The joy of reading News

Mausam Kaur,
After every historic indian victory I used to wait for the newspaper the next morning. After every general election, I used to get my hands on every newspaper I could find. A day after every budget session, every historic development I always used to wait for the next day's newspaper so that I could read in detail about the developments, dissect every detail possible.Who did what? who said what? How the plot unfolded? etc etc. More so on days when India registered famous victories; A win in Pakistan, Sucess in a nail biting One Day encounter or the Triumph Down Under.
Today is going to be one such day. Against all odds, India won by a thumping margin of 123 runs against the Proteas. A victory which made Sreesanth an unlikely hero (his antics against Andrew Nel were ludicrous) and helped resurrect the careers of Ganguly and Laxman.
As if this news was not enough, finally justice prevailed in the Jessica Lal murder case and Manu Sharma has now been convicted. Judges finally believed what every sensible soul knew all these years. Though the case will now go to Supreme Court but for once everyone will heave a sigh of relief.
After going through Rediff , samachar.com , Indiatimes and BBC now Itz time to wait for the print editions of HT and TOI !
Regards,
Ajj Kaim Singh
