Making news

People make news for various reasons. For good causes or bad. Rafael Nadal of Spain splashed into the newspapers for being a consistent clay court performer. He has barred the mighty Federer from winning the coveted winner's trophy. Apparently Roger Federer isn't invincible. Sportstars life-span is short. There are always competitive newcomers snapping at their heels. They have to work very hard to stay in the limelight.

In Delhi, a 14-year -old schoolgirl was found murdered. Her death pointed a finger at a close relative. Her own father. The accusation may bear little or no resemblance to the truth. But it certainly created a sensation.

Sanjay Dutt is the perenially painted figure of a 'bad wolf'. He overcame his depression at being jailed by marrying Manyata Dutt. Jaillife doesn't seem to have marred his spirits.

Pramod Mahajan's son made news for being a hot-spending socialite. His marriage to childhood sweet-heart and later break-up close on the heels of his father's death was prominently publicised.

Newspapers pick up leads and help the common man make up his mind over various issues. They are a pointer in helping people come to the right decision.
