Reading the newspaper every morning serves as one's daily dose of depression. But, the past week, we hit a new collective low in public life with the death of over 30 infants in two days at a government hospital in Gorakhpur. If the deaths were not tragic enough, the cover-up comments by UP government, ministers and crony TV channels, and the blame game that followed took public discourse to a new low of shamelessness and lack of conscience.
