Times Of India's Delhi edition had these really awesome articles (as usual) on the editorial today , pg no. 26 , but i loved the way both Gurcharan Das and Jug Suraiya presented their takes on the same issue, the screwed up BRT corridor in South Delhi. Jug Suraiya is soooo funny!
Another complete page which made for a great read was pg no. 20, especially the story by Jyoti Punwani about a Muslim man who brought up 2 girls as Hindus. And on the very next page you'll find something that you'll never forget, Brigido Viggiano slum tour experience in the largest slum of Asia, the Dharavi slums of Mumbai. Be ready, coz your ideas (especially negative ones) are about to go for a toss, more so towards the third column. Right above it is your claim-to-shame, an article on Indian dont's embossed into do's of their daily lives by Priyanko Sarkar, and the Politics of Chhat, by Mohammed Wajihuddin, another great one.
I loved the words by MJ Akbar, whose new column 'Crescents and Croissants' started today, on pg 8, especially the last para, which is a fitting sentence to make you feel good. Both Mr. Akbar and Ms. Brigido's articles made a statement about India's great secularism, which is these days at the hands of screwed up politicians, yet comes up strongly each time they play divide-and-rule like during the British colonisation.
P.S - India rocks, and so does Times Of India!!! :)
