How can a director send his equal ranking colleague to do an inspection? <BR/><BR/>This director, unlike his predecessor hates to hear any panchayat cases. The lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank, cause they get paid handsomely for just taking an adjournment.<BR/><BR/>Is there no journo who lives in a panchayat area? or perhaps know someone who lives there?<BR/>GT has done well so far. Let's watch out whether other papers carry the story of whether the director submits his report today.<BR/><BR/>I hear there are over a thousand cases pending, some of which exceed 14 years!<BR/>BTW if some journo is interested, he/she could ask under right to information, the number of cases this director hears and do a comparison to his predecessors.<BR/>You want the shocking answer...? <B>It averages close to 0 a month!</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-72111335463238889232007-10-25T15:29:00.000+05:302007-10-25T15:29:00.000+05:30Hey pricks,Check the story on `banglaore lovebirds...Hey pricks,<BR/>Check the story on `banglaore lovebirds'in Herald and GT.<BR/>See the difference in reporting.

There exists an even more ancient treatment practiced particularly in northern India. It had even grabbed the the attention of Late Moraji Desai. Urine is the elixir of life!<BR/><BR/>Derek Almeida of Gomantak Times has become a disciple of it. Please read the Gomantak's Weekender of this past Sunday. The column called 'FootLoose' (on Pg. 2) goes into the nauseating details. <B>He claims he cured conjunctivitis with his pee!</B> What's Derek going to suggest next? Eating Cockroaches or perhaps the Mongolian drink where women chew on the pulses before serving it in a drink, or dogs as in Nagaland? Are there any medicinal properties of poop, Derek?<BR/><BR/>So penpricks, don't recommend these guys to the doc, for instead they need Derek's shock treatment.<BR/><BR/>Did you guys miss the story of that Dempo college principal on the front page of the same Weekender issue? The report does not name the persons of the Goa State Commission for Women(GSCW). Is it a move by the Congress' Mapusa ticket aspirant Mrs. Salgaonkar to clandestinely enter articles for candidate & voter recall value? The report suggests, that the principal(defendant) was not summoned. All the witnesses state is that the lady visited the principal's cabin very often. <BR/><BR/>The aspects that Weekender failed in are<BR/><BR/>1. Isn't a newspaper expected to ask for the other side of the story? (namely that of the principal)<BR/><BR/>2. If someone visits someone's cabin, is that suggestive of something?<BR/><BR/>3. Do staff of college watch out for people entering the cabin?<BR/><BR/>4. Does that make for front page and that too on the weekend? Did Gomantak learn of it only on the previous Saturday?<BR/><BR/>Pee treatment is the way to go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-86118919554014913402007-10-24T17:11:00.000+05:302007-10-24T17:11:00.000+05:30I hope GT does not go the Herald way.GT is one pap...I hope GT does not go the Herald way.<BR/>GT is one paper i prefer for quality news and views.<BR/>In any case must appreciate the good work done by the penpricks.<BR/>I suppose all the publications will also take penpricks in the right spirit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-62410302804518937142007-10-24T17:06:00.000+05:302007-10-24T17:06:00.000+05:30I think our friend Andrew Pereira (crime reporter ...I think our friend Andrew Pereira (crime reporter GT) will shed more light on FIRs. <BR/>Probably he can conduct a crash course for his unintiated colleagues.<BR/>Can't trust Franky from herald.
