When I was back in J School, we "inky wretches" would say that "broadcast journalism" is an oxymoron. For those in the print world, we don't have to look like a supermodel or NFL quarterback or Hollywood film star. It's more important for those who provide the face for the news and depend on those behind the teleprompter to write the news.

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?
