Last time I got a "Ferrero Rocher" and this time they gave us, "Cioccolato". Seems that HT City people love chocolates. (Haan or mota kardo! ). Maybe that's why they are so sweet or made of brown sugar I should say. It's either my taste buds or I'm having an attack of exuberance 'cause these brown-looking things are tasting even sweeter than honey! Luck has chosen me for few days, I guess. HT City office ( more precisely a paradise of thoughts) is a place where thoughts, creativity and coordination sprout. I had never thought that I could ever be sitting and interacting in this office, considering my acchi aadat to skip most text pages and start reading it from the back! At this very moment, I keep a hand on my heart and with all the respect, I thank Sonal Kalra and the entire HT City for taking out their valuable time for us and keeping us so warmly ensconced. I loved every moment of it and I am more than sure that everyone who was there did. Waise, vo paneer ke pakode jo the; uski recipe kya hai? Bade tasty the!
HT City team? Any office would want a bunch like them! Every person is so friendly, so caring and so into-the-thing. I am sure Sonal mam is very happy being there boss! About the discussion, it was a pure blend of thoughts and observations coming straight from hearts of people of different ages and different background. I hope all these suggestions help you improvise and make the paper even better. And I like Bollywood! Us bande ki baat mat sunna!
1) Group-Coordination and Courtesy: Such soft-talkers and warm people they are! From the very beginning till the sad end, I heard a lot of "sorry's" and a lot of "please's" which is so not-found aaj kal. Loved their positive soft gesture and real group-coordination. But, I have just seen this bunch today, asli madness toh Sonal mam ko pta hogi na!
2) The Super-coolness: I found that X-factor on each and everyone's countenance. Confidence and involvement emanated in their true sense. They all are a bunch of super-cool folks who shower their coolness and style in the paper and make it's proud readers even more cooler!
3) True Involvement: Maybe this is the first time I have been with an editor group or it's the magic of journalism that I was stupefied on seeing the involvement and attention every one paid on this informal discussion. I was really proud and impressed by the gesture of the team, both towards their work and towards us. "For achieving big goals, set a powerful workforce, not a big one", seemly applies here. I'll call HT City lucky.
And all those Fans of Sonal Kalra (FOSK) whom I met today, you are the most funniest, friendliest, boisterous and chatty people I have met. It seemed as if you all know each other since years. With so much talent flowing around me in the form of sapiens, for once I thought that I need to talk to every one of them separately and take tips!
Should I thank Facebook or should I thank Sonu for introducing me to all of them? Btao? I'm so glad and so happy that I could be there and meet you all today. A big thanks to all of you.
Today, 4th October, 2011 was one of those days which I'll not call a day but a chapter in itself. Seldom do these happy and heart-filling days enter our lives and I am one lucky brat to catch hold of it, this time. And as for Sonal Kalra, I wish I could make her my radio, just to turn her up when I feel low (Did I just rhyme?). They often say, "Love is like a song". Ab samajh mein aaya mam ke saamne aane par dil gana kyun gata hai or dimaag mein guitar kyun bajata hai!
P.S - If anyone from the HT City team reads this post, toh yaar marna mat. It maybe is a very inept and a rookie post, but it's surely has some meaning and depth. Sonal mam, will you make them read?
Here are some of my 'sentimientos' which I felt about your team. They are completely opinion-based and are meant for HT City's whole workforce.
