Off the Camera (Hindi Edition)

Having spent a long time in reporting, I believe that a TV reporter often goes beyond what is shown on screen. They arrive first at the scene and stay until the end. They observe and examine every incident, big or small, in depth. They possess so much information related to the event that they often cannot convey through the fast-paced medium of television. But every incident is a fascinating story. Only a good reporter can tell it, whether its on TV, in a newspaper, or, if not, in a memorable book. This new book not only contains stories of the hustle and bustle of reporting, but also a reporters perspective on events. It includes poignant stories of the COVID-19 pandemic, the turmoil of the 2020 government change in Madhya Pradesh, the by-elections, and the subsequent return of the BJP. It also includes some tributes to loved ones. Whether on paper or on TV, a reporters job is easiest when they write or show what is not there; And the most difficult task is when he writes or shows what everyone is trying to suppress or hide. This book reveals the truth about a world we are leaving and forgetting. The stories in this book couldnt all be part of his TV reports because TV, as a medium, has its limitations. But Brajesh preserved these stories, and now, reading them in this book brings both a sense of relief and a sense of unease. A reporters easiest job is when he writes or shows what doesnt exist; and the most difficult task is when he writes or shows what everyone is trying to suppress or hide. In this book by Brajesh, you will encounter incidents that will reveal how different the truth can be. Kumar Prashant, Gandhi Peace Foundation Once again, Brajesh Rajput emerges as a seasoned writer!
