This is about a mishap that occurred in Bangalore. Published on 30th March, 2012.

Laziness at its Best

Times of India online has done it again. This story is about Pakistan Prime Mister Yusuf Raza Gilani's statement. It is evident that the reporter or the one who posted this report online took an earlier template and modified it instead of creating a new post. It is like finding a piece of meat in the vegetarian meal you ordered.

Please see the red rectangle. Wondering how Jindal appeared suddenly between Gilani and Obama. Published on 26th March, 2012.

Weapon for Suicide Squad?

This one is from Zee News online for a change. This is about the Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launching system and the rockets used by the Indian Army. If the report is to be believed, it can only be used by a suicide squad of the Indian Army.

Please see the marked words. The report, published on 20th March, 2012, says that the Pinaka has a striking range of 40km and can bring devastation around 500km of the target area. Hilarious indeed...

A Case of Withheld Identity...

Here is another one from The Times of India online. TOI guys are experts in doing this it seems. Acting as the true representatives of the fourth estate, they withhold names of victims and culprits in all cases, but leave clues in the story that does not require a detective's senses to sniff out. Even I am caught between the ethics of putting this 'revealing' goof-up up for the public, but this is a classic case of it...

Please see the red underlined words. The paper, published on 15th of March, 2012, clearly says that the names are withheld (to protect identities). But they have mentioned that the person is the Principal of St Elias High School in Khar (west). They further go on to suggest that the principal is a lady. 

TOI rocks...

  

All for the Hits...

Here is the gem of a headline from The Times of India online. The headline says it all. I fail to understand what this "Maid to Order" thing is on this particular story. It seems like the reporter has been keeping these phrases ready, waiting for something to happen with a maid.
