Hunsur: Newspaper reading is a habit. But when you do not find a regular newspaper in your hands at the regular reading time, it causes anxiety, then desperation and finally frustration. Angry calls are made to the newspaper distributor/ agent and even to the newspaper office asking why the favourite newspaper was not delivered. Calmness sets in only when the newspaper boy zooms on his bicycle and swings a newspaper roll darting towards the house.
The responsibility for getting the newspaper from the press to the reader falls to the distribution division and delivery boys and agents always dutifully patrol the roads shooting the newspapers at the destined places – balconies, gates, main doors and even lawns.
