In his half-century as a journalist Chaitanya Kalbag has straddled the epochal pivot to a new and troubled millennium. He has been witness to mind-bending changes in the speed, forms volume and quality of news and information that we humans receive. He has travelled from slow typewriters and hot-metal presses, through teleprinters, computers and smartphones to the instantaneous publication of text, pictures and video online and on social media.
In this journey, he has been a deeply curious and engaging chronicler of people, events, economic transformation and history. This website gathers most of his writing from the mid-1970s. He hopes you will find his reports interesting, and also burrow with him into the back-stories that shaped his reportage. He invites you to be a participant and user.
