Therefore, I am
There is much more to life than what mainstream print and electronic media tells you. Welcome to my version of social media.
This is Prabeer Kumar Sikdar, an independent social media journalist with keen interests in Health, Politics, Freedom of Information, Education, Art & Culture, Features, Science & Technology, Research, RTI, Human Rights, Law and Crime, Civic issues, Tourism & Travel.
Besides, I love content writing, penning scripts for promotional and informative videos including for crowdfunding besides generating stories and ideas for them at will.
With almost ten-year record in mainstream journalism behind – first six months as sub-editor and rest as reporter with reputed local and national English dailies based at Hyderabad (the last stint with Times of India), Warangal, Dehradun and Mumbai respectively – I ventured into something exciting and uncertain in search of my true calling.
Those are lucky in lives who early in their career, manage to discover their true calling but not me, as I felt the academic qualifications and professional training I acquired including Master of Communication & Journalism and Master of Laws did not create a strong bond enough to keep me settled down.
However, I am still addicted to writing in the Queen’s language that has become my gateway to the world but via social media now. I earnestly hope my passion will again show me my next destination – which of course would be in the realm of social media.
If you have an interesting story, please reach out to me as I love to tell stories (both in text as well as visual media formats) on this platform.
You can check a few of my old selected writings published in different newspapers across the country here and latest ones on this link.
