Should I succumb to the temptation of picking up another language or start hunting for a 'proper' (read full-time employment with regular pay-checks) job?

What Next?
So the exam has been taken - and almost forgotten by now! Never been one to conduct a post-mortem of any exam, specially since it goes against my philosophy about exams...so haven't done that this time either. But now that Diplome Superieur is behind me and the results can only be expected by end September (at the earliest)...I am wondering what next...

hehehe.. yes, talking abt de ego massage, i heard abt ure looooong chat with KS. and, i got my 'exotic' bday goft... now, lets see if i can slip it on!
PS: am determined to finally buy tagore in bong version and read it only then!
may you should learn an exotic language like mandarin and then you could do translation from french to mandarin or vice versa. I bet there is money in that.
I was strand sale yesterday and it was brilliant as always.
Short Stories by Rabindranath Tagore. Remember buying this when I was in college. Have lugged it all the way to the US with me. Let me know how you like it, and any story in particular that caught your fancy
i'd travel, if i were you!
Agree with wandering dervish. It's time to put on your boots and travel for a bit.
:-)
if you can then do travel a bit, it is such an experience! :)
Hi! Been awhile since I visited I guess! It was great SMSing you but would have been even nicer meeting up face to face! Maybe next time! Or perhaps if you decide to do the travel bit, then make sure London is on the stopover list ;)
It has been quite a visit tho'..phew!
how was ur exam de diplome sup?????? wat abt teaching french in alliance francais de poona????? i think you shud be eligible. or teach french in some french mnc based in india.they need ppl to teach french to indians workin for them.
or may be you shud learn japanese.
akky there's enough money if she does translation frm french to english.
Rahul - I dint have that option na - to read the "original" so to say! Btw, you can read Bangla? Now thats nice...
Akshay - LOL MANDARIN? No thanks - Spanish and German is as far as my linguistic ambitions go! Am going to hit the Strand sale this weekend :-D
Parth - Shall definitely let you know! I've owned this particular compilation of short stories as well as another compilation of his works for quite some time, but not gotten ard to reading them yet...
Finnegan - You forgot the other ref to Tagore that I supplied ;-)
WD, August, Gulnaz - Got some travel plans - let's hope atleast one of them swings into place!
Pincushion - Oh yeah it would have been great meeting up, but unfortunately I didn't make it to Bbay even once during your stay there. Am going this weekend, but too late to meet you...ah well, next time...or else someday I'll find my way to London! :-)
Agree with Aparna why teach at AFP. Work an aid agency in French Africa - thats what I would have done if I had any knowledge of french.
You get to travel and use your french at the same time.
How about Medecins Sans Frontieres or Action Internationale Contre la Faim
Aparna - :-) Whoa loads of suggestions there...have some things in mind; am actually incredibly pig-headed abt what I want to do, so if it's not what I want, I won't do it :-P
Akshay - :-)But teaching at AFP isn't that bad an option na?
hey...i know i promised id write earlier...but after our lil celebration lunch, n my lil sat nite stint i kinda fell ill....n jus abt got to gettin online...
me can hardly believe tht exams r done wid...lets hav a sat afternoon repeat...plz plz plz...only home n college r killin me....now all i go to barista is for coffee n smokes...feels sooooooooo strange

;)
ah hello. mch time no see. will see ye very soon, and i think you will love what im reading.
Hey girl, take care of your health - we should defi do a Saturday repeat sometime soon...next week perhaps? And hey nicotine and caffeine intake should be cut-down when sick, not increased (said in tone of our dear friend and your namesake!)
Phal - Yeps see ya soon...
Better hunt for a good full-time job. You can continue your language courses while at job too.
Right??
Me reading : Who will cry...when you die - Robin Sharma
To kill a mocking bird - Lee Harper.
i simply fail to understand why ppl are against the idea of u teaching at allaince francais?????????
do what ever makes you happy.
but if u wana take mny advice, travel a bit.
teach alliance.
buy time, think some more.
