THERE are less than 30 days to go for the Commonwealth Youth Games 2008 and the city is brimming with excitement. A function was held recently to mark the occasion, which was hosted by gracious MP Suresh Kalmadi and his lovely wife Meera. The mascot of the games, Jigrr, really stole the limelight and it was fun to see him interacting with the audience.

The evening commenced with a bang when music maestros Sivamani and Louis Banks performed on stage leaving the crowd gaping for more. Pantaloons Femina Miss India World 2008 Parvathy Omanakuttan and hockey wizard Dhanraj Pillay were also was present at the event. This fun-filled musical evening turned out to be a great show and it was a nice prelude to the upcoming games all set to rock the city!
