Reason calls it quits

In a startling decision, Reason has announced that it was leaving the media sector forever. The move climaxes years of silent struggle and humiliation as the Indian media outlets across print, electronic and web platforms have been treating Reason with utter disdain and contempt.

“Enough is enough. I am leaving with a heavy heart. I have realized that I have no place in the media anymore,” Reason said in an emotional farewell statement.

In a moving recount of its journey, it said how logic and reason used to form the bedrock of journalism in the past and how, over years, the basic tenets of the Fourth Estate have been compromised and corrupted.

“Like how script has become irrelevant for Salman Khan’s movies, I have become irrelevant for media analysis,” Reason lamented.

Potholes declare themselves as a sovereign nation

Potholes in Hyderabad have declared themselves as a sovereign nation and vowed to resist any attempts to tinker with the state of the city roads.

The decision has been taken ahead of a rigorous monsoon season, a time when potholes become the sole destination for rain water seeking shelter. “We have been facing humiliation by commuters. They hurl choicest abuses at us every day. This is hurting our sentiments,” said a spokesman of the Large and Medium Potholes’ Association of Greater Hyderabad.

“Enough is enough. We cannot swallow these insults anymore. Just leave us alone,” the spokesman said. Already, the impact of their steely resolve to become an independent entity is being felt by the road users. The city traffic is brought to a grinding halt every day, thanks to the brave and resilient fight put up by the potholes.
