Masti ka Padhsala

We r very proud to proclaim ourselves from the state of cent percent literacy...reading newspapers is a fad and u will be surprised to find people from all classes and social status devouring not one, but all the different newspapers with a fervor which is hard to explain...in short, news is our daily energy drink...but then how do u explain the phenomenon that we top the list for being the most duped??well two recent news headlines underline this fact..one's about an internet geek who seduced girls and women by the dozen, married them and then left depleting their bank accounts. He was using chat rooms for this purpose and was found to be very effective with his eloquence. Another enterprising mallu, called up young and upcoming VJs and models and posed as famous film diectors and asked whether they were interested in joining films. When the nubile maidens replied in the affirmative, he told will send son to take snaps and believe it or not these movie crazy gals accepted the offer. Well, u cant blame them, rite??After all they are innocent and not aware of the predators prowling around...and their parents???...so wat do we read in papers???is it sports???is it only about the latest potboiler or is it about politics??and wat about all the Manasaputhris u see on tv??they spread the message that its ok to kill and maim as long as ur ends are met...then why we r still duped with goat,teak,japanese mattresses and god knows what all schemes!!Guess we read cos we want to find new enterprising ideas to trick the public into scams so-hard-to-believe-its-true!!After all wat can be so bad in Gods own country!!do we see a light at the end of the tunnel...well to quote Navjot Sidhu...we do..but thats the light of an incoming superfast train...Live on....
