Why newspapers publish what they do

Opinions differ on what comprises news and what does not. As a result, different people have different views on whether certain items should have been carried by a newspaper or not. Since everyone has his own favourite definition, allow me to add to the confusion by chipping in with my own interpretation, says Amar Chandel.

Misfortune is opportunity in disguise
by I.M. Soni
SOMEONE strikes you a blow on the face. What is your reaction? Do you lie there and take it — or do you fight? A great deal depends on the circumstances — you may be old, or infirm, or frail. You may be smaller and less physically fit than your opponent.
 


Capture the magic of childhood
by Thangamani
DO our children look around them? If they do, what do they see? How fertile is their imagination? Do they indulge in fantasy play? Intrigued by the question, I decided to find out.

Is Indian cinema sexist?
AKSHAYE Khanna’s role in Bollywood’s latest super-hit, Dil Chahta Hai has revived the debate among Indian feminist organisations on the perpetuation of female stereotypes on the Hindi screen. Never before has a 40-plus heroine (in this case, Dimple Kapadia) been shown to romance a man many years younger to her.
