The thing I miss most about journalism is telling stories. For that crazy privilege of being able to ask people all and sundry about their lives so I can put in down in ink.

Everyone has a story. Just that not all can be told. At least, not in newsprint. So with every story told, it felt like a small step forward, a progressive development towards an ideal - a world when everyone's story gets attention and space.

Being in the business world feels different - Less re-tolding of stories, or digging of souls, just the re-telling of instructions and the continuous strive to instruct and mold a business plan into a story that hits more than just the bottomline.

Never wanted to be an editor much, just wanted to be the storyteller.
