Yesterday ‘The Hindu’ daily managed to give an entirely different award – the ‘Yudhistir’ award -to Shankar Melkote in its columns. I wonder how they got the name of the award so totally wrong. It should have been 'Yudhvir' award. It could have been an oversight by the sub-editors but imagine the disappointment of its trusted readers when they notice such bloopers.
Starting today, The Hindu is coming out with a new supplement on Saturdays that is being called ‘Metroplus Weekend’ in place of the regular 'Metroplus' supplement which had more pages on Saturdays. The new supplement is in a different format, more like a tabloid and is all about Lifestyle, Food, Music, People, Fitness, Leisure, Events and Gadgets. Whatever it is, it is a welcome change from the usual broadsheet supplements.
Also, the Friday supplement for the kids, “Young World’ is now being issued on Tuesdays. Perhaps they would have learnt from their readers that Tuesdays are the dullest days with nothing much to read. It doesn’t make any difference to the kids who love to read them anyway.
Today’s supplement of ‘Property Plus’ carried a letter I wrote to the paper in response to an article in which certain dangerously toxic pesticides were recommended without any sort of caution. As I deal with that subject in my job I thought it was necessary to tell them so. My letter was much edited and published in the ‘Home Blog’ column.
Of course, tomorrow is the first Sunday of the month which brings with it the 'Literary Review' supplement in 'The Hindu'. I am eagerly waiting for Sunday to dawn to read the much awaited supplement.
