We carried equipment together on shoots.Īnd when the odd reporter tried to throw her weight around and leave the camera person to carry bags of equipment, cables, the camera and tripod down the stairs and to the shoot location, Prannoy would step in, take the tripod off the shoulders of the colleague silently, lightening the load.Īt work, each of us built a lifetime of stories and experiences we carry every place we go. It's the end of an egalitarian media space, where Kamal Kant ji and I, anchors, reporters, camera assistants and the women who cleaned the toilets were all colleagues. That's what losing NDTV in its present shape and form means. He was overcome and wanted to talk about the old days. Many of us are in that corner, staring at the chasm NDTV leaves behind.Īs I wrote a sentimental post about it on Facebook, I got a phone call from Kamal Kant ji, who used to be a driver at NDTV.
