"It" made all the difference!

Before June this year, ‘CJ’ for me was Carl Johnson from GTA. But now, it’ll always be campus journalist — the title, the column, and most importantly, the experience. This was not just another internship. It was an interesting ride into a profession for two months.

In fact, among many interesting memories and lessons, the most important one for me was doing things in a professional way and writing on a specific theme. To experience the working of a newspaper office first hand, to see so many people working for every inch of space in a national daily was both exciting and inspiring.  

The busy location of HT House made the experience better. I remember visiting Agrasen Ki Baoli for the photo shoot. It was fun hanging out in the lanes and cafés of Connaught Place after our weekly meetings.

It was also nice to have met other CJs and having worked with them. Group chats over WhatsApp and conferences on Skype kept us busy for weeks before college began. 

The best part was the fact that I was not just another homosapien on this planet. My name in print did matter. The most satisfying bit was to see my mom’s face light up after she saw my byline. I hope to keep  up the hard work.
