Grammer, grammer

From the Deccan Herald: "Its not true that I've had a cosmetic surgery". Does not need the 'a'. You have surgery not 'a surgery'. Not able to explain why :-), but surgery doesn't have a singular.

Here's something amusing that happened on a recent trip. At the Hyderabad airport, I asked an employee "Which way to the exit?". He pointed in front of him and said "Straightaway sir" !!!!
