Now that I am actually getting time to read the newspaper, I find a compelling need to criticize each and every section of the newspaper we buy...
Isn’t the first page supposed to carry the major news making headline the world over??? Or at least is in some way relevant to someone (read the general public)???
But no...the editor of this particular newspaper has to have the most annoying and the most unworthy bit of news on the first page and rest assured this godforsaken bit of news will surely make the headlines...
When there is a union budget, don’t ask ( I am rolling my eyes at this point)...everybody who is anybody (or even a nobody..) in the film industry, has to be interviewed and their expert comments(?) have to appear on the next day's issue...yeah I have got that right (film stars and budget?? what are these people thinking???)..
Then there is the sports section...geeezzzz!! This is like a 4 pages advertisement for the "Indian Cricket Team"...it either talks about their "latest spoils" in the game or, its some veteran giving his expert comment as to why the team is doing so well...
Hello!! there are other games besides cricket that we would like to hear about once in a while...
And if I start talking on the supplementary that comes along with it, I can go on and on...
The most annoying sheet surely has to be the page 3...with the pointless parties that the latest to make the page 3 crowd (the "it bunch") have been attending wearing the most dreadful costumes they could find in their closet...
The restaurant review will only feature the hippest of hip joints...and is sure to leave a big burning hole in your pocket if, you bother to visit any of the restaurants featured in this section…
And make sure you don’t watch any of the movies raved about for their excellence and fine acting...you will surely rue the day you took the reviewers take to heart and decided to watch the highly recommended movie...
A few good points though...
The sections on education and property are pretty good...so are the book reviews and a few good articles which might appear once in a blue moon...my personal favourite is the comics section though...(imagine the quality of this newspaper)...
Of course I could go the Tam Bram way and read "The Hindu" but I just can’t take the monotony either...

p.s- sorry for the large number of unnecessary question marks that appear in the blog
