world this week

i have grown up watching THE WORLD THIS WEEK of Pranoy Roy, every friday night. and i have always wanted to have that authority and power, the coolness.....somehwere deep within i have aspired to be him- a journalist!
life took different turns and i ended up in mass communication after all my mond boggling thoughts , if i wanted to go for my ph.d in english and add a Dr before my name like my parents.
destiny had different plans it seems. and i followed Pranoy Roy. later the NDTV became my favorite. I swear by Rajdep Sardesai, i still do. he is one hell of a journalist i would always want to be. absolutely amazing.
strangely enough, today, am just a part of that group. my first proffessional reporting. somehow silly, in doing a small assignment and ofcourse my first. am sure rajdeep sardesai did his fisrt with similar feelings like mine. yet, i felt in control and power! the press and the media is amazing. suddenly people look towards you. they want to be part of the snaps i take amd the interviews i scribble.
one night out and i know what it is to be a part of that world, the world that i saw every frday night glued to my Tv. kind of starnge and weired the girl, who liked to be covered with books and hated talking to people is suddenly out and talking to people, thts the profession.
am thankful to rajdeep sardesai and pranoy roy and of course my great boss, for giving me the amazing feeling. its good to be part of the crowd, yet hold on to the indentity. news can be so powerful!!!!
