My daughter's friend (aged 6) and my daughter (aged 9) were scribbling all over the newspaper today and going gaga about it. They were breaking into fits of laughter and doubling over. It was so much fun just to see them. All they had with them was a black pen, one for each of them, and sheets of Times of India newspaper including the Bangalore Times.
After a while, they both came running to me and showed what they had done:
1. They had blackened all occurrences of the word "Covid" on the main sheet.2. There was a photo of a model, barely-clad, and the girls had drawn a dress and covered up all the exposed skin.
Just goes to show how easily two young kids can understand negativity and not-so-nice stuffs to something good! It is such a little act and yet so portentous - loads of learning for the Editorial staff of major dailies.
