I wonder how Mankind survived, before online social networking happened. I have been on facebook for long, but Twitter I tried really hard to resist. I who told friends that I had no desire to live a day’s life within 140 characters, now find myself on twitter.com/vasanthihari. Have you been struck by Twitteritis too?

Of all the Media `jobs” I have held, my first has to be the most special. Joining the Indian Express as
Sub-Editor in 1993 was an instant high . From handling `regional’ pages to making ‘national’ layouts even while being lent to ‘Foreign Desk’ on staff-starved days, I got
a crashcourse of everything newspaper journalism stands
for. Besides seven great work years with some of the best
people to work with.
