Signposts… October 16

From the MxMIndia Archives

October 16, 2011 was a ‘no edition day’, so we bring you highlights from October 14. Around this time last year, there was much excitement about the Indian Grand Prix. We also  carried the story on Ashvini Yardi quitting Colors as also Dina Thanthi taking over Metro Nation Chennai. We also carried an interview Tarun Rai, President of the Association of Indian Magazines. And the anchor by Prathap Suthan, who also wrote many times ever since.

Feeling wiped out even before the week has geared up? When someone says sanctimoniously, ‘You should meditate’, do you want to kill them then and there?

Then this is for you…

There’s this joke we’ve heard:

Why are married women heavier than single women? Because single women come home, look at what’s in the fridge, and go to bed. Married women come home, look at what’s in bed, and go to the fridge.

Well, this reminded us of that:
