Filling in big shoes for a week

Not that I'm complaining about my modest creative shoes, playing the role of an editor for a week has been one of the most thrilling roller coaster rides of my life.

Just like the movie "The Hunger Games", one of us would be chosen for the position each week. Nomrota was the first one selected. Shout out to the brave soul for surviving the battleground, or how our boss likes to call it, "team building exercise". I was Katniss Everdeen in this challenge as I voluntarily gave my name for running the publication the next week.

SPOILER ALERT: I survived.

Being the boss meant calling in big meetings. With big meetings came big responsibilities. Having to play both the good cop as well as the bad cop has its challenges, especially when more than half of the workforce is older than you. On the other hand, I had never experienced so much freedom in my work and validation from my bosses as I did this week. Ronny bhaiya saying yes to all my crazy ideas, Nahaly apu being there for me through every step, Rahbar bhaiya coming up with the most brilliant topics and Zarif bhaiya? Let's just say the Fourth Horseman was there in spirit.

Here's to more weeks of dressing up as the boss and learning the ropes.

P.S. When will "The Hunger Games 2" release?
