THREAD: PERSONAL UPDATE: After 4.5 wonderful years, yesterday was my last day at @TheQuint . Cannot thank @kapur_ritu @Raghav_Bahl @Rohit_K69 enough for having faith on a 23-yo reporter who'd never reported out of Bengal and giving me the responsibility to start the bureau here.

Request: Please don't send me articles where Delhi journos are opining on Bengal elections. Most of it BS and shoots up my blood pressure.

Why are random accounts promising to quit Twitter if their election predictions are wrong? Like, who cares if you quit?
