Yes, No, I Don't Know.
Every morning when I go through the paper, I start with the supplement, and then work my way from the back to the front. I somehow cannot start a newspaper from Page 1.
Maybe they should print the headlines on the last page. Would certainly serve me better.
Anyways, one of the last things I read in the paper is the popular Opinion Poll on some issue or the other. You know. Stuff like, " Should Lalu be given free train tickets?" or " Should Obama marry Oprah Winfrey on the Chandrayaan?" and such like.
Ok, I made up those questions. But its not the questions that are the issue. Its the answers. The answers are basically a multiple choice type.
A. Yes
B. No
C. I Don't Know
Please send an sms to 58822 with your answer. For Eg; If your answer is 'Yes', please type Choice A and send to 58822. Standard sms charges apply.
So everyone sitting on the pot, in the morning, send an sms or two with their choices.
And we get to see the results the next day in the paper.
Yes- 72%
No- 22%
I Don't Know - 6%
This is when I start having difficulty in understanding people. If you ahve a definite answer and you text it, it is understandable. Why the f**k would you want to send an sms saying, " I don't know" ? If you don't know, then why dont you just save that rupee worth of sms? You might use it to text your lover that one last cootchie-coo. Or maybe give a missed call when you are low on balance. Seriously. I think it should be made mandatory that everyone who sends an sms saying "I Don't Know' should be made to send across their names and phone numbers as well. And we can all bombard them with texts ranging form sympathy to abuse.

Cops?
Another caste war. I really wonder if we are progressing or regressing. Its a bloody shame that while ONE guy gets beaten up mercilessly, and then continues to get beaten up even after passing out, all the cops do is WATCH from a distance. How the FUCK will we ever have any sort of trust in cops? in humanity? in life?
I think they should probably get a new dress code for the Cops of Chennai. I would have suggested a sari and blouse, topped off with some bangles, but heck, that would just mean a real insult to women. What these particular gutless no-balls cops should wear is a string of leaves around their frontal genitals. And leave their rear exposed so that we can all give them a good kick. Shame on you Chennai.
