Reading about the door to 10, Downing Street being repainted… reading about biscuits being used to make roads safer and more durable… reading about a family tree having the faces of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip and Prince Charles, just one thought crosses the mind: are our thick, fat papers taking themselves too seriously?
I asked Nagu if she any of our papers, English or Kannada, gave her the feeling of yesterday being April 1, and she said no, point-blank.
If as serious a paper as The Guardian, London, could bring out a whole supplement on a new tourist attraction called Sans Serif (capital: Bodoni), why is it so difficult for us?
Mumbai papers were full of them. From onions being good for more than tears to Lata singing a different tune on the flyover.
It isnot at alldifficult.You are wrong.WE DO IT EVERY DAY. Ask any Kannada daily editor. Then what is apecial in April 1,when we foolreaders every day.
