First of all, does this news really need to take space on the front page of a national daily? I do not think so. Instead of reporting that a man died, and being not so loud about it, TOI instead chooses to celebrate that the beggar died rich!Anyways, another example of pathetic journalism and hopeless editing is this news article by TOI. I am posting the full article below, before TOI amends it -

What I read on the TOI online version today morning is incredibly funny, informative and at the same time equally pathetic. I am not sure, if this news article was on the front page of the print version as well, but to have it on the front page of the TOI website written in big bold letters gives it plenty of eye balls for sure.This is how the heading goes:' INDIA QUIETLY BEGINS COMBAT DRONE

For all lovers of Strategic Warfare, Military Intellingence & International Affairs.One of the best articles which I have read in the recent times about the strategies and focus of military mights of the world in creating a balance of power in South Asia, mainly to encircle the dragon.

The world's cheapest car, the Tata Nano, has proved itself to be as innovative as its makers intended it to be. One more milestone in the Nano's brief but eventful journey so far has confirmed that this no frills, small car paradigm-shifter is not just the cleanest automobile in the country from a tail-pipe emissions perspective but it has also been proven that low cost doesn't come at the cost

Circa 1999-2000 ..... I was around 14 then, and not many things on TV really made me interested other than NGC, Discovery or the News.... and then one day, while browsing channels I saw this short film on Star Plus 'Bhoron Ne Khilaya Phool' under the tele-series, Star Bestsellers. For the first time ever, I was hooked on to TV! and mind you, these 1 hour episodes, each time a different story,

Finally, the man confessed to what the entire world (atleast all Indians) already knew. Before I pen down my thoughts and comments on the Mumbai Attacks, which is nothing less than a brain tumor, and which shall remain in the mind forever, I thought one should give a reading to the confession made by Kasab in court on 20th July 2009.It is a chilling tale, which needs to be told to every citizen

I have stayed in total about 4 years in Bombay out of the 23 years since I have been in this world. The rest has been in Nigeria, New Delhi, and now Dubai, with the maximum in the capital city of India. But somehow, I relate the most to Bombay as a person, to its people, to its challenges, and to its way of life.The love affair between the Rains and Bombay residents would never end, and why

On June 23, 2009, Director of Central Intelligence Leon Panetta learned of a highly compartmentalized program to assassinate al Qaeda operatives that was launched by the CIA in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. When Panetta found out that the covert program had not been disclosed to Congress, he canceled it and then called an emergency meeting June 24 to brief congressional oversight committees on

On the online version of Times of India today, I read a newstory titled "Advani lists do's and don'ts for BJP MPs". Personally, I have always been a hard critic of the BJP, and really hoped that this time, the most experienced of the BJP members might have some good advice for its party members, specially after the big loss in the recent elections.What I ended up reading was utter shit, and

By George FriedmanAmid the rhetoric of U.S. President Barack Obama’s speech June 4 in Cairo, there was one substantial indication of change, not in the U.S. relationship to the Islamic world but in the U.S. relationship to Israel. This shift actually emerged prior to the speech, and the speech merely touched on it. But it is not a minor change and it must not be underestimated. It has every
