Today this sudden thought struck into my stupid brain. Why am I into this visual communication? Why am I into this creative media? What I really want in my life? And loads of craps like that.!!
Hmmm let me go through the choices I had for college! What if I was an Engineering student? I got a 160 something cut off which would surely get me settled in a local engineering college. Many of my class mates scoring less than mine are learning (!) engineering in some college (I have no clue about the name of the institution (!)). Screw it. Let’s consider if I was in an Engineering College !! I completely suck in Physics and Chemistry but, I have a love towards Math (definitely not the higher level mathematics). Though I seriously don’t have guts to flunk over my semesters, I’d have never passed my internals.! So Engineering was a bad idea for me! Then came the choice of me choosing an M.Sc. in software..!! GOD.! That was really a bad idea.! 5 yrs in the same college with same science that I dreaded all over my school life is definitely not a better option.! Engineering would have been better than me choosing this one.! B.Sc Maths? That was really a boring thing to do I guessed. A set of boring students, Boring teachers… Man that’s gonna be really tough said my mind voice.! Then came the choice of so many B.sc which all the parents will feel comfortable to join their kids(!) in.! But it was a BIG NO from me for all the choices!
What only I want then? I thought that most of the choices that I was given above was totally not mine.! Then came the crave of becoming a fashion designer.! WOW I thought. A bunch of creative students as my class mates, a set of freaking cool teacher, creativity all the time and nothing to sit and mug up about.! And this thought made me think that fashion designing was my thing.! I tried hard to get into India ’s no 1 institute NIFT! And I half made my dream.! Cleared out the tests.! All India ranking of about 412 I guess that waitlisted me for the group discussion session.! Then came this huge thing. The counseling (not the engineering college thing) at Delhi that was not at all possible for me to go as my grandma was sick.! God.!!! End to my dream. I have a attitude.! If I don’t get it where I want I never ever wanna get it in my life.! I know it’s a stupid attitude.! But I am helpless about it.! And thus fashion designing was out of my hands that I still regret about.!
Then I thought ‘ok creativity and enjoyment is what I wanted’. So visual communication was my other choice.! Weird set of creative freaks all around the college taking photographs creating something painting the rooms and what not I thought.! The thought of viscom gave refreshment.! Advertising, public relations or event management being my majors I thought I’d surely enjoy these three years like a total freak.! And the sight of the dull biscuit colour walls surely made me sleepy on the first day.! Though few of my friends were really freaks or just people who are born to party (guys) and gossip (girls), the syllabus was not like what I thought.! May be I expected more… May be fashion designing was also the same… I really had no idea.! Still I loved the subjects though they were not as practical as I thought.! But now I am here into being a PRO or an event manager or a journalist (!). This will be me for the up coming years.! Yes I m loving it.! No regrets about it.! And that is why I chose viscom.!
