so, i think the 'intellegentsia' at office finally know that we 'idiots' hate them, despise them and happily laugh at them upstairs, tucked away in godown, with comps and paper cartons for company. for us they are representative of the burgeoning middle class, ignorant about elections or the BMC. they wonder if Lok Sabha is one word or two and do not know the difference between MLA and MP. but they insist that it is they who make our paper look good, hence they are more important to the organisation. I mean for all those critical about tabloidisation and dumbing down, we shoudl ust let them have a day here and by the end of it they will be pulling out their hair.

anyways, the "subalterns" have decided to rebel. first things first, we have at least managed to get a neutral email id from which we will be sending our mail of dissent to our boss.

yeah yeah, i know i am making it soud more glamourous then it actually might turn out to be..but then i am working with a tabloid..so i guess it's pardonable.

was doing a story on how this retired army dude was suggesting the use of a container as a makeshift post office instead of constructing a building, with brick and mortar as the govt does not have money. the first question i get, " What is a container?" after about ten minutes spent in explaining what a container is, they insist that they want to write the meaning within brackets. what else could i do, but hope that people who read it do not laugh...

totally off track...shibbs is looking stunning these days.
