News that makes your day

My usual habit in reading the newspaper is to skim over the nasty parts and go to the juicy parts. I Do read the headlines for any 'bad' news but only if it concerns me in some way or just go forward to the good bits. I read up on things which I Feel I need know about or about which I care. Usually the front page is among the last things I read...

Like comics, sports page, international, science and the 'off-beat' pieces like the tomato festival in spain or the temple to a film-star in TamilNadu... Reading such stuff puts back the wonder into my day...

I like to read these oddities as it just shows one of the things about life, just when you think you've seen/heard of everything along comes this article which tickles your braincells from their dormancy.

I feel that the news channels are Exploiting and Manipulating the innate instinct in man to need to find out more about any dangers around him. This ensures that the large mass of populace is glued to the boob-tube for hours looking at masalified repeated telecasts of how some "horrific", "tension-filled" etc adjectivated, kepplerized version of some cheap show.

I also Know that there's more to life than that!!
This is my version of the-good-news-channel.
