    The terrible summer has clearly arrived early in Chennai. For what else can explain the sheer kolaveri taking place between the Mahavishnu of Mount Road and the Old Lady of Bori Bunder. The Hindu vs The Times of India sledging in Madras nalla Madras is more rivetting than the Agneepath Down Under. It...

    The Facebook Timeline is a new feature that most FB users started using (willingly or unwillingly) since the last month or so. For all those who are quite annoyed with the user-unfriendliness of this new feature, let me tell you, I have been putting up and coping with Timeline for...

    By Archana Venkat The front page anchor of `The Hindu’ recently was plastered with one “news” – Press Council of India Chief Justice Katju’s views on Sunny Leone being shown on Indian TV.

    By Archana Venkat The Press Council Chairman Justice Katju’s recent salvo has come over the front page coverage of actor Dev Anand’s recent demise.
