Pune Mirror

Why I hate Pune Mirror -

  • Because they insist on starting headlines with Kyunki...
  • Kyunki they have got me into the silly habit too.
  • Kyunki they love to cover private parties of kids of some known faces – stories which neither the hosts, guests nor the aam janta would like to read.
  • Kyunki they unabashedly publish photos of models in their bachpan ke kapde.
  • Kyunki they have the audacity to ask us to rate the same photos/articles.
  • Kyunki their articles make one uncomfortable/embarassed to read the paper in public.
  • Kyunki they will ask for opinions – whether it is about India’s trade relations with China or the sound of Rani Mukerjee’s voice.


Why I will still read Pune Mirror -

  • The other papers don't have the daily Crossword, Riddler and other stuff on Chai Time.
  • Ditto for Internet Humour (so what if they are dhaaped).
  • The other papers don’t have photos of models in their bachpan ke kapde.
  • The other papers have bad fonts.
  • The other papers don't have better topics than murder, fraud, robberies and chain snatches.
  • The other papers don't have articles that make one uncomfortable/embarassed to read the paper in public.
  • I might never expect to see my name in print in other papers for an opinion – whether it is about India’s trade relations with China or the sound of Rani Mukerjee’s voice.
