This week, I have an interesting development. PRCI-Mumbai
is getting associated with a WhatsApp group called One Source for a get together
of young PR professionals. The Group predominantly has young and upcoming
professionals.
The event will be held on Thursday evening. BSE CEO Mr
Ashish Chauhan will be the chief guest. We will have veteran journalist Gurbir
Singh also addressing the professionals on What Media expects of PR
professionals and many Dos and DONTs for the new comers.
PRCI should have many more such networking events and
talk about them. It will help us bring in professionalism among upcoming PR
stars.
The Going Global endeavour is working well. Vinay Kumar,
the PRCI-I director, has done quite a bit of ground work. We have begun to
feelers from the US – Atlanta and New Jersey – and even Oman.
Hope all these efforts will fructify shortly.
Once a BBC correspondent was asked as to what do they when
there is no breaking news. He said: “We do homework and study the areas where
we work.”
On YCC front, I am sure Geetha Shankar and Co are working
on some plans. It is time to plan now since the colleges are shut for summer
holidays. We can launch activities in June-July.
The newly appointed YCC Secretary (National) Shreya Banda,
I guess, is getting set to take new responsibilities under Geetha’s leadership.
Meanwhile, your e-mag continues to do wonders across the
world. Our friends in the US seem to be in a hurry to give a 1,000 pageviews
and in Germany they are racing towards 200.
Mr Narendra’s piece on Pak N-Bomb is literally becoming
viral with 107 views already!
Will be back next week with some more exciting
developments.
Have a great time!
