Refreshed, @144
I live in Mulund in Mumbai and the family subscribes to four newspapers. We were introduced to The Hindu whenever my father-in-law came to visit us from Coimbatore. He insisted that it had to be only The Hindu for him. As a retired journalist from the Press Trust of India, reading the newspaper was his ritual. From the date line on the first page to the last word on the last page, every line was scanned and keenly read. On one of his visits in the early 1990s, we had to search for a person or a vendor who could get us the previous day’s issue. Since then, we too have become regular readers. The new look is very appealing to me. My father in-law — he faded away — is sure to have given his thumbs up. Because if it is The Hindu, everything about it is perfect.
