Moi

Well this is my first attempt at blogging...not much of a writer. I am a journalist actually, I work in a news channel. I landed up at News Live as a reporter even before completing my Grads. Its what I always wanted to do. I love the speed of the Electronic Media, you have to work and work and work and it has to be accurate 'cause you don't get much time to cross check. My folks are damn proud of me and I hope to do whatever I can, do my bit for my society, for my people through my work, that will surely make Ma and Papa swell with pride. It is a really nice feeling when you make a story on an orphan blind kid and some well off people call you up to ask if they can sponsor his eye operation! But there are drawbacks too, like, when you get some footage of illegal migrants being moved out of their settlements after repeated warnings by the authorities and when you come back, ready with a script singing praises of the authorities, you are asked to make a story on the inhumanity faced by the migrants! But in the end its all well balanced...Life has been moderately good to me and I am quite happy with the way things are shaping up. I intend to enjoy each and every moment of my life, want to live each day to the maximum! Watsay?

And that is why sometimes, complications 'acche hotey hain'  That is one helluva silver lining, I tell you!

Well I am a reporter in a news channel. We are often sent on specific assignments to cover certain events which sometimes turn out to be enlightening sometimes dissapointing and sometimes leave a deep impact on us. Well the only assignment which had my name against it today was 'Foundation stone unveiling ceremony' of the 'Vivanta', our very own Taj at Khanapara, Guwahati, by our CM, alongwith Ratan Tata and a host of other dignitaries. After having covered the event, I came back to office and sat in front of a machine with the sole intention of playing 'Farmville' on facebook. But that was not to be as I had hardly logged in that Parag Da, our Political Editor asked me to take a camera and rush to the Assam Enginering College where Ratan Tata was scheduled to attend another function. I admire Parag Da for his efficiency, wealth of knowledge and managing skills. He asked me to reach the Jalukbari Campus within 20 minutes...Ahem...20 minutes! He expe...

The mess...the cricket...the rangolis...the fruit juice and the dosa and the new year eve parties wid the attendants of patients admitted thr! The trips to charminar market, buying trinkets and junk jewellery...the colourful bangles! The 'sewaiyya', the smell of preparations for iftar!

Everything, from the museums to the parks and the hospi...
