After finishing my PGD from Asia's top Media School, I made my debut with RSTV. It was my first training school where I discovered the ABC of broadcast journalism. In a short period, I explored various things ranging from socio-economic dynamics to the political culture of our nation. Humorously saying, my mentor(s) and Editor believed that I was the most studious individual. They often expected me to decipher bulky reports tabled in parliament by different ministries. The reports drafted by top bureaucrats of this country always gave me the impression that they were designed cryptically.

Gradually, I started decrypting those words and was shouldered many crucial responsibilities - research, scripting, reporting, production, archiving and so on. The Editor who himself was a learned gentleman and an expert of parliamentary affairs, always encouraged me to understand the significance of democratic polity. I witnessed different aspects of political functioning. Metaphorically speaking, I have seen the top policymakers working day and night to shape the developmental architecture of this vast nation, and have also seen the bureaucrats who used to look at rural India from the balcony of the Yojana Bhawan.

The nostalgia is so strong that even after quitting the place long back, I still cherish the moment that I spent at RSTV. Building new infrastructure is always fascinating, but how great it would have been if it was erected without dismantling the old one. Now, RSTV is no more. It's been rebranded as an integrated Sansad TV. I will miss the name, the brand, the identity, and the repute it has created.
