Sardesai Quits NDTV!

Rajdeep Sardesai of NDTV has joined hands with TV18 (CNBC's indian broadcaster) to form a new news channel called Broadcast News. He has been long associated with NDTV and was a close aid of Pranoy Roy, head of NDTV.

He has been missing from NDTV's news broadcasts for the past one week and speculations were rife that he might have quit. I am an avid fan of NDTV and it's a huge loss for Pranoy Roy. It's also rumored that other news editors from NDTV will soon join Sardesai in his new venture. Pranoy Roy who is the kingpin of news channels in India shot to fame with his famed show called "World This Week" in Doordarshan a decade ago.

PS: I own shares of NDTV and the views expressed here are solely mine! :-)

Have ur say! Do you think NDTV will remain competitive?

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!!
