Moving On

My blog creates so much drama in my life sometimes; I really have to be more careful of what I write from now on. I guess a lot of stuff I just say here without a second thought has the potential to get me in awkward situations, even troublesome situations at that, but then, what’s the point of this being my personal space, eh? Maybe I should start another anonymous blog especially for those things which are better said incognito!

Anyhow, for all you lovely people who were interested in knowing what I was referring to in the 'Who Am I?' post, I am thinking of pursuing a Master’s degree in English next year. Why I want to do it is because mainly, I want to get a hot-shot job in the world of media. I would love to write full time for a magazine or newspaper and apparently I can’t do that with the degree I already have (Yes, I suck at career planning, don't I?). Secondly, I think it will be pretty cool to get back to college life for two years AND it will possibly give me time to develop my freelance writing/work on my dream novel. Also, I might move to another city – Hyderabad – because the university I’ve currently narrowed down on is located there.

It’s called the English and Foreign Languages University, formerly known as the Central Institute for English and Foreign Languages. It offers the kind of course I’m looking for without the astronomical fees of the likes of Symbiosis and Times School of Journalism and all the other elite places which I can’t afford in ten years time! So, if YOU happen to have any information at all about EFLU, please, please let me know through a comment or an email because I am on a desperate hunt for more information but haven’t been able to find much as yet. Good stuff, bad stuff, ugly stuff, if you could tell me anything at all about this institute/university or could find out from someone, I will be extremely grateful! Feedback on Hyderabad as a city is welcome too. (Though, please don't be cheeky/silly enough to suggest that I Google it because being the totally tech-savvy Google-fanatic that I am, I have already done it in fifty different ways possible, thank you very much. Okay, maybe not fifty, but you get the idea right?)

Gosh I’m excited by the prospect of living in a hostel though kind of nervous at the same time. Plus, I don’t quite know anyone in Hyderabad which again is exciting and nerve-wracking all at once. Of course, considering how much I whine and complain about my current city, living in a hi-fi metro sure seems appealing! Ah, life is taking such a different course from any I had ever imagined.

Gee, look at me gushing on and on. There was something else I wanted to say in this post which I have very conveniently forgotten now. God, what was it, what is wrong with my memory? Damn.

I really can’t think of it so I guess this is it for the time being. If you like, do let me know the answers to these questions:

Is it a good idea to do a master’s degree? As in, will it be ‘worth it’ as they say?

Do you think Hyderabad is a nice city?

Do you think I am awesome? Oh, of course you don't. I am more than awesome!

Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me. I will stop blabbering now. By the way, a warm welcome to my few new followers. Thank you for being here and liking my sempiternal (typed) scribbles. Apologies for the total lack of content in this post. With the prospect of Monday morning just a few hours away, my creativity is dead. Oh did I mention, the real reason I want to go back to college is because I am sick of professional life!

Okay, no, not really. Earning money is kind of cool. I just wish I didn't have to work so hard for it. :/

I wonder when will I finally pull a Chetan Bhagat and be able to quit my job for the pure joy of writing novels and, if recent reports are to be believed, get into film-making with the likes of Vishal Bharadwaj! Gosh, I am SO jealous, (surprise, surprise) but for the record, I hope to write better books than him, not that I'm being all prissy and stuck-up, but come on, isn't he WAY too repetitive and stereotypical in his stories? Okay, I shall stop now. I'm again getting into the kind of stuff which should go on an anonymous blog and not one that has so many links to my personal email and social network accounts.

Ciao, people. Wish me luck!
