Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2003 09:42:21 -0500 (EST) From: Mahim Mishra To: toieditorial@timesgroup.com Subject: Summary of your front page Dear Sir/Madam, Pardon me for being a little late. But late or not, here it is again, my almost-daily summary/categorization of your front page (see http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mahim/toi for what came before). Before I go on, it would reassure me a lot if I knew there was someone at the other end reading all my labors of love. So, could you please let me know? A simple one-liner would be fine. You can make it anonymous too, since your overlords at the ToI are not likely to be very happy about you writing to me. Maybe it would be best if you didn't mention this at all. Just send me an e-mail - any random junk text would do - with "Kabuliwaala" in the subject line. That would let me know. If that doesn't work for you, you could also wear a blue and white striped shirt to work tomorrow. I will know that you have read and you care. On to the summary. 1. India struggling to avoid follow-on at Adelaide cricket 2. Microsoft to abort Win 95, 98 news. But seriously, the No. 2 lead? This did not make it so high even on tech. websites 3. Organisers threaten to axe India (Sports) news 4. Hotshot Hrithik 'jobless' now movies and half-naked women 5. Mel B steals lesbian's thunder movies and half-naked women 6. Serena set to top rich list etcetera 7. I don't want to be CM: Judeo news (you are getting the benefit of doubt here) 8. Spooky house stumps rationalists etcetera 9. Porn fuels Kenya's Internet boom etcetera I'd give you a 2.5 for today. That's it for now. I shall wait to hear from you.
