TOI - Habits die hard

Largest Daily in India. Radio Mirchi, Best FM channel in India, Zoom - unbeatable TV channel. Anything that TOI touches turns to Gold. Ofcourse these are ads in TOI. No one can beat TOI period.


Times of India


Front page in any news paper of repute (like TOI) is meant for events/incidents that occur in the country or Internationaly and IMPACT THE NATION Adversely or Positively. Given below are some news items on Front page which affected India’s economy, sensex, GDP, Exports, Heath, Sex education, reduced poverty, addressed corruption etc.


1)Karisma Kapoor, entering court after her husband filed divorse paper. Huge colored photography, centre of Front page. Horror of Horrors. Country is mourning


2) Karima Kapoor and Sanjay Kapur (don’t ask why speellinngg is diferrennt) reconcile. Again Colored photo on centre of main page.


Country is saved. Country is celebrating man! Should we declare a national holiday. Sensex rises, export increase, GDP improves, India win test match!, a gold medal in Olympics!!. See how it impacts the nation. My life is made, I start breathing normally.


3) Some fucking underworld don is caught, an makes news on Front page for the next 5 days. Closeups of his Moll. Who needs Godfather and its sequels. The same news appears on some page in Daily Mirror. Take about re-useabilty and resourcefullness.


4) On Monday - 10th July 06, Front page news on TOI say "Shiv Sena spoils the Sunday". If TOI has balls (which I suspect have been mortgaged to Congress long ago), it should write the same heading on the Front Page when there is bandh and riots after Ambedkar’s statue was defiled, when pro-reservationist arsoned.


Editorial? Whats that? and what for is it needed? How old fashioned to even mention it.


Letter from readers. Will print if space permits.



Bombay Times:


Its a load of Bullshit. No I think bullshit gives better value. Think about it! Newsprint paper is subsidized by Govt. Of India, and TOI is using this subsidy to show us Nudtiy in Color with women and men in innovative dresses. Bikini your days are numbered . Moveover Playboy! we show nudity with a touch of class!



Daily Mirror:


Hats Off! Jaisa Naam vaise Kaam. Readit! Useit! Flushit! Touching millions of ... wOw! What an innovative idea. 3M (inventors of PostIt and Rollodex), please make note



Sunday Times:


This BAD habit of sipping hot cup of tea/coffee and reading Sunday times is finally conquered. Early Sunday mornings roads are crowded as people have started taking morning walk, rather than wasting time searching for readworthy articles in plethora of pages and ads. Another national contribution from TOI group. Taking care of Nations Health!


Need I say more. Its a LEADER...but does not know what its leading :)
