TITTLE TATTLE


Tittle Tattle

Now hear this one. Mankind’s great leap forward is — turning toilet water into drinking water. California officials insist their “toilet-to-tap” project is feasible and safe. Residents think the idea is revolting and make people queasy!

On the same issue, now will the success of the “toilet-to-tap”, project hold back for the time being the threat of a next World War which the researchers claim will be over water? Best possible answer to this question is, wait and watch.

Isn’t there a law against photographing anyone who is just attending a press meet or a function and their faces shown on the TV without any rhyme or reason? The wishes of the camera shy or the publicity phobic should be respected! Ask before you click or before your zoom in, please!

On the other hand, Tattler is also not surprised to see those who try to scramble in front of the cameras, specially TV ones, to smugly sit and watch their presence at some do or the other. Though when their “appearance” is mentioned, with a smirk they try to feign surprise! What hypocricy among such publicity conscious people.
