And i'm proud again

Was going through the news (fine, just the gossip section) when i came across another brilliant piece about my countrymen - unruly behaviour on a flight under the influence of alcohol.

Well, nothing new there, i've seen that happening so many times on the Delhi buses and trains throughout the country, and well on a flight is also not too much out of the ordinary. So what, they were asking for alcohol on a flight, everyone likes to drink on an air journey, be sloshed and start the hangover on the flight itself. So what that they were flirting a bit excessively with the airline crew, everybody does that, right (As long as the subject is better than average looking, i'm a strong proponent of flirting).
What really pissed me off is that the said incident occured on December 30th 2009, and my paper printed it on Jan 12th 2010. What use is the paper if it reports important, and interesting occurences a fortnight late. If it had sent me that particular piece at the correct time, i'd have a Happy new year, using the incident to complement my booze filled escapades with the ladies.
Oh well, another reason to be sore with the press!
