We should have a good khabari

I had no other clue except that the guy has a automotive shop just beside a police station in Pune.But,there are so many police stations divided by different zones.It was a herculean task for me.How I find him,I wonderedShamir(name changed ), shifted his base from a hilly town in North Eastern region of India to Pune after duping scores of people.He duped people and collected money by impersonating a 'commander'of a millitant outfit of North- East.First I download the details of Pune police stations from their website.After that I collected the names and addresses of automotive shops in and around Pune.I also collected the addresses and phone numbers of Khandelwals living in Pune.Then I randomly dialled automotive shops in and around Pune.My boss told me to find out that man,what he does and his connections.I got in touch with my contact in Pune.Suddenly an idea floated up in my mind -there must be an association of that particulatr community in Pune which he belongs.Meanwhile,I found that there is an automotive shop beside Pune Police headquarter.After a frantic search i found the secretary of a Samaj(Society) and collected his phone number and told him that I need some information about that man who belongs to his samaj.My Pune contact assured me over phone that though he is not able to locate that man yet,he is hopeful that he will find him soon.I called up a guy,who had some underground connections and explained my purpose.Later in the day,my contact informed me,he locate a person who has a automotive shop near a police station but he was not yet sure about the identity of the person.He told me that he needed few more days to identify the person.Two days back,the secretary of the Samaj informed me over phone that his men locate Samir has a thriving business in Pune.I thank God then spend the rest of the night by instructing my contact on yahoo messenger.Still,there was hope,I thought.I was excited.Few days later,my contact informed me that he took the photographs of the man and emailed me the photographs.I instantly recognise the man and instructed my contact to find out his address.Few days later,he informed me that the man lives with his wife and two children in Bhandarkar Road,North Pune and after that it was easier for me to got every details of the man.Then,I realize that we should have a good khabari(Informer).

Don't tell my husband you called me

I always enjoy my undercover reporting.Whenever I got chance,I went underground.I always fascinated by the stories that most of the beauty parlours in small towns are involved in sex trade.So, to get a first hand knowledge,it was necessary for me to get involved in related trade.Luckily,I got a job as a sales representative for a little known company deals with beauty products.I started visiting various retail outlets and beauty parlours in suburban towns.To my utter surprise, I found that most of the parlours in the outskirts of the city turned into brothels.In ladies parlours presence of male customers puzzled me.Then,I found that these beauty parlours mainly deal with these type of customers.In Howrah,I visited a small ladies beauty parlour.When I approach the ladies inside the parlour,they told me to wait . A small room separated by a curtain.I noticed the movement of shadows behind the curtain.I heard the ticking of the clock hanging in the room.I have been waiting for more than a hour.It was about 7:30 on a warm evening.My curiosity grew,I've discovered that ladies indulged in sex with clients.Then a middle aged man,completely drunk, entered the room and told me that customers who visited his parlour didn't need any beauty products.They only want entertainment.He was right.Beauty parlours in small towns are involved in sex trade because they don't get steady customers throughout the year and they found that it is lucrative enough to resist.Here I met a young chirpy girl. I want to know her family background."Don't tell my husband you called me,don't tell him you have my phone number",she begged.Hey,don't worry, from today you are my close buddy,I assured her.The face of the girl was wreathed in smile.Few weeks later,at about 3 A.M I woke up and headed for the bathroom.When I returned to bed,I got a call from that girl.....She desperately needed help from me.I rescued the girl with the help of a NGO from the clutches of her husband who was a pimp and forced her to enter into the flesh trade .But that's another story.
I get lots of story ideas by going underground and when possible,I use my insider knowledge to cover a story.
