Biblical beauty: she strides into the features bay at 11 am in the morning, smiling and waving at anyone who acknowledges her presence. This biblical beauty of the features team is a one man army of a personal finance show. And with handling this immense responsibility (which includes dealing with two other difficult people), she manages to also counsel two ‘juvenile’ boys of the neighboring news features desk everyday. Sometimes you see her talking to strange men who have sent her several emails from different email addresses but is actually the same person who desperately wants to come on television. And sometimes you see her sipping the nth number of tea cup in anna’s canteen. This always cheerful and happy girl brings a smile on the faces of the distressed souls of the features team.
The rural journo to be: A person, who was destined to be reporting on the poor and the helpless of India’s rural heartland, ends up on a career show. This, pretty much sums up this Bengali girl’s story. But hopefully she’ll crack it someday. Till that moment of glory arrives, she will stay our very own extendable hand. The name comes from her uncanny ability to sense food around her. From nowhere she’ll come right next to you if she sees something remotely edible with you. This girl’s story is full of contradictions but will talk about that later on.
A Buddha that can scare you: a fragile girl comes up to you seeking help. She looks helpless, unsure and even confused. You would think of her as a sweet, docile and a soft spoken girl. But the facet that is relatively unknown is that she can be quite a tigress if she wants her work to be done. She not only cracks the show every week but also cracks a whip on her team mates if everything is not under control. Even without slightly raising her volume, the sternness in her voice will make her team mate scurry away to finish the pending script or an unfinished edit. But I would like to end it by saying she is an angel at heart who will always lend a ear to your daily whining. But there is one condition, finish your work first!
