Have you heard of J K Tripathy?
October 4, 2007 – 2:13 am“Have you heard of J. K. Tripathy?”
“No.”
This is the (almost) unanimous response. I do not know which is worse - this lack of awareness, or my lack of surprise at the answer.

It was a day like any other. It was a little difficult to listen to the news. There was hardly anything new in it. I could not easily distinguish the news of that day from the news of the previous day. It occurred to me that the Seven O’ Clock News had not changed much since ‘67.I wondered what made the news so… well… irrelevant. Was it the media, the public, or both? Was the media airing convenient news because that is what the public wanted? I did not believe this to be true. Still, I could not claim that it was false. I had no answer.
