One section of the journalist community in the capital is pretty unhappy with the advance of Internet in the country. Colleagues in the photo section of the newspaper have a lament that Class 10 and 12 results these days do not translate into a stream of students making it to their schools since most of them would have already checked their results on the Internet. This time around, more than a dozen photo journalists waited impatiently for over three hours for a crowd to turn up at an up-market school; at the end, only three girls came and that too individually. Their day was finally saved when the Principal of another school organised a small party for the students since results from that institution had been exceptionally good. Next day, most newspapers featured the same set of students who were coaxed to put up a show of jubilation.
