  Dainik Devgiri Tarun Bharat

  Dec 1990 - Sept 1993

  Sub-editor

  Here I learned to Read, Listen, and Write...Like a start-up journo, started making daily FrontPage within a couple of months of joining as a trainee. It was a cut-paste system to design the page and colors were far away from our youthful pages...But let me share...Black and White are really and seriously beautiful and I enjoyed it for 12 years in row...three years in Tarun Bharat and nine years in Saamana...

  -The task was to give a Metro look to a Rustic Edition, being published from Metro City Mumbai. -Covering the entire MMRDA region of Mumbai, it was not an easy job to re-design the edition.Mumbai Edition also caters Raigad, Navi Mumbai, and Thane, the largest political district of India. All these areas have their own identities and readership profile and to bring them into one issue was a challenge I enjoyed.-The changed entire content made a few but strong value additions focused on surprise elements in daily issues...-The edition got the highest stall sale in Mumbai and credit goes to Front Pages designed by me.
