Hmmm, its been long time I reported here. Well, phone is connected and my baby is sleeping:) I just came from Andheri, travelled in second class compartment of Mumbai local after a long time, and after a hot date with fellow commuters took a shower at 2 AM.
So you must be thinking, why i mentioned the second class compartment, well I Quit ETV! and at the moment I am unemployed, so trying to get along with the old age practice of cost cutting. I have no money to make happy my honey! So struggling. Currently, looking for both business and job offers, wants to work at both at a time, let us see where i go.
Hmm, so you have another question, Why I quit? Right?... Well, it was a contract based work to which we extended from one year to another. Worked with etv for exactly two years. Leaving ETV was really painful, not because that i was going to become jobless for a while but I felt back stabbed by someone in the channel, not just by someone there were many others too. How would you feel? when you get the same promise for exactly two years and all of sudden you come to know something really unbearable.
I worked with the channel for two years on contract basis with the promise from the top bosses that i would be soon designated as the city reporter. Although I was acting as a city reporter, performing all the tasks, in fact, was shooting too from my own camera, even met with an accident during a shoot, was bed-ridden for some months and had to cough up about Rs. 9000 for camera repair, which did not provide me any sympathy of bosses, and still on papers it was just posted as contributor! Being a BMM (journalism) graduate and having four years experience in the profession does not stand up to the level of certain so called good boys of the channel! And ongoing internal politics was just killing my all talent, hence i decided its better to quit rather crying for whole life.
I know some people may not agree with my this thought but i felt to share it here, as ETV Urdu puts me into stereo image of an Urdu journalist and sailing into Urdu journalism means closing all other doors to connect with the masses, so I had to any how quit it some day, so why not 23rd day of March, the day i resigned!
So, I am unemployed but i feel, would soon join some good Hindi/English channel or English print, online option is also available but that's at the bottom of the graph. Business plans are completely shattered, after a disastrous experience of Media Monks designed a new proposal for business loan but do not have adequate basic fund to show in my account. But I would soon register the new company as Emerald International with DIC. If anyone interested for business partnership, you are welcome :) basically, if somebody can help me out for company expenditures.
I hope for the best from life, as it has given me the best girl, it would also give me the best job! yes baby money is not a big concern, we will earn enough to survive! And I am sure Allah will not let me down on this statement, so just keep faith in me and keep smiling. Its just your love which encourages me to live and am sure its vice versa!
