Father shot dead in train, son gets a Railways job

His father was shot dead while accompanying him for a job interview aboard the Lucknow-bound Amritsar Mail. Ironically a day later, Chandan Gupta, son of late Shivparasad Gupta looks all set to get a coveted Railways job as compensation for his father’s death. snip


The family members say they are ready to accept the job offer. “At least Chandan will get a job now. He was going for a job interview to Lucknow with his father when the incident occurred,” said Ramesh Gupta, brother of Shivprasad.

1. Why does a post like this get an Unrec right off the bat?

The article was sort of depressing due to the father being killed, but an Unrec?

Maybe it's just me, but I thought that the post was worthy of a read.

3. Yes it was interesting, how many times do you see the word "thrice" used these days.

5. It has been a long time since I heard or saw the word used.

10. Indian English

Words which are considered archaic in some varieties of English, but are still in use in Indian English:

* Curd, where yoghurt would be more common in British/American English.
* Dicky/dickey the boot/trunk of a car<4> or rarely, to refer to someone's rear.
* Into to mean "multiplied by", as in 2 into 2 = 4, rather than 2 times 2 = 4, which is more common in other varieties of English. The use of into dates back to the fifteenth century, when it had been common in British English.<5>
* Use of the phrases like nothing or like anything to express intensity. For example, "These people will cheat you like anything". Such usage was part of colloquial English language in seventeenth century Britain and America.<6><7>
* ragging for fagging(UK)/hazing(US).
* In tension for being concerned or nervous. Phrased another way, "He is taking too much tension". Found in eighteenth century British English.<8>
* Use of thrice, meaning "three times", is common in Indian English.
* Use of double and triple for numbers occuring twice or three times in succession, especially for a phone number. For example, a phone number 2233344 would be pronounced as double two, triple three, double four.
* Use of "the same" instead of "it", as in "I heard that you have written a document on .... Could you send me the same?"

6. Why did you decide to highjack this thread

with a whine about a unrec?

[Altoid_Cyclist]

11. There's a difference between hijacking the thread and making an observation.

All that I said was that it was something worth reading and I don't know why someone would Unrec it.

FWIW, I've never used the Unrec yet so I get a little mystified at the fact that it gets used on a news item with no controversial overtones.

9. I'll bet someone has made a greasemonkey script that automagically unrecs all new threads

it would explain the speed which new threads get unreced

[Cronus Protagonist]

12. I gave it another one for your post

A "greatest" thread can't be one that begins with someone complaining about an unrec.

13. SKINNER - Can we get the Unrec feature for replies too?

[RedCloud]

2. I reced it and it is still under zero. Maybe the unrecers have a club.

4. Freepers are getting ready to go make the donuts

so there are a lot of them around this time of the morning.

Congratulations to Chandan Gupta for landing the job, although its price is probably more than he ever wanted to pay.

14. WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK PEOPLE LET IT FUCKING GODDAMNED GO!

The rest of us are just trying to read threads and shit and hear y'all come hijacking it.

I bet y'all if you let it go A you wouldn't even notice...B. You wouldn't give a shit and C. They'd fucking stop unrecing shit.

If UNREC is all ya'll fucking care about then you need to find some other shit to do. The rest of us are trying to have meaningful coversations about shit or just talk and bullshit with friends.
