Set the bull rolling

This was to head an article on how to fake being 'high society' or 'high brow'. Again it was so perfect it'd catch any eyeball. Rejected for ' the fine art of bullshitting'. Sigh!

POP

Given to the tribute to Michael Jackson when he died! It was perfect on so many different levels. But some thought it was too insensitive.

Vegging War

Another one for the rising veggie prices story.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Baingan

Thought this one would be ideal for the rising veggie prices story on page 1.

Agents Provocateur

I thought this was the sexiest headline for the silliest issue ever involving school textbooks. Obviously, the Boss didn't agree. :(

Picnic casket

103 people drowned in Lonavala over the last year. Yes, they were on picnic, no the headline is not mine.

No Raj, yes Rob

Racism in Britain.
Not my headline, but rejected anyway... No racism for rejection at the PM

Maharashtra Todphod Sena

Rejected for the obvious reasons!

CARDRAMA

Pune's very own chor-police car chase that took place on Sunday (July 19) morning, at the city's favourite shopping hotspot — M G Road! A cop clinging on to a fleeing car, screeching sirens, gunshots, et al! The traffic violator was eventually caught and slapped with 'attempt to murder' charge.

Rejected: By our editor Nidheesh for better one, of course!

Wanna hike? Tell us why

Students want government committee, that fixes fee structure for medical and engineering colleges, to publish details online

Rejected: Because we obviously had a better headline.

Khuda-ha-fish

Well, there was this fish for sale in a city pet shop. It was deemed extremely valuable because it had a design on it that looked like 'Allah' in Arabic. So, i kinds put Khuda and fish together to concoct Khuda-ha-fish (like Khuda ha fis). It remains one of the most 'remembered' of the rejected headlines and hence the name of the blog. Our news editor Santanu rejected it because he might have sounded offensive.

Down the drain

A man died in a drain pipe. He drowned.

Deadly tale of death

I don't know why it was rejected. The tale was deadly and it involved people dying. Therefore death.
