Sea water turns sweet! Though irrational, this news about sweet water in the sea spread faster than forest fire and engulfed the entire city of Mumbai. 'Lord Ganesha is drinking milk!' went the frenzied rumour. In less than a couple of hours, long queues materialized at milk shops and temples across the country. It took a whole day of scientific explanation to convince spell-bound devotees that there was nothing even remotely 'divine' about this phenomenon. Yet, they stubbornly refused to see the truth.
A rumour suddenly erupts in a small town in Gujarat that ICICI Bank is in trouble. The rumour mill works overtime. And, the inevitable happens. Overnight, the country’s leading private bank has customers across the country thronging its ATMs to withdraw their money. It was only the next day that ICICI Bank’s strong denial of the rumour could be seen in print.
As can be seen from the above examples, word of mouth sometimes spreads faster than forest fire! Rumours tend to have disastrous effects.
