Commonwealth Games 2010 - Shera

Now, they may have cocked up the accommodation, transport and sporting venues but, credit where credit is due, Delhi were bang on the money with their mascot, Shera:

He's a pretty good looking tiger huh?  His name comes from the Urdu word Sher – meaning tiger. Shera is said to represent the modern Indian; he is an achiever with a positive attitude, a global citizen but justifiably proud of his nation’s ancient heritage, and a fierce competitor but with integrity and honesty. Shera is also a ‘large-hearted gentleman’ who loves making friends and enthusing people to ‘come out and play’.


I wish I was a large-hearted Gentleman too.
