Chapter 1 Transition of a raw mind.


When I was in school, I always wanted to be the one hosting the functions of school. I still remember encouraging my juniors for their perfomance on Independence day, Republic day and Annual functions through my witty, uplifting and immense audience indulged anchoring. Those rehersal days were so good that I used to practice my thing even after the official school hour. On 15th August when I was in 9th,  after  the independence day program which I hosted, a friend came to me and suggested me to pursue mass communication because he thought I was good at it. At that time I didn’t even know, what is mass comm?
When I got lot of complements from the colleagues and neighbours who came at school to see me peforming, I decided, I am going with mass communication. When I was done with my board exams, I had 2 to 3 months to decide and analyse things. I wanted to take commerce or arts as subject for 11th and 12th but things didn’t go according to plan because of the family tree as everyone close to me was science educated.  I had to take science but that didn’t stop me thinking about mass communicaton. That was the time when Ayushman Khurana was video jockeying and was famous on TV. I used to observe him a lot. I didn’t do that well when my 12th results were out. Everyone was dissapointed, still I convinced my parents going to Delhi and studying mass communication. I have to say this, even though my parents are village-based but still, they were with my urban decision every time and have always supported me.
In no time I found a college suiting my Numbers on Mark-sheet. I came to delhi and got the admission. Things were going exactly the way I had planned, I was doing good in academics in my college. During my 3 years course my aim somehow changed. When I started the college, I was more into anchoring because of the glamour but the day I was done with my graduation it changed to be more of a real journalist who writes nice things than a guy who reads from the teleprompter. I met few faculties in college who completely changed the way I looked at the world.
From being a specific political-wing follower to becoming a neutral person I have to credit our young guest faculty Raj Agnihotri sir, who was responsible to change the way we saw world. He was very simple, always clean-shaved, formally dressed and only 4 or 5 years older than our average class age. We (a group of my class) were a bunch of young enthusiast who tried to be different by making a Youtube Channel and creating some stuffs only to learn how the things work. In the process we made a movie which somehow became a small hit On YouTube.
After completing my graduation I joined a firm where I worked as a reporter cum PR executive. Me, Ajay and Prem who joined the firm which was working for the Himachal Pradesh Legislative assembly elections. We had time of our life working in the mountains. There were 10 people working for the News Based Web portal including me Prem and Ajay. Prem who probably thinks, has all the burdens of the world on his shoulders and Ajay who is the wittiest person, i ever met on this planet. Few of us thought that our work was almost a paid Holiday, as we had the Luxury of a nice Hotel with quality food and nice campus to walk in the hotel we were staying.


I will leave it for tomorrow before it starts boring you. I will continue the chapter 2 later.

What happened yesterday...

I am writing after few days just because I am confused about the way things are going in my life. I have been thinking about getting a new job because I am not satisfied with the present one. This is going on for over a month and my conscious mind thinks that I deserve a better job. When you see less deserving, less skillful and less qualified person becoming your team leader, it is obvious to get these thoughts. I did journalism with a lot of hopes attached with it, that one day I will do something which I will love and I will also get paid for it but the world seems very cruel when things don’t go your way. I have been active on job portals more than at the current job to find something good. It has hardly been a year and I am having second thoughts on my career. I know that I shouldn’t get this impatient so early in my career but I could feel that I am struggling in finding an appropriate place to show my skills which is a genuine problem of this generation but more than that I ...

Review of article "Wings Over Rajpath" from Geopoltics Magazine.

Refer to “WINGS OVER RAJPATH” (Geopolitics January 2016) by Mayank Singh . In this article writer has rightly explained that how a Republic day is made more special by Air show of Helicopters, Sukhoi, Dhruv, Chakra etc. The writer mentioned that viewers either watching live or on televisions enjoy a lot that moment when tricolor flutter in blue sky playing hide and seek with our eyes disappearing in to the clouds. There are three types of aircraft which participate and all take off from different locations. Fighters, transport and Helicopters have which have different speed and they cover different locations. Visibility of these shows are really important in the overall planning of the display. With visibility decreasing the aircraft have to be brought closer to the VIP and the public and then line of sight also has to be adjusted. The author briefly described how much hard work they have to do before performing on 26 th jan and in front of the president, prime minister and thou...

Is this a start of new beginning or mere a flashback for Saffron.

BJP winning the 2014 Lok Sabha election was something everyone saw coming the day NaMo name was out in the news to lead them in the big money involved election. Since then whatever BJP has achieved in the Country is outrageous to opposition. I don’t recall the last time when the country was ruled by a single party in these many states. Maybe it would have been achieved by mughals or someone else. But this is not something, a citizen should be proud of, where second largest party has only 3 states to rule and the leading party has 21 . Democracy can only excel when the opposition is strong too. Opposition is as important as the party in power because a democratic country needs someone who could ask questions to the party sitting on throne. However the job is meant for the   media but we know they are only playing their card to make money by gaining more and more TRPs and by other alleged means. BJP has been on a roll since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Sha...
