Chapter 2, We played Cricket on mountains



In chapter 1, I opened about how I got into this mass communication. In this chapter I will tell you about the experiences of field. When I was done with graduation, I was looking for a job. Even though I wanted it to be related to journalism but I didn’t get one. There were people back from hometown telling me to find one and utilise my time.  My brother had a friend, who got me hooked with my first job as a content writer which didn’t last more than 20 days. Neither I enjoyed working there nor they paid enough for me to stay.
Once, when I was working there I got a call from someone whom I knew from my previous internship asking me to work for a  web portal in Himachal Pradesh. I was more than happy to take that offer into consideration and after talking to my parents I finally decided to take that. That’s how I reached Himachal Pradesh probably one of the beautiful places I have ever been and found myself a dream job.
It was really awesome roaming between mountains in late September with friends talking to the locals about the upcoming election. There were few houses where our vehicle couldn’t reach because there were no roads. We had to climb mountains to reach them to have them say on the problems they were facing and how the government was doing ?
Some days, after work we went for bathing in mountains witnessing one of the coldest natural water. Rocks were established by the water force in such a way that we had the luxury of doing cannonball and back flips which I never perfected in 4 months. We were about 10 people and one day, we had this competition where we had to keep our nose in water for as long as we can. And if I am not mistaken I won twice.  
We played country’s favourite sport in mountains near the coast of the lake. It was difficult to find the right place because there were lot many bushes and plants everywhere. Somehow we managed to find a place with less bushes and nailed the game. Whenever the ball was hit higher in the sky, incredible mountain birds use to cheer us with their air dance after seeing our gaming emotions
Population density there was way too lower than Delhi. Local people specially from villages were so overwhelmed seeing us that, they often use to offer us for staying the night. Like my friend Prem say, they thought that god has come to visit us. The only reason was, they had lot many problems and we reached their homes as journalists. We asked them to have their say on the availability of basic needs which made them comfortable to open up.  People had lot many good things and bad things to say about their present and previous MLAs.  
I will continue chapter 3 and will post in day after tomorrow.

Two days of nation love.

15 th  august is a day when patriotism for our country gets it ’s year high TRP. This is the day when all the legendary patriotic songs come to play their role to inspire us, to reignite the spirit of patriotism, to give goosebumps, to bring tears, to give nostalgia from school days of independence day celebration. Oh! I remembered, there are actually only two days in a year when we remember the sacrifices of never dying memory of freedom fighters and martyrs. Rest of the 362 days we spend on cheating, stealing, being bad to others, polluting, being corrupt or littering. We think that two days of so-called nationalism and patriotism is good enough for the country to grow and develop. Standing for the national anthem and saluting it on the republic and the independence day is not good enough to make us a contributor in making our country a better place. What we need is, commitment of the whole year, actually whole life. Everyone don’t need to do charity to become a contribut...

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 ...

Chapter -2, A story of ‘HE’ and ‘SHE’ and how he fell for her.

… he wanted to tell this to the world.  (continued from yesterday’s blog) He wanted to talk to the girl but there was something which was keeping him from approaching the girl. She had become a real and strong crush in very few hours. It was not like that the guy was shy, he had few girls in his main college group with whom he never found it difficult to talk. But with “SHE” something was up. One day he thought, he will just go and talk to the girl casually not making a big deal of it. Next day after class when the professor told the group that the class is going to attend a seminar and this is necessary for everyone to go. “HE” thought his chance has come knocking the door, so he decided to take the awaited conversation to delay one more day. Delhi’s lifeline is metro, millions of people travel in it, so were the class going to.  The night before the seminar a discussion started in the WhatsApp group where and when everyone will meet. “HE” never was an involved member o...
