It was a very busy day, marked by the first cabinet meeting after Bypolls, he spent two-and-ahalf hours at the Toi office.
As the news meeting ended and informal discussions spilled into the tea break – a general affair in most of the newsroom – he maintained the conversation flowing on Masala sin and coffee.
The working edition was finished, Bommai patiently accommodated questions from all who were present and posed for selfies too.
The kick has a touch of the classic editor: “I hope I can do more editing!”
