Journeyman journo

For everything there is a season, And a time for every matter under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to love, and a time to hate, A time for war, and a time for peace. --Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Too much of turtles?


The amphibians are once again all over the Orissa press. Judging by the ferocity with which the Orissa journalists including the TV channel correspondents peddle out routine stuff on the Olive Ridley turtles, it seems all that happens in Orissa is congragating, mating and nesting of the turtles who swim thousands of miles across the seas and ocean waters. I am curious to know as to how many of them have seen a real Olive Ridley and not on the 24X7 channels. I just wonder if some people never get tired of writing so the same stuff about the turtles. Btw NDTV's Swathi Thyagarajan is the latest to do a story on the turtles. Pretty old stuff and offers no new insight...In any case read the story...
