INDIAN journalists write about everything under the sun except what goes on in their own profession-largely out of a fear of being blacklisted by the powerful press barons and banished to the uncertain wilderness of freelance writing. It's understandable then why Tharyan, former editor of The National Herald, waited to retire before reminiscing about his forty years in journalism. Anecdotal and insightful, this book is a no-holds-barred inside story of our newspapers. It leavesone sad and depressed.
