One of my bestest buddies got gainfully employed last week. Hell she’s now working at a very impressive place and will draw a good salary. Apart from her, I seem to have an increasing number of friends who have free-lanced or worked their way through studies, not to mention those who’ve taken up jobs after graduation and post-graduation. I seem to be this oddity who’s still utterly vella and dithering between her options. Ick.
Sometimes I don’t think I’m doing any crime by taking my time – I want to be sure of my decision and not blunder my way into a wrong profession. Plus I want to be able to do my best at whatever I take up eventually – with studies I got away with good grades even though I put in just half the effort required – definitely half my capability. But I definitely don’t want to do that when it comes to my career.
As of now Alliance Francaise is my priority and any free-lancing I do would come second. Plus there are other things I want to make sense of, before plunging head-first into the big bad world of work-politics, commitments, responsibilities and taxes!
Someone once told me that being confused doesn’t mean I’m a loser. And then I'm continuously told that I show all signs of succeeding at whatever I take up.
Time shall tell I guess?

Hi! Sad that I couldn't make it today. And a very funny thing happened. The woman I keep mentioning ,the one from Jaipur who exhibits here sometimes and from whom I got my lavender skirt, well she called up today and said that she was having her exhibition at Lokhandwala.
Unfortunately, you couldn't check it out.
Yeah, I still haven't started reading those works I got from the Asiatic. I read Jhumpa Lahiri though. Very refreshing and unpretentious. There isn't a deliberate attempt at the 'indianness', comes naturally... :)
We didn't have P & P as a text in FY. We studied The Mayor of Casterbridge and I really want to see all these BBC movies. I hope we get a DVD player soon! :D
