Before this becomes another urban legend, permit me to clarify on the above point. The last four lines make make me out to be some self-sacrificing saint, but that is not exactly how it was. I had *already* moved out (a few weeks or maybe a few months) after a longish stint with the news agency referred to above. On learning that Mayabhushan was looking out for openings, I did mention that this could be a possibility. There is therefore no question of having "voluntarily and graciously up [my] job". As a freelancer myself, I do pass on tips to colleagues and younger journalists about possible openings, when these come my way. Others have helped me in turn. But to make me out to be the sacrificial lamb willing to give up so much is simply not true! Just to put the record straight....
