This was my first Diwali in Delhi outside the canttonment area. Normally I head back home to Dehradun, this time I didn't think it worth my while to actually brave the Diwali rush in the trains to head to Dehradun and instead stay in Delhi and visit some friends. Just as the evening started... I stepped out and immediately retreated into my house in horror at the assault on the senses this celebration is. Why? My Eyes are burning and my ears are itching and I have a sore throat from the smoke in the air. If I didn't know better, from the sound track I'd have thought that it is a war zone. Till yesterday afternoon I used to think that all the anti-cracker activists were nuts... Today as Diwali is being celebrated(?) I'm a convert. Ban crackers. and ban them pronto.

Digital Deliverance has More Thoughts on U.S. Circulation Declines I left the this comment on the post: The newsapper in the current form may be a losing proposition as a trend, but while this is true right now in more developed markets like America, in countries like India where TV News is in it's (relative) infancy and the internet is restricted to the urban elite, Newspapers continue to be a powerful medium at least in the near term. Of course, it goes without saying that we need to reinvent the concept of newspapers. "Minority Report" style newspapers will be something really cool. The technology for them will be available in not more than 5 years. But for them to happen, newspaper publishers need to move on from the ink on paper mentality to news, especially when technology allows us to break news real time, sometimes even faster than TV. Right now online divisions are hostage to the print news teams. So we have a long time to go. Done rightly, t...
