Newsroom gets a new ringmaster in Arun Sarin

You guys have beaten me to the punch here,��� chuckled Arun Sarin, ET���s guest editor for the day, as he discussed the front-page story lineup at the evening news meeting. That was a rare admission from a man who is known as much for his ability to take all manner of attacks on the chin���thanks to his five years at the Vodafone corner room���as his prowess in the boxing ring.

Not that it made him pull his punches though. After all, he had to do justice to the Superman suit and cape with which his cartoon avatar welcomed him to the editor���s corner room in ET.

And notwithstanding the exaggerated proportions������It makes me look a lot heavier and 20 years older,��� Mr Sarin joked���ET���s liveliest guest editor survived his newsroom debut with his funny bone intact, deadpanning the pink team���s grilling with Kryptonite-worthy one-liners. When introduced to ET���s ace telecom reporter, he grinned and said, ���I know nothing about that subject.���
