Take a hike.....

Our friends in the print media need this as a bit of advice. All they need to do is go a few miles outside the city to discover the contrasting nature of problems that people face, and that merit serious media attention. The Telugu newspapers--'Andhra Jyothi' and 'Eenadu', for instance, are streets ahead in this respect, as are the regional television channels.
In recent weeks the TOI has highlighted the indiscriminate nature of hysterectomies being performed by doctors in rural areas, in this instance, Medak district. The 'victims', one doubts if they could be called patients are as young as 15 and 16 in some cases. There's a follow-up story in this morning's TOI. Good show. While rounding off, one needs to say this again to the English--take a hike and see what's happening just a few miles from the city....
