Even an Elephant Can Slip!

Like most people, each morning I read my favourite newspaper while sipping hot coffee. My favourite newspaper? It is the Deccan Chronicle (Chennai edition).

Yesterday (Sunday, December 29, 2013), I was intrigued by a news captioned “Hindu married to non-Hindu can’t get divorce: HC” on page 7.

I was in for a shock. The news that followed had nothing, even an iota, to reflect the caption.

So, the adage: “Even an elephant can slip,” has once again come true!

If you are curious you can read the news in “The Times of India” under the title: “Hindu married to non-Hindu can’t get divorce under Hindu Marriage Act: Bombay high court” (PTI | Dec 28, 2013).

  1. A mistake made by a printer is called ‘Pritnter’s Devil’. But a publisher of the calibre of Deccan Herald must be a host of devils’ error.
