Live Extreme, says the ad on page one, @ManoramaDaily .The news above the ad's image flows under the product's logo and into the model, the affirming blurring of ad-news boundaries. Bit extreme, though it's the paper's freedom! News is what we use to fill gaps between ads!

“Often I hear people say they do not have time to read. That’s absolute nonsense. In the one year during which I kept that kind of record, I read twenty-five books while waiting for people.

PG Wodehouse's "Psmith at the Bank" sugests the need for a chief fire officer. If the boss wanted to shout at someone, he'll come n dutifully receive all reprimand to the satisfaction of the boss.. "Ruff" reminds me of Dennis the Menace..
Corporate life can be ruff. Between back-to-back meetings, endless emails, and the constant hustle of a newsroom, it’s all too easy to forget that your well-being is the foundation of your productivity. NDTV recently invited Oscar, our first-ever Chief Bark Officer, to spend the day in the newsroom. While he was mostly here for the head pats and the occasional treat, he accidentally gave us a masterclass in mental health.
