Some of my well-wishers say - Its hightime man for you to have worked for last 8 years after your graduation. You should take a break and do some course; it could be development economics, development studies or agriculture. ( Smart enough for not proposing me to do studies in chemical engineering – which I would rather enjoy more after a span of 6 years) With two strong experiences of working in chemical industry after completing my graduation in engineering and not finding much correlation between my studies and my work (Rather I would put it differently that as much as I am able to put the relevance of my study and my work together) and largely in Pradan, where there is hardly any correlation between what I studied as a subject and what I am doing – who would still think that it is relevant to study further! I was wondering how would be it be, if there would be no higher education after graduation. All further studies would have to be carried out on-job as per one’s inclination! So a strict no for ‘higher’ studies. Education has ruined me enough to survive, henceforth let education be another enterprise.
If I could take up options of studying further what courses would I choose: Travelling, Films and Dancing. How about degrees like M. Trav., M. Fil (eqivalant to M. Phil.) or Ph. D. (Dancing)! And all these courses being offered in different institutes.
I want to go for a trekking by associating with Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM). While I surfed the site, I found Basic Course on Mountaineering and Adventure Course interesting and suitable for my initial curiosity and excitement.
I want to do a Film Appreciation Course at Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune which is scheduled every year in May month. Getting admission there is very tough, but what’s wrong in dreaming so..
While doing my graduation we were a couple of guys and gals participated in Gyrations out of blue, absolutely not knowing that we would enjoy so much leave apart the prize we won. I was wondering then, looking at the life of other adults around except film stars – how bad it would be after leaving college, we would never be able to dance except the marriage ceremonies. Why to live in memories? - I am keeping my fingers crossed if Patya, Ashu, me, Samya, Banya, Ratta, Chassy, Mangya could come together and give a public performance once again. Dear Readers, I promise, we aren’t that bad! Patya, are you reading this!?
When I joined company soon after my graduation, on first day I met one of our college seniors in his mid thirties saying those four years of graduation including the hostel life were best – I lived only for those four years! I was so taken aback – would my life be like this when I will be of his age.. I don’t think anyone deserves life to be like that. Kya pata Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara!
I will keep on posting my progress as I complete my Masters and PhDs in times ahead. Till then you are free to pull my leg and inspire me to seriously pursue my higher studies..
