Finally!!!

One good reason to buy TOI, with which I agree.

Unfortunately, even Laxman’s presence wasn’t enough for me to continue with my daily ritual of passing the paper onto the raddi-wallah after that one brief moment of homage. For a while, I continued to take it because I was rearing kittens — it was absorbent and useful for little misunderstandings during the house-breaking phase. Once the cats became civilised, I stepped aside from that value-chain.

No cats, and still you read TOI, then you need to increase that dosage lest you become completely insane.

P.S: People Down Under get to have all the fun. Now need to find out if this event is covered live on some network?

P.P.S: 2008 Batiat Finalists and their entries. FYI, Barton Hinkle won it this year. Maybe within 3-4 years I'll be shortlisted and 5 years down the line I will be a winner. That's the whole plan.
