Professional friendship

I had always desired to have a chat friend who should be a journalist, I being a budding journalist. Somehow the profession excites me from the days I came to know about the profession. A particular international incident shook me a lot. In fact, I was so motivated by the reporting that I decided to share my thoughts with all of my friends and acquaintances. As I did that, I did not expect much response from the readers. But after opening by blog after a week I found three comments written by the readers, and one of the comments was from a journalist.

I was totally elated to find that a journalist had read my piece. He had also left his e-mail id with the comments. I could not believe that my dream had come true at last. I immediately sent him a chat invitation citing my desire. After a weeklong wait he accepted my hand of friendship. Today, I often discuss many volatile issues with him that has been in the limelight for quite sometime now. He is the real motivation in my pursuing journalism as a career in my life.
