 A diehard fan of
Tribune
Mr M.S.Chopra, a 50-year-old engineer has been reading The Tribune for over 25 years. A widely travelled man, thanks to his marketing job, he says, “I feel incomplete without reading my favourite newspaper. Whenever I am travelling the first thing I ask the hotel staff is for a copy of The Tribune.”
He added that whenever he is in a city like Jaipur or Agra, he prefers to read the local dailies, since their news coverage is good.
Reading The Tribune is a family trait. Mr Chopra’s mother who reads the Punjabi Tribune loses count of time once she perches the reading glasses on her nose.

Majnu, the mad lover. When he met Guru Nanak, he felt that he was in the presence of a prophet who gave him a new revelation.
