Language is a very powerful tool, but a tool is as productive as the tool user is. Following is a fictional news briefing, attempting to show the misadventures of language.

Delhi-The city of car pools.
A report by Paparazzi Mehta
for Breaking news every second.

Delhi presents itself to the world as a model city. It has embraced the much touted culture of car pool like no other city in the world has. Undoubtedly, there could not have been a better host for 2010 Commonwealth Games than the rapidly adaptive Delhi.

When we congratulated, Besharam Singh of MCD for providing the city with its very own car pools, he took out time to explain us the careful planning and implementation that he attributes to the success of the project. He tells us, "It was difficult to be able to make roads that burst open by the slightest of rainfalls. Potholes were carefully planned to avoid clusters and outliers. Earlier, it required heavy motor vehicle to rupture the roads, but with Tata Motor's small car Nano ready to hit the roads, we have accordingly altered the holding material used for road construction to allow for a fair playing field for Nano".

But as with everything else, car pools have brought with them their own controversy. The two civic authorities of Delhi NDMC and MCD are ready with their sling shots pointed at each other. NDMC alleges that MCD is landmarking the city with underpasses, which NDMC claims is a ploy to steal water off their- designed to harvest rain water- roads. Ridiculing the allegations, MCD cries foul at the way flyovers are planned in the city, causing rain water to chute down to adjoining roads falling under NDMC jurisdiction. While this mud slinging continues we present our readers with the following images of state of the art car pools Delhi has equipped itself with.

Amongst all the celebrations one mystery still remains. The car pools have not put the promised tap on the rising fuel consumption of the city. We met Mr Bhatija Yadav and Mr Bhanja Kumar, the two officials from the ministry of urban planning who visited Europe for a study on car pools, to understand their view on the mystery of still rising fuel consumption. Following is what Mr Bhatija Yadav had to say, "Arra budbhak, humra trip tow uyi kya kehte hai aap log- Gilobal heating- ne barbaad kar diya, sasur ka naati barsaat hi nahi hua pura mahina. Par bhai gilobal heating ke karan hum junta ka paisa barbaad nahi hone diye, pura shehar mein ghumke dekhein rahein car pulwa ka vyavastha, lekin sasura gaadi bahut kam dikhat hai wahan sadak par. Garibi bahut rahi shayad, ek gaadi mein paanch paanch log thuns ke bharein rahein, humra dilli mein dekho, humri sarkaar ka tow election agenda hai ghar mein jitne aadmi utni hi gaadi bhi pohchawenge." So, while Govt. prepares itself for a response to ill planned tour of Mr Yadav and Mr Kumar, it has already formed a committee headed by SuckMoney Seth, director for urban planning, to decode rising fuel consumption.
