Hello everyone, Let me introduce myself through my qualities. Let’s see if you can identify who I am?
I have no respect for the truth. I prosper at every level of society. I am nobody’s friend. I am always in the headlines and headaches. And greatest of all, the more I am talked about, the more I am believed. But, still I am popular at offices, shops, parties and homes. I am the greatest pastime entertainer, which everyone wants and loves to enjoy.
Hmmm! For sure, by now you must have guessed who I am. Correct, I am everybody’s favourite ‘GOSSIP’.
