Me: Errr... I just saw a news flash on a hindi channel. Bomb blast in karol bagh. Should'nt we call one of our reporters or something?
Editorial person: No response. Dazed blank look.
IS SHE ON DRUGS????
Anchor:
(To me) Hindi channels carry this stuff all the time. Must be a car backfiring or something.
(On air) And its time for a short break. Stay tuned for our special report on blah blah.
Me :
(To myself) What do I care. I am about to go home in a couple of minutes anyways. Its Saturday night yippie!!!
6:28 pm.
Senior editorial person comes running in.
What are you guys doing??? There has been a bomb blast in Karol Bagh! Every single channel is on it. And we are on a BREAK???
Formerly comatose editorial person: Errr...
Anchor: Errrr....
Me: Errr....
4 hours and 5 bomb blasts later. I am still at work.
Just another Saturday night. Just another city. Just another 30 dead.
