Jara has become a good friend. Why wouldn't he? I am always generous with him. I feed him well and even spare my bourbon biscuits for him.
The continuous bribing has shown its effect. Now whenever he sees... Read The Article
Seriously...are you allowed to say all this...has someone from your office revviewed it or yuo just went ahead with it..i am personaly a lil surprized with your bravery. Though we all know very clearly that in the absence of the real peparatzi all nes channel have focused some amount of their airtime for it, but that is for us to talk about in open, we always thoght what would it be for the reporter who is asked to cover the abhishek-aishwarya wedding..wont he be really pissed with his job as he had ambitions too when he started his journalist career...but we agreed on 'media hai, they just need stories' ...so more than the feedback yuo get you get for this blog from readers i am more interested in the feedback yuo get from your bosses...:)...btw thanks for confirming it in open that this is not your first choice of work anyway..

This article is hilarious!! Kudos to you for showing that journalists are not paparazzi!! But you tend to behave like one in more instance than one.. When TRP takes over "reporting news", these things tend to occur.. But who is to blame?? Journos who dish out these trash as to what time Dhoni brushes to what he sleeps in, or the public who is so obsessed with celebrities that REAL news hold no value!!! I commend CNN-IBN for being the lesser of all evils presently airing news!! But there has been a rise in what you call news on your channel as well.. Which is depressing and shocking.. PS: Mr Rajdeep, Could you please not succumb to the whims and fancies of modern news-reproting and inspire others (at IBN) to have the same passion about REAl news!!! News that matter!!

Life inside a ivory tower.. very well explained and particularly the diminishing value is directly to the amount of success one has beneath his/her feet. Earlier we could see it very clearly moment a boy/girl ( being gender correct) got in civil services and other such exams. now it is Dhoni... much beyond ......

The second one is the best thing to do, even viewers are fed up of this paparazzi stuff. But then I don't think bosses as always are smart enough to understand this.

The blog exactly is a humourous account of what happens when small town boys make it really big in big towns. The riches, the glamour and several others things take precedence over age old family values for them seem archaic after a while. The challenge is to keep a balance between the two for neo-rich cricketers. Enjoyed the blog.

Good Post ! Funny ain't it, how common curtesy is inversely porpotional to popularity ! First they need the media and then the media needs them .. roles reversed ...
