Smart-alecky
Posted/Updated Tuesday, Jul 31 11:47:01, 2012

On Monday when the Northern Grid collapsed, a Headlines Today anchor mocked Power Minister Shinde's statement that power supply was being restored for emergency services. He wanted to know about the "aam admi services". The reporter, a young boy, was quick to  add his two bits. He said emergency services is the new word Mr. Shinde has added to his repertoire...etc, What both should have known is that there are some services that are labelled "emergency" and those are for the aam admi, like hospitals and railways. Being smart-alecky is easier than being sufficiently informed.
