Idiotic times of india

Its 7 am in the morning and its sunday. as i woke up, i switched on my lights, stopped my alarm clock. Felt the chilly breeze and opened my door to take the newspaper. Its the sunday times. Ok now lets see what all have been in the news but before that I have to see the crap ad of alien space station and then on the first page what i found out is "yuvraj battling lung tumour" well at first instance you would say ok its a news to be concerned but is it that worthy to be on the front page of a newspaper which millions of indian read daily. Come on, its a cool sunday morning, the first thing you would not want to read is a cricketer having lung tumour.
 Below is "court orders FIR against kiran bedi". And how "cops foil kishenji kin's plan". ok this is something we can accept on a front page but a cricketer battling tumour and that too non-malignant which can be taken care of way too easily. As the guy who has it can have any doctor in the world to look after him. Its not africa where thousands die of cancer without anyone getting to know about them.

Ok now I am on page 15, and the only thing that catches my eyes is Shobhha de's politically incorrect "the slap that shook India". Thank god there are people like her who make sure reader has some interest in reading the newspaper.

What else can I say...only thing I can say right now is...why this kolaveri kolaveri TOI??
