" Vishnu, you have to make a tough choice. Tell me your decision in a week's time but we'll love to have you here ... "
Well, this made my day. I mean, the day itself was great in its own way, but this was the icing on the cake.
I had to wait for sometime before they called me in for the interview. So, I spent my time scrutinizing the others who had come for the interview. To my utter disbelief i found that all of them went in for the interview with their parents. What a shame. Come on, after all we are adults. What's the big deal about going for the interview without being mama's boy ? (Pssst... It was my mom who told me all this and forced me to go in without her...) Anyway, I was quite confident and walked in to the room with an "excuse-me"... That completely through them off-guard. Good... SVV 1. Management 0. That didn't last long however. Even before i could take my seat they asked me whether I had come alone. I had to say NO. So, all the trouble came to nothing. I had to fetch mom from outside the room. SVV 1. Management 1. After that, it was a one-man show. Wow... was I fired up. I did tell them that I was doing engineering. I also told them that I wanted to join vis-com because I had to follow my heart at some point of my life. They seemed impressed. I also told them that i wanted to be a film director and that I've already written scripts for some short films of mine. They hence asked me loads of other questions related to films as they could see my interest in that field. So, at the end of it all they said
" Vishnu, you have to make a tough choice. Tell me your decision in a week's time but we'll love to have you here ... "
So, my full-time score must have been SVV 15. Management 1. But, I lost count after a while.
I had already made up my mind long before that. Let me get a basic degree and then plunge into my world. I promised myself that. It's the least I can do to my loving family...

Well, you see I never have any expectation from this blog. All I wanted was to have a good time writing and that's what I've been doing. I'm happy as long as I get to see my writing in print. But the pleasure that you derive from customizing your blog, trying out various permutations and combinations...wow... pure heaven. Kudos to Blogger ! Keep up the good work.
This blog is just my version of an online diary, so I wouldn't care so much if nobody visits my blog at all. After all, diaries are absolutely personal, right ?
Anyway, I had loads of fun writing the entrance exam at DG. There were loads of questions testing your G.K. But, the most interesting part was when we had to write a script for a 30 sec ad film on any relevant social issue. I did a great job at that. I took up the issue of the harassment of eunuchs in the country. I have to thank my mom again for that. Coz, she, being a writer, gave me valuable ' indirect ' inputs through her new book on them. The good thing about that book is I'm designing the cover. Wow... That's cool, isn't it ? Anyway I got selected and hence they've called me for an interview tomorrow. Looking forward to it, man. Catch you later. Take care.
Fate rules !!!

Well, to say that my family has become one happy lot would be a bit of an understatement. I actually had the courage to speak out to my mom and dad about the "peer" pressure they exerted on me and told them flat out that I would love to live life my way. I stressed that I would love to do a film-making course after I finish with engineering. They seemed shocked that they had such a big role to play in me becoming moody the past few days. But then they seemed to understand. That's the good thing about parents. They are willing to learn. To tolerate. I will always forgive them. After all, they have no prior experience in raising a child. Anyways, I had a pleasant surprise waiting for me in the evening. An application form for Visual Communication from DG vaishnav. Wow !!! You see, I do love God for the way he created parents. We could have so many strains, fights, tantrums but at the end of the day, they still remain firmly by your side, constantly coaxing us to reach out for our dreams. Well, so you see, All's well that end's well. This cliched statement could well make the top of the Laws of God list. That's it from me for today, catch you later. Bye !!!
