Today's my last day at @HuffPostIndia. I'm going to miss this tight knit crew a LOT. Being an audience editor is strange because you don't have output of your own, so I'm really grateful that the stories that shaped my days were ones I could wholeheartedly get behind +
These are a few of my favourites from my amazing colleagues:
@DeshmaneAkshay's stories always clarify the ways in which this govt manipulates legal and institutional procedures, cuts corners https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/pm-cares-and-pmnrf-both-opaque-in-same-way-documents-show_in_5e8cbd55c5b6e1d10a6ad2c9

Week on week, @betwasharma's inexhaustible capacity for empathetic, humanising reporting has left me stunned. This is just her latest example https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/safoora-zargar-caa-jamia-delhi-riots_in_5ede695ec5b660b690dddcc3
There aren't a lot of people who can firmly (but hilariously) cut through the ~wokeness we see on IG but @piyasreedg's thorough writing has always taught me to look harder beyond my instinctual dislike of social media posturing to really articulate it https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/how-did-parlour-didis-become-the-internet-feminist-s-favourite-punching-bag_in_5d5fe8e9e4b02cc97c8c8923
There really aren't entertainment reporters out there who critically examine and investigate Bollywood celebrities' actions and politics, which makes @aktalkies' reporting even more important https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/narendra-modi-ranveer-singh-bollywood-bjp-selfie-ranbir-kapoor-alia-bhatt-vicky-kaushal_in_5cd0211de4b0548b735d1615
I know @rachnakhaira is a badass reporter and does high stakes stories BUT she also has a knack for finding absurd little oddities that are a joy to headline https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/preneet-kaur-patiala-mp-amarinder-singh-fraud_in_5d4a9014e4b09e72973eb312?ncid=other_twitter_cooo9wqtham&utm_campaign=share_twitter
If you're not reading @Pavan_Dahat on Maharashtra then
what are you even doing? But seriously, his profiles of politicians and stories of drama inside RSS-BJP are riveting. Here's a far more serious and important eg of his work tho https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/viraj-jagtap-dalit-man-caste-murder-pune-maharashtra_in_5ee0958dc5b6af1f3499930c

I was lucky to be part of a team that prioritises mental health and allows space for the emotional ups and downs that make us human. @RohiniChatterji didn't just exemplify that as a presence in the office (before covid) but also her writing https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/mental-health-lockdown-online-therapy_in_5eb54913c5b65cbe8b0b9000
. @manicpopsicle is the source of all wry wit in our copies and excellent gifs but she's also responsible for the 0-100 increase in my fish fry consumption since I joined HuffPo and the K-drama hole I'm about to fall into https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/korean-dramas-to-watch-on-netflix-right-now_in_5e8f384ac5b6d641a6bb55bc
Life's been pretty absurd and unfathomable and fraying for Indian journalists for well over a year now, and there has almost always been a meticulous and clarifying explainer or interview by @akshijain10 to help with the confusion https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/modi-govt-india-china-standoff_in_5edf2f97c5b603fb68d4843d
You're going to find @SharanyaHK's editorial influence in pretty much every story on HuffPo, but our book section is her labour of love and home to listicles and personal essays and complex emotions that I never expected to find on the Indian internet https://www.huffingtonpost.in/books/
Then there's obvs @Amannama, whose work I read way before wriggling into this whole journalism thing and never thought I'd actually know. His hand's in all the stories you know HuffPo for — ABM, Electoral Bonds. But anyway, here's a piece of his https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/kashmir-erased-article-370-scrapped-indian-democracy-in-darkness_in_5d47e49be4b0acb57fcf1b4d
It's wild to have bosses who care about your growth, not just your output and I really lucked out with @gopalsathe, who didn't just teach me this job but also took the time to help me organise myself. I loved his tech+ppl stories https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/itilite-enterprise-gamification-rewards-travel-booking-health-insurance_in_5e1df84bc5b6da971d1df87b
