4 PARLIAMENT STREET<\/h2>\n

Hello! Thank you for visiting this page. I am especially honored to be joined by you in my fight against a corrupt system at the helms in Indian news agency The Press Trust of India Ltd. or PTI in short. Initially, I was hesitant to start writing this diary as it would involve opening the heart and putting things bluntly. But since I\u2019ve always carried a greater responsibility, I think I must join the dots, now.<\/p>\n

In this diary titled \u20184 Parliament Street\u2019, I will be using relevant photographs and documents wherever necessary to substantiate the jottings. I will also be relying on first hand accounts and my own experiences.
Postings will normally be done every Sunday evening, when I will turn into a storyteller.<\/p>\n

I assume you would earnestly wait for the weekly uploads and would think about them. Please feel free to encourage or criticize me, fairly and frankly.<\/p>\n

\u2026 Looking forward to your support and blessings.<\/p>\n

August 97<\/h2>\n

Joining PTI at its head office in New Delhi on August 1, 1997 was a good break, despite a meager stipend. We were a lot of 40 odd journalists inducted into the news agency after a difficult written test and screwing interviews.<\/p>\n

To begin with, we were quite out-placed. The PTI Building, situated at 4, Parliament Street, New Delhi, was then under renovation. Inside, there were no chairs for the new recruits. Either we could afford to stand whole day or prefer sitting on the hands of the old chairs pre-occupied by friendly seniors.<\/p>\n

We needed to be accommodated and supported. Instead, we were put under strenuous postures while discovering the new job relationship. We were never comfortable. But it was our choice.<\/p>\n

Teaching classes by seniors were the only one-hour period everyday when we would smile inside the building. First, because of the \u2018classes\u2019 and secondly, for being allowed to sit in Godrej-make chairs in the Seminar Room which had already come up in one part of the 1st floor of the building.<\/p>\n

We were to report to different news departments for next six months. It was difficult, as there were no Department Heads. Things were just running. People were just working, routinely and mechanically. Only the Sports wing had an editor. But Mr. Jagannadha Rao\u2019s responsibilities reflected more of a senior copy editor.<\/p>\n

My friends in the Hindi wing (Bhasha) were having no less complicated time. Their whole Hindi service was headless. English service Editor Mr. SD Narayan used to double up as Bhasha Editor as well which exertion he would never be fascinated about. I know the miserable computation he would get for the double duty. But he had no choice. <\/p>\n
