This year, the activities at
various institutes during E-Week are being covered by Shubha Narayanan,
NEN's own reporter.text
Shubha is the newest NEN team
member. Two days after joining, she was unceremoniously thrown out of the office
into the cold world of pre-dawn air travel to begin her NEN E-Week Yatra.
Luckily, with over six years' experience in journalism and corporate
communications, Shubha is used to rough treatment. She has worked with Deccan
Herald, Vijay Times, and Sailor Today, a maritime magazine in Mumbai. Most
recently, Shubha worked for TEAM Computers, a Delhi-based IT company. text
