Index in the NewsPapers

Filed under: Uncategorized — Hrishikesh @ 14:21

Two days back, I was talking to a friend over the ubiquitous messenger, while simultaneously reading the Times of India, talk about multi-tasking. And I was ranting about how there is no index for the newspaper.

I mean, think about it, wouldn’t it be great to have a table of contents or index of some sorts on the very front page of the newspaper? You could glance across it and decide what you are going to read over the course of time. Like plan what pages to go through when you are enjoying the morning visit to the loo, and what to read when you don’t have the time (or the inclination) but must still glance at.

Then, as if there was a hidden microphone or something, they took my idea.

The very next day they published an index in the Times of India, right on the front page, and have been doing it since then. It’s not exactly the way I wanted it, but then again, it’s a start. But seriously, what the hell?

Yea, you are absolutely right. Maybe they should even keep the index some what more prominent on the front page, so instead of buying it from the news paper stall, we can directly see the contents and keep it aside. Atleast we can save some money for a treat of pastries or something of that sort.

I’ve often wished for the following features in real life:
1) Cut/Copy and Paste
2) Save Game/Reload Game
3) Cheat codes

Sadly, no one seems inclined to rewrite the universe – presumably it was written in Perl and the Programmer(note the caps) can’t understand his own code anymore…

Index on a newspaper wont make sense caz they follow the same pattern every day… also if they put all the headlines in one place.. no one will actually open the newspaper and see the ads (moollah for the newspapers)… though if times has done it.. must be making some sense.. i guess..
