Neeraj Bhushan

Hi!

I am a journalist based in Indian capital city New Delhi. I travel extensively to collect first hand news & views & report with objective approach regarding the prevailing customs, beliefs, traditions, caste factor & of course my passion - politics. 

Politics interests me in particular as it affects everything else in life. I have studied Political Science, History, Law, Public Relations, Journalism & Computers among others. I did my schooling from St.Xaviers and Sainik School Purulia and further studied at School of Communication and Management Studies, India Education Centre, Institute of Computer Programming and Consultancy, Institute of Engineering and Rural Technology, BBA Bihar University, Allahabad University and Delhi University.

I have worked for major Indian newspapers & news agencies including Times of India, Hindustan Times & Press Trust of India.  

I have interviewed several personalities & have been following developments in India and abroad closely.

Interaction with people from all lifestyles has helped me establish close associations with political leaders & top personalities.   

I strongly focus on breaking news besides having ability to develop & execute strategic plans for readers or viewers. I can tackle any crisis, emergency situation with my editorial judgment & attention to detail. I also have outstanding leadership qualities.  

My views are very clear, concise, reader/viewer-friendly & well researched. I love to follow up & analyze political developments, meet people from all walks of life, moderate talk shows on TV & debate.

    It is a nice experience to go through the profile of one indian journalist with a flame of social journalism.
    Neeraj is a complete journalist face.
    I wish him greater success.

    I have been regularly surfing your blog, which is quite informative and refreshing. It is, undoudtedly, different from others. Your commentative piece on the insincere concern of the Times of India for raising the perks and salaries of the judges has really hit the nail on the head. This newspaper is, in fact, leading from the front the lobby of the proprietors for contractual appointment of newspaper employees, journalists and non-journalists included. Keep it up.

    Neeraj was always a very different than others. We have shared quite a long childhood time together at our school hostel. He always exhibited certain traits that I always appreciated. I am sure he is going to do good job as a responsible jounalist citizen of the world.

    We are proud of you buddy. Keep up the good work…

    I congratulate you for taking up social causes in your blog. .

    I came across your blog through an article posted on IndiaThinkersNet. There are quite a few articles of interest therein. An IT savvy, professional journalist is not a usual combination.

  9. Indrajit Sarkar, on January 12th, 2008 at 5:05 am Said:

    Your blog articles are good and provide latest updates. Your work is appreciated. Keep it up.

    Arrived at your site via a posting on Creativegarh. And, wondering who the writer was, looked up ‘About the Author’ to find a familar face!

    All the very best, Neeraj.

    Cheers!

    I browsed through your web log and found some nice and interesting articles. May your ‘Greater Voice’ bring you greater success in life.

    I remember the day when he came to take our history class. He was our ‘pied piper’ and turned those boring history lessons into fun. But much more than that, me and everyone from our school, Sunshine High School, Muzaffarpur, Bihar remember him as someone who revolutionised the way we thought, studied, act and even play.

    Orkut fan list tells the tale of his ever-growing influence on us, since the time he was with our school till today. He filled a different energy in all of us. As our in-charge, he brought fresh changes and made us stonger. He introduced news reading in our school assembly, where he encouraged us to be confident while speaking in public and judge which news holds importance.

    I remember preparing new bulletins everyday and I never disappointed him when my turn came. It was our dear Bhushan Sir who motivated us, then and now. Thank you sir.

    But, more than this, Sir has been my silent mentor when I entered the field of journalism. Solving my problems, doubts, blessing me with his ‘aashirwad’ and instilling faith and strength everytime i needed it.

    I was so touched when he handed me one of his early articles (cutting that he kept safely) on Juvenile Delinquency. I was going to write an article on that very topic and taking cues from his article, I went on to interview police officers, lawyers at the juvenile court (Camp Area, New Delhi) and some juvenile children as well. It went on to become my first published article.

    I pray to God for a long spell for an untiring journalist like you and wish to be like you one day (which I know is impossible).
    It is always eye-opening to read topics from your blog. I secretly wish, one day I will be working for your magazine!

    Having been an Editor, I like to think that the first step for a journalist to really become one is to get over the fascination with people who have made it, the rich and the famous.. Its in conecting them to the events of the day that we create a transition to a saner tomorrow..

    I noticed your awe of Kiran Bedi and Shashi Tharoor.. Both have accomplished a lot for someone who started from where they did. There is a lot to be said about them..

    That said, as a journalist, it will be more valuable to question how credible is one’s reputation.. On Kiran, what about interviewing her batch mates, informally talking to them, some seniors, some juniors and try to understand the person before going by what she created for herself?

    For Shashi, a similar approach will reveal a lot more.. Shashi did a great job of managing his career, used his talent to be known as a good writer, charmed friends in NY.. to become a leader is another story..

    I recall when Arun Shourie was fired from Indian Express as its Executive Editor and I was an Assistant Editor sharing a cabin next to Shourie, I asked Surendra Mohan, then Janata Party General Secretary what should Arun do next.. He lost no beat to say.. he should join the party, volunteer for sometime and see where it goes.. In other words, get in the queue..

    I do not know Jaipal Reddy (though have met him a few times) but Arun Jaitley and I started PUCL Bulletin and Sitaram Yechuri was my neighbour in Ganga Hostel in JNU, room numbers 347 and 348 and we studied economics together and Paranjoy has always been generous and I met him when I was the Editor of Dinamaan and he was working for India Today or Pioneer, if I recall correctly.. Each of them has achieved prominence in their respective spheres and it makes one feel great about them..

    It will be helpful if you pick up the key arguments, in simpler ways and put them on your blog.. Often its far easier to judge than to communicate..

    Thanks,
    Satish Jha

    I have been a regular visitor of your blog and hold great appreciation for your efforts especially the way you pick up the issues and present them in a coherent yet distinctive way.

    Opinion of others may vary on various issues that you touch upon, but you certainly deserve full-marks for the way you put up your case.

    Dear Mr Bhushan,

    I really appreciate this effort and while going through your posts (for the first time today), I really liked the post on KPS Gill.

    It had news that coaxed one to think…

    The post on Jaya Jaitley was also illuminative..

    Real nice place to check regularly.

    Best Regards,

    Aman Bandvi
