,

the national symbol of freedom, unity and power. Spiralling upwards, it depicts the growth

of India into a proud, vibrant nation."

 

the Chakra....Spiralling upwards.

Also Interesting is that this spiral has 24 elements or 8+8+8 thus continuing the fascination with

the number 8 we saw at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

 

And 8 Gold medals are up for grabs on the first day.

The closing ceremony could also be interesting.

 

Blessings,
