Dog tales
Clearly upset over the procrastination on part of the Municipal Corporation when it comes to dealing with agenda items, a councillor stated that the MC was merely like a dog chasing its tail.

Be it the garbage plant, dog bye laws, parking allotments, almost everything is mired by delays and needless controversies.

Waterloo
The violence witnessed at DAV College in Sector 10 is deeply regrettable and reprehensible. Whether action taken by the college principal was strict enough to deter any such instance in future is debatable, but he surely is drawing some interesting comparisons. Some of his predecessors feel that his strong 'action' is akin to those taken by Napoleon Bonaparte. The comparison is pronounced as our principal is short in height just like the Little Corporeal. We just hope that his action turns out tobe the Waterloo of the violent elements in student politics.

Begging for change
The Delhi government has decided to remove all the beggars from the streets of the Capital in view of the forthcoming Commonwealth Games. The efficacy of such a sweeping announcement remains suspect, but the counterparts of Delhi's mendicants in Chandigarh are becoming all the more obnoxious. There are some markets, especially in Sectors 8 and 35, where one cannot roam without being accosted by these beggars. They chase you till the car and if they notice you owning a hatchback, their pestering includes a wish that you get bigger cars !
