COMMENT FROM A READER

LIFE-CYCLE OF THE SUCCESSFUL GOAN JOURNO
Phase 1...He starts of as a bumbling, apologetic backbencher trying to latch onto the Celebrity (politician mostly)
Phase 2...He then takes the extra mile to feature his Celebrity everywhere (the Creativity is so pungent that You can see a womaniser in a family planning camp to..)
Phase 3...See him as the favourite quote-wallah of the celebrity
Phase 4...He is with the Celebrity's select group sitting cuddled near to him alongwith similar kins patronised by him ready to hijack the PC (Parrikar Days were notorious for this)
Phase 5...The Brave Journalist...he now takes on a Politician or another Celebrity whose stars are fading...beating the Dead. Lo, he is the new Star (vanquishing the already dead...he'll never attack the strong, mind You!)
Phase 6...The Successful Journalist (my personal favourite) You won't miss their starched clothes, often second hand cars, expert opinions.
Phase 7...Those-were-the-days Expert...government doles, plots tucked away somewhere, children in right places
Hi Pricks, I guess we need to do a sting on our own kins. BTW, the newshound says that Robin is out of even Oh, Herald, Ohhhh! just yesterday. Give us more dope on that.
