App for the Day: CCleaner

2011-05-23T01:55:00.007+05:30

A friend of mine forwarded an article which was sent for publication in a local daily. Glancing through the paragraphs I found that the article is mainly about how the writer feels about the leaders we have and how bad they are at what they do. He was good. He was a very good complainer. I guess its an ‘IN’ thing to be good at criticizing, whining and yammering for the modern MIZO writer.
