I...Be that as it may, Raju Narisetti was not fired. If he was, why would he be made Advisory Editorial Director, a useless position, I agree, but still an elevated one, and one that still connects him to the organisation? Chaitanya Kalbag was fired, yes, and after that, he was persona non grata at HT (and HT was the same for him). Journalists thrive on gossip, and take vicarious pleasure on the "downfall" of fellow journalists. The fact is, that, more than not, the truth is pretty much boring. Like, in Raju's case, he wants to go back to the US for various reasons (and I have a hunch, his decision would have been greatly influenced by family dynamics). I think that is a legitimate reason (going back to the US) for quitting Mint. The Athreya issue may or may not have played a part, but why should that be brought up for the sake of bringing it up? I think it is time we let the Raju matter rest as it always was -- a non-issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-86146080486684058772008-12-31T15:33:00.000+05:302008-12-31T15:33:00.000+05:30Ask the bosses in HT why they removed CN as RE fro...Ask the bosses in HT why they removed CN as RE from their LKO edition! All because he wrote an honest piece about the CM! The bosses at HT have always been more concerned about their sugar business than the business of running a newspaper with at least some sort of integrity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
