Absurdity

Albert Camus once said " Any man appearing for competitive exams in India is liable to look like a geek and hence has to not have long hair".

The state of the media is getting worse by the nanosecond. Plug in to a Hindi News Channel and this is what you get:

Anchor: To ab Salman Khan aiport pahuch chuke hain.
5 mins later...
A: Ab Salman Khan gari main baith chuke hain...
1 second later...
A:Ab Salman Khan ki gari chal chuki hai...
THIS IS NEWS. SPIDERS HELP US.
