The DC is such a dumb paper. I mean look at news in the first page of their supplementary- " Man runs away with best friend's wife" or " 50 plus Men lookin for partners on the net"!!!!!!!!!! If the front page news is so hot u can imagine the news printed inside. Crap.I mean do they have nothing else to report? The best part is the last page where pictures of some vague people dancing in a party is put up. What did these people do to deserve to be in news? The main paper is no better.People buy it because its so cheap(Re.1). But what kind of knowledge do u derive out of reading it? U might as well read "Ananda Vikatan" or " Kumudam". On top of all that the newspaper is supposed to pose stiff competition to the Hindu!

My irritation reached peaks when i saw a news item on how the actress Namitha has been roped in for a Hollywood movie.A full page article that too..It did not help that i hate that actress. O God u cant even call her one.

I think i have vented out all my irritation..Now feelin better;)

haha...everytime i spend some time on chennai to pick my vaigai, I buy DC. Just got excited to know that they could give it for Rs.1. But yes, it no ways matches to Hindu quality. Cheap and crap are it's features... But I guess even the other tamil paper which is sold out for Rs.1 is also of similar nature, is that so?

The dinakaran(tamil) costs 1 Re and the gossip they publish is mind-blowing..What surprises me the most is how they underestimate the reader's intelligence.

Heh., DC is crap alright.

That last page is not just about some non-news-worthy things., it is a major invasion of privacy. Most of those parties are private parties. I'm really wondering whether these guys get permissions from the respective people before publishing their faces.

Dear Dow Chemicals, You have yet to compensate the victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. You have a moral and financial obligation towards the victims and their descendants. How the hell are you are sponsoring the London Olympics? And just because the original plant was bought over by another entity does not entitle the new entity to go scot free. Dear Indian Government, Why is that you are ready to take steps against a person/ entity/ group only when the whole world creates a hue and cry? Lakhs of Indians are still physically and mentally affected by the exposure to the gas leak on that fateful night of December 1984. Your own citizens. Today is the 26th of January, our Republic Day. But I feel no pride. The real pride lies when the Government and its people work towards the safety and welfare of its citizens. Dear Anderson, Still alive and kicking, really?

There are some moments in life when you actually feel that your childhood (probably not the right word) has come to an end. When you feel you cant behave like a brat and expect people to say- oh she’s just a kid. Being the youngest in my family and also at my work place, I never thought of myself as a grown up. Even when I started earning. Yesterday I met one of my closest friends & childhood playmate. She’s getting married and leaving the country in a few days . I knew it all along but when I said bye to her yesterday , it finally sunk into me that everything is changing. The house where we spent countless days playing choppu and other invented games is going to belong to someone else soon. God, I’l never forget those days. And it’s horrible to know it’l never come back.
