Good Work Vamsi...

I dont have access to the Hindu here in Mumbai. Well we bombaywalas actually think all the newspapers in india are pretty much inferior compared to the Times of India.... You guys continue putting up some good editorials and your analysis... Maybe that will make us believe that there are better or equal newspapers elsewhere...

Try logging onto www.thehindu.com and read the editorials. from whatever i've read i can safely say that in my opinion, hindu has a much better quality than TOI. however if ur an entertainment freak, then TOI is the newspaper for u cos it has both news and excellent gossip columns and tabloidssomething hindu doent have. Hindu is strictly for the purists.

Hi folks

The essence of the The Hindu is contained in the Editorial. So it makes good sense for us to analyze it on a regular basis. As said, it makes a big difference to all the CAT aspirants. So lets help promote this thread. This is one of the best threads Ive come across recently.

As Ever
ME..

LIFE IS NOT A "TEMPEST" OR A "MID SUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM" , IT IS A "COMEDY OF ERRORS", SO ENJOY IT "AS YOU LIKE IT"

[pradumn]
