Journalism is a mission for me, although today’s journalism is neither like the first journalist of the universe Devarshi Narad nor like Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, yet I believe that if news is allowed to remain just news, then this is journalism in the true sense and I have been working on this mission for more than three decades….In this materialistic era of journalism, there have been many ups and downs in my life, I had to face many challenges but even after this I was neither afraid nor did I deviate from my path….Journalism is that part of my life in which true and correct news is my identity….
