I remember the days when my father use to put so much effort on us so that we spend some time reading on english dailies..
We started with Chronicle, Hindu and finally landed to Times of India
I started liking it moment we started its subscription..hold it ...this dates back 5 years..
Now things have changed,
It is spoiling at the rate of population growth in India.
I can not carry on tradition of my father as I will not recommend any sane Indian child to read that paper.
Pros
Ofcourse since it has got one of the best networks..you will get all sort of news from all parts of globe
Matrimonial is good..still I believe and I have seen , many people purchasing TImes for martimonial
Paper material (texture and composition)
Cons
No quality editorial atleast that matching with HINDU
No articles of general interest..some spritual matters, global problems etc etc
Full of dirty , filmy material.
I have seen people taking the newspaper in hand and directly going to second page for that stuffs...
It is good you are giving some sport shots, , but why only sharapova in compromising service positions, or say synchronized swimmimg etc etc.
More than half the paper is filled with ads.
