27th April, the last day of our ten-day trip had arrived, albeit not the least. Time seemed to have flown as they loaded the bus with their bags one more time. Our last appointment took the group to the impressive CNN-IBN studios in Noida. A great experience was what ensued as they looked around the studios and a peek inside what 24 X 7 news that pretty much influences our lives was like. From watching a newsreader being broadcast live to a highly interactive session with the Founder of CNN-IBN Mr. Rajdeep Sardesai, the experience was unforgettable. Mr. Sardesai explained to, them aptly comparing it with a perpetually hungry beast, what 24-hour news TV is like and what are the challenges one faces in due course. Life, through, the eyes of a journalist indeed looked very different. Having spent time there, the party returned to Connaught Place, Delhi and were left for a couple of hours to enjoy their last stint of the Delhi romance.
