100 % Corrupt

Geometry problems always proved tough task for me in school days. I can still recall 'Suppose ABC is a triangle' ... and at the end, 'Hence Proved'. The dotted lines were always dotted for me. I got into memory lane when a news item Totally Corrupt in Mumbai Mirror. Suppose what would be the situation when the entire office was corrupt.

Concerned with Corruption

If you visit any news website you may find different categories like politics, cinema, world etc. The news items about corruption seldom attract news managers/editors, especially in in TV news in India, unless and untill it's very big or some big name or celebrities concerned with it. Such items comes and goes almost unattended.

But, a website has created a particular category specifically for Corruption News.
