Sunidhi to perform at Commonwealth Games

I heard that Sunidhi is going to do a solo performace at the Commonwealth Games (closing ceremony) at Sydney, as next CG will be held in apni dilli (I'll definitely watch it) in 2010. Some more singers will be there....

Looking forward to it. 😃

Sunidhi? Why sunidhi? To sing some Indo-western wannabe rock/pop songs? Why can't they display the best of our tradition by getting classical vocalists or instrumentalists?

Don' worry, I am sure there will be other performances also, Sunidhi is just one of them. Don't under-estimate sarkari babus. 😉
