Random stuff

Hmm....I am actually wondering what to write......

Here I got this one. It's been ages since I did a story for our paper. Never mind that! Was just thinking about good, old days of writing. It was like opening a Pandora's box... A bit of seriousness, a bit of spice, and a whole lot of imagination....and the story was a perfect page 1 piece. Only that boss didn't quite share the feeling. You see like all great writers in the world, even I used to think that my writing skills are God's gift to the world. But journalism has its way of teaching you a lesson. The copies are chopped, sometimes wisely, and sometimes in the most mindless ways possible. But on a fewer occasion our copy gets its due. The quarrel and conflict between the reporters and the editors dates back to the time immemorial, and goes deeper than the two world wars the city has witnessed. Sometimes even I have been accused of editing callously, but on most occasions I have understood it as a means of constructive criticism. However, I must confess that listening to such criticism hits you under the belt...
