Daily Heart Drik News Update Broadcast
Music~
Shovo Ratri. Good Evening. Here are your Drik News Updates. I am your presenter, Gwen "Yo!"
At exactly 1310hrs (Bangladesh Time) today, a small rowdy procession matched past Drik office today. One of our in-Drik reporter, Goan "Yo!" was extremely intrigued by the noise the procession was making and ran up to the rooftop to investigate further. She brought along her camera to take pictures of the scene, hoping to have something to report on, perhaps another hartal.
However, at the rooftop, the procession had gone too far for any meaningful pictures to be taken. All she could get was a picture of a group of people standing around, between the holes of the dusty trees, looking like they were shopping at the street markets. On top of that, she was told that they were only chanting "Bangladesh! Bangladesh!". The procession was in fact, a group of cricket supporters who were expressing their excitement that Bangladesh had won a cricket game in a match against India or some other country.
Our reporter was much too disappointed and embarrassed to report this piece of news herself and asked me for the favour to report it on her behalf. I hope she will recover from the embarrassment soon, as there are already so few people working on this bulletin, and added workload on this presenter might just force her to quit her job.
Now on to some business news.
The multimedia department of Drik held interviews yesterday for a new team leader. The current team leader will be leaving Drik to go to Japan on the 30th of January together with his wife, who is Japanese. Our only other reporter left Gwon "Yo!" has more.
"Hi Gwen. Although I can't imagine why reading just one more bulletin for one day would force you to quit your job, considering you are a slacker like all of us, I will refrain from saying more. The team leader is indeed married to a Japanese. The reporters of Daily Heart all agree that it is very cosmopolitan of him, despite the fact that she has been living in Bangladesh for some time and can speak some Bengali. It does not change the fact that at least one person in this place does not despise us yellow-skinned people. (Which is not to say that the others despise us, but at least we have concrete evidence about this one person.)"
"The interviews were held yesterday. This reporter found out about it when she saw two very unfamiliar, nervous and extremely tense people sitting outside the Multimedia Room. One was dressed in a nice suit, the other in a shirt with pants that look a wee bit short and with his socks folded down. This reporter undeniably feels that the first rule of having a good dress sense is that the pants should not be too short and socks must not be folded down when the first rule is broken."
"That was already a very queer sight. On top of that, Rajib was found wandering the other rooms of Drik, which is very uncharacteristic of him. He is usually at his computer, or otherwise have meals at Drik Cafe. Nowhere else. (Probably visits the toilet too, but this reporter is not a stalker and does not wish to know such details.) On interviewing the other people in publishing, this reporter found out that teamleader interviews were being carried out. On top of that, the salary of a teamleader ranges from Tk12000 to Tk14000, which is good considering that the others get only Tk8000. No wonder those two men were nervous."
"This reporter had the privilege to read the CVs of the interviewees today, when she walked into Multimedia to 'Kaypo' about the interviewees. She discovered that there was one particular candidate who looks very much like the current teamleader-with-the-Japanese-wife). However, his CV was not in the least impressive. (To this reporter at least, Jess thought it was great!) The reason this reporter was not impressed, was because she first read the CV of the guy with the pants that are too short and the socks folded down. That guy is scary! He's almost brilliant! He can do anything with a computer in terms of web designing and management, graphic and animation designing. He was the total shoo-in for the position!"
"But according to the current teamleader-with-the-Japanese-wife, they are not only looking at the knowledge and experience in Multimedia, they are looking for someone with leadership qualities (namely bigger sized). Do not ask this reporter about the logic behind this whole concept of leadership=big. It is beyond her too."
"Now back to the I-will-quit-my-job-if-I-talk-too-much-presenter, Gwen."
Thank you Gwon. I did not know Daily Heart hired a fashion commenter. She must not be an expert in it I'm sure, since she does not even shop very much or very well, and is not in the least dressy. She only wears jeans, with a tee shirt and a particular maroon jacket, with white sketchers shoes everyday. But that's just my opinion.
And for that matter, all you listeners, this presenter was not that much of a slacker today. She had been making full use of her time to obtain Adobe Illustrator in her laptop to practice what she has been learning from Atiq. She has also been looking at the nice pictures taken by the in-Drik photographers and has tried her hand at taking pictures. So far, she's developed some rolls of film and is waiting for a chance to go and get them scanned at a fuji shop, so that she can send them home via email. She can even proudly say she's learnt abit about FTP and php in web & database management, even if it isn't much.
Now where were we? Oh yes. Some travel tips for you. Please be aware that on the roads, people spit and dogs poop. WATCH WHERE YOU STEP! Also, do beware of the cars on the road. They are driven by mean, rude, arrogant rich people who can't stand anything in their way. So they will not stop for you. And, if you are in their way, you'll know. Cos they'll keep horning you until you clear their path. When this happens, do refrain from calling them a bad word. They are not worth your time or effort to do something so low-down. Instead, you could try annoying them by walking in their path for as long as possible. Although you might get hurt.
Finally, we have our new gossip columnist Gwyneth "Yo!" to fill us in on some of the daily not-at-all-important-happenings in Drik.
"Thank you, Gwen. I am new here today so I will pretend not to be offended by the snide remarks about my column. But I can assure you listeners that my news is very important information. Although there seems to be a lot of tension in this air."
"Lately, the people at Drik have been bringing their families to work, much to the amusement of this reporter and her fellow Singaporean counterpart, Jess. Atiq brought his whole family today, wife, son and daughter. The daughter looks like the mother, and is such a curious little girl, while the son has his father's eyes. This reporter feels that the son is quite a handsome young boy, even though he's rather shy. Perhaps that's his appeal. But I can assure you that this reporter does NOT go for younger guys."
"I'm sure there are other important gossip news to be reported but the air here is too tense and this reporter is now no longer able to recall any of it. So, that's all for gossip news today!"
Thank you, Gwyneth! And that's all for Drik News Updates! Stay tuned for the next update, which will be broadcast whenever this Editor decides to broadcast. After she has dealt with her unruly reporters. Daily Heart News Bulletins. Broadcasting all the news fit to broadcast!"
