I have recently got a new responsibility. A rather fancy one. I am a recruiter for my channel. Me, a less than 2 years of experience person judges and decides whether people with more and much more experience than mine in television journalism, are suitable for my channel, NEWS9!
I am no doubt learning a lot in the process. To be a liar, to be a complete jackass but to imply in front of others, "Oh... no what the fuck do you know... I know it all.." But since I am very pathetically an optimistic person, I take it in a way good for me. I met this girl called Debanjana Choudhary today. Sexy resume that chic has... 5 years of television experience, and in channels like TimesNow, Headlines Today and before that she has worked for PTI and Deccan Chronicle... I was judging this person... anyway.... we ll be positive, we promised! So I was sitting there and was looking her. Talking to me and the channel's director.. with utmost precision and dexterity. She was brilliant. I was thinking, while she went on and on about Politics and the upcoming elections and its pros and cons and the third front and what will happen if the alliances break and stuff... that there is always a silver lining. The information that she was vomiting in front of us was in no way naturally acquired, she either read a lot of newspapers and websites before the interview, or she was genuinely faffing... So even I could do it. You in the process of recruiting, learn a lot from the people who come and talk in front of you. You learn what not to say, you learn what to say and how. You also learn the fact that this industry is full of chu.... sorry.. no foul language, full of fools!
In my current situation, I have gained lot of confidence too. Lying without flinching (i was always good at that... some fifty people will give their word for it) and also that I am really good at it. Which means that I am really good at lying... well, here I am only dragging the point. The whole idea is I am happy with my current job! Cheers all of you... Tomorrow I am going to judge a bunch of freshers from my master's college... C'mon, I can do that.... I have more experience than them guys.... EXPERIENCE does count...
Take care all of you... :)

hmm looks cool now. I guess u need to work a little on having equal font size for all ur posts and also re work on the colors of the texts. A neat blog header will also help.
Add a tagline. blabbering, ranting and bitching.. :D
