Journey with Lokmat Times

I started my innings under the guidance of the Resident Editor Mr Bhattacharya and Executive Editor Mr Alok Verma. Although the innings was very small, but managed to do a couple of interesting stories during my stint with them.

I had been assigned the Cultural and Defence Beats by the editor and I was covering evrything that took place under the purview. I also did a couple of stories like a detailed story of the Weekly Haat, which had a long history to itself, from the Nizam days. I also did a feature on the Christian community before the Christmas, on the various Christian communities which had settled in Aurangabad more than a century back. The details of studying all details of the community was fun as well as knowing the efforts that went into preparing for the festivities.

Besides I covered the regular stories for the Cantonment Board as well as the Deputy Director for Health Services.

I barely stayed for two and half months with Lokmat Times and had to leave for Indore, as my father was moving to Indore for good. And there I was at Indore, exploring the opportunities in the field of English journalism. Thank God for the amazing opportunity, wherin I started off as the reporter-cum-sub-editor.
