why is every one so gung ho about MISSION statements?!

d Facto's MISSION STATEMENT.
(open to revision and subjective interpretations.)
Many well wishers who know me personally have been insisting that this blog should have a mission statement.
I find it ludicrous.
What is the point in having a blog when it has to be formal corporate entity? Blogs are supposed to be places where you can be yourself. All mission statements sound very good but are shallow in spirit and action. So I m basically against mission statements and statistics. Number One in this, First ever, record breaking.....Such superb sounding generalizations and statistics hide much more than what they are supposed to reveal.

Anyways, the humble, modest Indian in me has given away to these demands. What is the mission of d Facto?
Well, I don’t promise the stars.
here is a realistic mission statement.
D Facto is not a PR journal and will strive not to become one.
It will not provide any frills.

While we will try our best to be original, please don’t blame us of plagiarism or idea snatching. (more dangerous and widely prevalent than cradle snatching!). There is so much vaccum in news that everybody is picking up each other’s story and putting it up as their exclusive! No offence intended to anyone but these days packaging matters as much as content.
We wish we belonged to that category of people who are known for the most inaccurate info they provide and confidently package it as news. We aren’t that.
We are what we are and we are proud of it. We are NOT number ONE in any thing and yet we are proud of it. (How very Un Gujarati isn’t it?!)
We accept no responsibility for any personal anguish caused to you by our posts. If you need counseling, do consult us. We know a ypt(a young pretty thing) who is trying to establish herself as one and hasn’t been successful so far. No, no kickbacks involved there in. Like all bureaucrats, even media has a “social responsibility” isn’t it? We are just trying to make babushaahi less boring.
cheers and have fun reading.
