I overheard her talking with a couple: “You have not slept until you have slept with him” A gem to highlight how hard to put up with snoring partner! I met a ‘gentleman’ who told how he...

THE DEAD MAN GOT UP AND WALKED AWAY

I WAS jogging. I saw him on a bench. I froze. He looked so full of life. I saw his picture in the Obituaries column that morning.

A day in investigative journalism

Heard the buzz of TV cameramen and shuffling of paparazzi. I could spot a famous producer and couple of directors making hurried entry into the hospital. Then I saw a controversial hero escorted inside. The hero was brought by the police to get identified by victim. That was my first assignment as a... Sign in to see full entry.
