BARKHA DUTT

Accepting defeat is not in her nature. Welcoming every new challange is fun for her. Going & going ahead steadily is her way of life. These things among many others make her a big name in spite of her small age. I am talking about Barkha who is only 36 this day ; twinkling sharp in the sky of journalism.

* Her coverage on Kargil War was declared the best coverage.
* She did her M.A. from St. Stephens College Delhi in English Literature.
* She did her M.A. in Mass Communication from Jamia Milia Islamia.
* She achieved her third master degree in Mass Communication from Columbia University New York.
* She was honoured in Athens for quality journalism.
* She was honoured by Indian Television Academy.
* She was honoured by Common Wealth.
* She was highly appreciated for her program " WE THE PEOPLE".
* She also earned fame for her excellent writtings in "OUTLOOK".

I wish her a long life with good health, prosperity & fame.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MY DARLING BARKHA !!
