Like every individual, I
am on a never ending search of happiness and settlement. There is so much in my
life I want to do but don’t have time to execute. Well, what I want to do in my
life is changing constantly. First, when I was a little kid, I wanted to dance
and act. I grew up and my liking shifted from a dancer to a teacher. I started
studying using a blackboard, chalks and duster, thereby enjoying the feeling of
a teacher and teaching students. I used to wear mom’s dupattas and her high
heel sandals. Lolzz.. And then that sort of developed into a journalist and now
that's changing even now. I am a project manager right now, working with
Creative Lipi.
Odd combination, but I
like it. :)
I did my pre-schooling
from Springdale’s School. Then my parents admitted me to DAV Public School,
Sector-14 Faridabad. Enjoyed School life! Mathematics attracted me during my
school days and so I decided to make a career in teaching maths, however, the
dream shattered by just two marks …. I failed to get admission in Math’s honors
in Delhi University. The determination to stay connected with teaching lead me
to give tuitions. Waise to I am giving tuitions since when I was in class 8 ;)
Yea! That’s true. Well after not getting admission in math’s owners, I decided
to go for mass media and joined 2 year diploma course in Journalism and Mass
Communication. Besides this, I completed graduation in B.com from Delhi
University. After a long theoretical college life, it was the time for an ultimate
practical showdown. Got internship in Total TV News channel and it also marked
the beginning of my new life as a JOURNALIST. I enjoyed going out, attending
press conferences, writing scripts… In short, I was enjoying my new career as a
Reporter. 6 months later, I got an opportunity to work in "Nav Bharat
Times" newspaper as a freelance Journalist. It was a challenging task. Initially,
I faced many problems like hindi typing, scripting for a Hindi newspaper and so
on but with the god’s grace and some good friends I got a good grip on my work.
After Nav Bharat Times, I worked for a local newspaper named "Voice of
Faridabad" and then shifted my focus from Print to Electronic Journalism
and joined "TV 100 news channel" as an Assistant Producer. It was a
totally new experience for me coming straight from Print to Electronic but I
got myself adapted to the change and started enjoying my new responsibilities.
I made many new friends and enjoyed working with them. I learnt a lot new
things there. I use to love seeing anchors dressing up, reading news,
especially there make-over’s. Soon I generated some interest in voice over’s
and started doing voice over for my news channel. I got some good complements
for my voice so I planned to go for RJ and joined Jamia Millia Islamia and did
Radio Journalism.. I know it is a bit funny but yes I did that..:) . After few
months of experience with TV 100 I joined Channel One National News Channel as
a producer of an entertainment programme named Andaz-e-Bollywood. Those were
the best days of my life. Perhaps, it was a lifetime experience for me and I
still miss those days…. Bollywood used to rule my 9 hour shift… finding out new
bollywood news stories, collecting visuals, getting them edit and finally
broadcasted… Phew… That was something challenging ;) Jokes apart, I met with
people I always dreamt of – Shahrukh Khan, Sonu Nigam and many more. Loved it!
But But But is dimakh ka kya kare tikta hi nahi hai ek jagah, I left that job
bcoz I wanted to study more in Journalism and I took admission in MA Mass
Communication. Sometimes I think I can be a good TV Anchor and may be in future
you can see me on TV. :)
Basically, my career
path is drawn, but not definite. All the things I want to do are somehow
related in a weird way. Anyways, since Feb, 2010, I am working with Creative
Lipi, was appointed as a writer but soon was shifted to another team and from a
writer I became an SEO Executive. I got second time lucky and was shifted
back to my original team but this time as A MANAGER ;) not writer. OMG! AGAIN I
am lovin my work!!!!
Well to earn some more
calories, I am doing a business of homemade chocolates. I make them at home,
decorate them and sell them to chocolate lovers. :)
Though I have strong
ties with very few friends, but my family comes first for me. My family,
especially my mom and bro are my soul and I can't live without them. I lost my
dad when I was 13. Of course I miss him so badly. He is always there in my
mind and will be a super star in my life. For better or for worse, consistently
they shape me for who I am today, and even if I disappoint them or make them go
crazy, they will still love me and I just feel the same for them. I love my mom
the most.
I love to dance in front
of a mirror and I never get tired of it. I jussssssstttt love it. I love to
watch movies. Romantic, Comedy, Suspense, or any good one. Even I can watch
some movies again and again though I do, like Rang De Basanti, HAHK, DDLJ, HSSH
and many more. Next I am very much fond of driving. I am afraid of it but I
just love it. I love shopping as well.. For me, kapde jitne ho utne kam. And
yes I love travelling as well. I can pack my bags very fast just to go out for
fun and enjoyment. I love to take my pictures and watching them as it makes me
feel happy. OMG! Yes there are actually so many things I love.
And finally, I am a
crazy, never ending ;), outgoing and social being.
The End =)
