"PAY FOR A CAUSE"!!! IS ANYONE LISTENING????

Hi to all of u .hope you are all doing great.sorry for the delayed post...
Today i want to share my experience with u all on the bangalore midnight marathon ,which took place in the fag end of 2009,known as"TIMES BANGALORE MIDNIGHT MARATHON-2009".It was sponsored by the times group and was in its second season.it had gained popularity for the very fact dat it was held at the stroke of midnight.The noble cause behind it was"GLOBAL WARMING".All the above facts was for information purpose.
The shocking and hidden truth behind this was,one had to pay RS 200,for the registration ,in short one had to pay for the cause.Organised by the "change india",the"rotary group" and to add to that a hell lot of sponsor this was least expected.so,do they want to say that the issue of global warming is for the rich or as such that if you pay 2oo bucks you are supporting the cause.I mean who the hell will pay 200 bucks to run few miles.its simply illogical don't u think?they are giving a wrong signal to the youth of tomorrow.many of my friends (mahesh,vishal,pushkar)and yes even me dearly wanted to be a part of this mega event and support the cause of global warming,but the 200 bucks clause kept us away from it.now theycan argue that it was a mere 2oo RS but for students and jobless youths(note :was jobless then)like us its too much.this is very sad and this to come from such a renowned "times group" is more pathetic.the same group which conducts lead india initiative to building leaders of tomorrow are charging money for a cause.
If the registration would have been made free ,a huge participation would have made this event a grand success and the cause "global warming"(which indeed is a serious clause)could have been dealt with much better.
I know this post from a stupid common man (as Nassiruddin shah says in wednesday)will hardly make any difference,to them.The midnight bangalore marathon will again happen this year with the same sponsors or even more and a registration fee of the same amount or even more,but all this will happen in the name of a cause. IS ANYONE LISTENING???????????
