Chapter 3 : Delhi is a tough place for journalists.

In chapter 2 we looked how good my experience was working for 2017 Legislative Elections in Himachal Pradesh.  Chapter 3 will be focused on the experiences of Delhi.

After the second year in college I always wanted to contribute to the journalism industry. Our Very respected Smita Mishra Mam who is always so kind and caring other than being a very good Professor. If I am not wrong she told us exactly the same thing in 1^st year, 2^nd year and 3^rd year that “In around 30 faces I see here, only few or no more than 5 can make it to the journalism industry”. She was so sure about it. And today I don’t see more than 5 faces from my batch in this industry. Maybe more will come in coming years but as of now she was correct.

I am lucky that I am one of those five people who made it. Although, I am struggling because it is the most challenging phase of my career and it has just begun.  20 MLAs were disqualified by President Ram Nath Kovind because it was alleged that they had hold office of profit. So for more than a month these seats were vacant and people were talking for the by-elections on these seats. Wherever election goes we follow, this time it was the national capital.

Working in Delhi is not as pleasant as it was in Himachal Pradesh. Himachal didn’t have variety of people to offer but Delhi has. People from different states live here so different minds can be found. When we were in Himachal we didn’t have to change the way of communication according to people but in New Delhi We have to. Poor’s are more vulnerable as said by some greats, gives us the benefit because they are easy to talk to. They have lots of things to say to journalists. It is very difficult to communicate with rich people because they don’t have much time to give. They have enough money to not give a damn, if the government is availing them all the facilities or not.  

Field Job is interesting as well as exhausting. Saddest part is, not so pleasant weather of the National capital. Heat of the sun kills our will to work. There comes the role of our mind, it is tested whether it could do the smart work or not. Yes, I work smartly by not wasting not much of a time and energy at the peak time of sunlight. Instead I use early and late noon to work. Some of the college friends work together and I have made some new ones too.

That’s the end of 3^rd and final Chapter. I Hope it was good enough to let you go through my journey briefly.  I will keep writing on other stuffs.
