Hey guys! Hope you are good. I have lotsa stuff to update you about :) I interned at Deccan chronicle!! I wrote for their features tab and did fashion articles and other "youngish" stuff. It was really exciting.Initially, that is. The first day of my internship, I walked past some cars that had 'PRESS' written on it and man, was i excited!! I felt like i was part of a secret mafia!! It felt awesome to be a journalist after 4 years of being a lifeless dump of flesh! When my first article was in print,I felt a huge rush when i saw my name in the paper and stuff. I thought I'd feel it every single time but the excitement slowly starts to fade off after a while o_0. By the end of the internship, I was sure that this wasn't what i wanted to do the rest of my life! I DON'T want to spend my life chronicling other's lives!! I don't CARE what they do!! I don't care what a famous fashion expert thinks about a certain style!What if I don't have a pencil thin waist? I am STILL gonna wear high waist pants if i want to!! So basically I felt like I was writing about pointless stuff. And writing about others all the time made it slightly monotonous and i was flat bored after 20 days and was waiting to be done with it!! I met some amazing people though and I m really glad i got to meet them :) Anyway.. I heard about this balcony and urban gardening company at Deccan chronicle during a discussion on famous gardening companies in Bangalore. I googled it and found it pretty interesting! A lot of things came together and i ended up applying for the post of a designer at this company. I was called for an interview that went on for about an hour and i made it! lol. Started work on the 14th of Feb (and loved it! ). It's been a month since i started work and I am NOT bored!! o_o I really, really LOVE my job!! Its awesome :) And i have the BEST colleagues!! Will give you more details in my next post :) I gotta hit the sack now. Got work tomorrow ( I love going to work on Saturdays too :P) Right now, mom's watching 'super singer junior' or somethin of that sort. I find it really disgusting that lil kids are made to perform like trained monkeys on the stage and croon songs that are wayyy too mature for them. They even sings duets and stuff.ugh. They are children!! Let them be!! Let them play in the park and eat mud if they want to!! Anyway, time for me to go! Tata! <3
As long as we persue something as a hobby, it feels great and enriching. But when one starts doing the same stuff as part of his job, that's were the things turn to be monotonous. May it be writing or art or whatever for that matter. It could happen with the best of the jobs that people claim interesting.
