Ripped from the Headlines


It is always interesting to read through the local newspaper when you are in a new country.  This morning I had time to read “The Times of India.”  Here are some of the headlines from today's paper:

“SIT names Riyaz 1st accused, Ashwin 3rd in Lokayukta case” – report about an extortion racket case

“Debris to be sent to quarries” – artificial tanks will be used for dumping waste

“A Metro station to match the grandeur of Soudhas” – Bangalore Metro Rail station will be built to match adjacent heritage structures

“Govt decides to stamp out Gandhis” – controversy about a decision to discontinue postage stamps with the images of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi.

“Vinay leads Panthers to superb victory” – news about a cricket match (which I could not make sense of because I do not understand cricket)

And my favorite headline from today’s newspaper:

“Raj hospital to use cow urine as disinfectant” – yes, you read that correctly!
