Life is a journey of ups and downs where nothing is constant
but change. It brings with it a
multitude of moments to experience and treasure. Some make beautiful memories which we treasure and cherish. Then there are some we dread ever to dwell upon
and wish them to be washed away from our memory banks forever.
The start of anything new in life, whether a new job,
relocation to a new city, a new friendship, a career choice is always filled
with days, sometimes even long months filled with anxious moments. Will things turn out as planned? Is this
choice the right one? Will I regret this? Should I take the risk? The countless
questions posed not only by our own minds, but by everyone around us- family,
friends and well wishers. Questions with no sure shot answers; for no one can
look into the future and predict what can happen

These are situations which every person faces in their lives
at some point or another in life. As a
person, I have an immensely creative bent of mind. Adding a dash of my
ingenuity to everything I do is a passion, bordering on an obsession with
me. Technology is something that
interests me greatly and so the logical option for me after my 10+2 was to
graduate in engineering in information technology.
While I loved my
stint in technology, I somehow longed for a profession which would allow me to
explore my creativity and indulge in my love for technology. I was confused at
first, but after a lot of research I came across the post graduation program at
Indian Institute of mass communication (IIMC) in Advertising and Public
Relations. Some people wondered at the risk I was taking to shift my
profession. I didn't see it that way. For me it was the perfect blend of
everything creative linked to my love for technology. Social Media, Digital platforms etc. all play
a very crucial role in our lives in this 24*7 inter connected world and I
longed to learn everything there was about this field.
The first hurdle was clearing the pan India entrance exam.
Students from all over the country competed for a seat at the nation’s best
institute for courses in Advertising and Public Relations. Would I make the
cut? As I read through the questions
asked in the exam my face wore a big smile. I loved answering each and every
single one of them. Just the type and quality of questions asked in the
entrance exam and the amount of fun I had giving the paper was a testimony of
things to come. I cleared the exam and subsequent interview with flying
colors. Once course started, the
coursework and faculty interactions were a wonderful learning experience.
Looking back, deciding to pursue a masters course in
Advertising and Public relations was one of the most crucial and important
decisions in my life that lead to a wonderful and creative start of my new
life.
