The first call was at 4:00 am. Within an hour, every reporter worth his salt had arrived.
The chief doctor emerged, nervous.
‘Sir, this is BREAKING NEWS?’
‘Matter of national importance…..’
‘….Our right to information’
‘Do you realise We are THE MEDIA!’
The mob threatened dangerously.
‘Okay!’ the doctor relented.
‘Its a boy. bABy Bacchhan’

Nicely done!! + The picture complements the story.
Also the magazine cover is very neatly done. Thumbs up for that!
Thanks so much, Sanchit!
a nation where…..Ashwariya ko chaand dikha ki nahi ??? is a breaking news…….this one would be a prime time story….woh bhi kum se kum…….ek ghante ki…..which will be broadcast …at least 4 times a day…..till next 3 days
Definitely… the wedding itself was breaking news for a long time.. when the ‘First baby’ arrives, gosh, we will go crazy!!
Gud one, Pal…its an absolutely star crazy country…even before the stars know it, the ppl come to know it, esp the media !!! 🙂
Lol…that was a funny one! All the best!
Matter of life and death that one..this one is staying on all the news channels for months at end. Starting from..is she..isn’t she.. To speculations of what are they having..to mobbing them when the time comes near..cut to where your story ends.. 😀 😀
is this for real????? 🙂
One of the best 55 fictions I’ve ever read.
Wonderful satirical post. 🙂
Hee hee gud one… 😀 😀
Thank u Shilpa 🙂
