HT's magazine and the funny four

I couldn't understand what it was? It seems HT could not get the male models and decided to use its own staffers to show the impact of make-up. So we had HT's 'in-house intellectual' (no pun intended) Indrajit Hazra and three others posing as true metrosexuals in the morning.
Hazra grinning was indeed a funny sight and with him three others Samrat, Shreevatsa and Adtiya Sinha! I didn't know how to react. It was good, bad or what? The paper could not afford models, many said. Yesterday was a sad day otherwise. It started with the tragedy at Chennai where 40 persons died in stampede. It took time for North-driven channels to pick up the story. Express' story on the CPM's rigging methods in election was good. And seeing Mr Mitra shouting on television against the sting operations, I could do nothing but switch off the television.
