|| Reporter's Diary || England Tour Of Bangladesh || 1st Test ||


It was time i join a news reporting company. 5 Years of study for my BMM and i have finally completed. My intrest was in sports escpecially cricket. I had given my resume to almost all leading cricketing website's news department. I never wanted to be in tv world though. Wanted to be a person who brings in photos and news, then leave it up to the heads how to present it making it either a action packed news or a simple informative news.

Day was 09th March when i got a call from Cricketing Rocks Website News Department and they said " Your Resume has impressed us and you have some good knowledge about your subject, Join us from tomorrow.. But one problem!! You have to start reporting immediately and cannot risk on higher basis so will send you on a moderate tour The England VS Bangladesh Tour... You have to start reporting to us from their first test which starts on the 13th of March."

I said " Yes ofcourse sir.. Will join you at office tomorrow and will leave as soon as possible for Bangladesh"

I could not sleep that night in excitement and was eagerly waiting for tomorrow morning...

Next day i got up early by 6 and without wasting much time directly jumped into the bath tub and had got myself refreshed Choose the best formal clothing i had and left for my office. The office was just 2hours away from my place and reached there by 9.30. My boss was waiting for me and he immediately welcomed me!! He said" Welcome to your first day at our Indian Office soon in 4 hour's time you will move to airport as you have you flight to Bangladesh and if people start liking your stories then may you can come back here for the IPL matches!!"

I was excited and was given a small desk area where there were some papers and one charging point!! Soon my boss came at my desk and gave me a box!! It had my own new Laptop!!

Time passed soon and i left home to pack my bags and went to airport to catch my flight. I soon reached Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong. My Co-Editor welcomed me there and we soon went to the office and then to the hotel where i was staying!!

It was Hotel Seagull a good 5 star hotel which was just 10 minutes away from the stadium. BCB had allotted rooms to the Media persons out there!! Hotel was fantastic.

As soon as i reached my allotted room my phone rang.. TRING!! TRING!!

Good going mate! I liked the idea of "phone rang tring tring" "to be continued". It seemed to arise suspense. Good luck for you story.

The first update was quiet original, and the second one too, until I read this:

Well, this is quiet a common idea. I can smell what's coming next. Let's hope you get a nice twist in the tale.

Grammar is what you need to focus on. Remember I should be a capital letter and 3 exclamation marks aren't necessary, just the 1 will do.

Good job by adding a picture though!

You might want to get simple English correct when telling someone they need to improve grammar

It's exclamation.
