Introduction

Bless you all who stand up against corruption.I just joined, and I would like to extend my cooperation in whatever ways possible from my location. Let me introduce myself briefly-

I have opposed corruption since college days, when I did not get a job with the government after passing out of FTII,Pune, I refused to go chasing Mandi House mandarins for a job in Doordarshan. My dad fought corrupt officials at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar,Bareilly, for five years, not caring for threats to his life,and was eventually transferred from Bareilly to New Delhi, after a corrupt official who wanted my dad out of the way, bribed the Ministry officials at ICAR,New Delhi,and ensured my dad's transfer.Being honest,he could not afford to build his own house even.He is my ideal, I respect his gains of spiritual strength derived from being honest.

In Delhi,I worked for the media, starting with a job in PTI, and then various media organisations, Music Industry,Television and so on.Upset with the extent of corruption in India, and the lack of recognition of hard work in India,I left India in 1999 seeking employment in the middle east.I found that abroad,if you work hard, you do gain some respect for your work.I am glad to be with IAC now, bless you all who stand up against corruption.
