Reading beyond the lines

There is a reason why I buy Hindu only on saturdays. I have been looking for a house for the past 2 years and am yet to find a suitable match ( earlier I use to buy Hindu only on Sundays. I stopped it after marriage)

As hindu charges advertisers for every word, many people cut out some important words from the ads just to save some money. For those who are not used to reading between the lines, here is a ready reckoner



What the ad says
What is left out
10 minutes drive from airportIf you happen to be Michael Schumacher
copious water supply
3 buckets everyday compared to the usual 2 in the neighbourhood
Good scope for appreciation
Forget moving in for the next 10 years
walkable distance from the railway station
Pack yourbreakfast and lunch before starting your walk.
Built according to Vaasthu
We are looking for superstitious suckers
Designer apartment
It will look odd
Ready to occupy
Roof is complete
Lush Garden in front
Three pots of lantana
Excellent view from the balcony
To the neighbours bedroom
Children play area
Does your kid play chess?
