[Assam] so you wanna be a journo?

[Chan Mahanta]

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am a graduate. And I am fresh too. A journo I 
do wannabe. So here is my spiel:

The ad copy should have read:


>so you wanna be a journo?               ç if you 
>are a bright, fresh graduate and can spot the 
>errors in this advertsment; its imortant that 
>you male us on: edit at outlookindia.com with the 
>corrected version of this ad and your CV. 
>strictly no phone calls. oh yeah, but do put 
>"Application" in the subject header of your mail.

**** So you wannabe a journo? Dream on loser! If 
you are a graduate but fresh  you need not apply.
What might seem imortant is hardly so, just like 
it is not imortant that you be male. Actually we 
prefer you femail to us at edit at outlookindia.com 
with the corectted version ( as in Krazzy 4 U) 
along with your civvies, which are not 
returnable. Phone calls will disqualify you 
summarily, so don't even think of it. And 
finally, don't forget to include the subject 
matter in the femail header, which should be 
"Applicator".

Here I am. Do I qualify?

Yours truly,

A Wannabe Journo NOT.
