Good morning India!

if News reflect the most important happenings in the world around, I wonder what are we upto these days?

- With hundreds of farmers killing themselves unable to make a decent livelihood, consistently the most important news highlight during last 6 months was the issue of 'Office of profit'!

- The deadliest series of bomb blasts hit Mumbai, that agitated the whole world. Yet, the media seemed to be resolute with their focus on trying to prove 'being the first to report from the spot!'

- We see this (encircled in red) among the most important news:


- Days when all eyes were set on world cup football, the top sports news for us was:


When was the last time I read of any news related to Scientific advances in the country (if we lack it, then atleast about the need of it), news promoting social welfare or news on native Indian sports and games, in one of our leading news papers?

For most of us, a day begins with newspaper of the day asking us questions like 'Who is Tom Cruise dating this week?'.

Good morning India!
