Why you should...
...indulge in gossip

  • Illustration by Sandeep JoshiBecause you have a loose tongue. It can’t help wagging.

  • Because you are an idler. You’d rather talk than work.

  • Because your mind is a devil’s workshop.

  • Because you would rather peep into others’ lives rather than look within yourself.

  • Because you believe in absolute freedom of speech.

  • Because you like your tongue to run away with your wild imagination.

  • Because you don’t want to suffer from indigestion. Pet mein kucch nahin rakhna chahte.

  • Because offence is the best defence.

  • Because you love hurting others.

  • Because gossip is a double cocktail. It gives you pleasure in the first place. And then it gives you more pleasure because it causes hurt to someone else.

  • Because gossip is tomorrow’s news today.

  • Because it can be a shortcut to fame. You can achieve the exalted status of gossip queen/king in your circle.
