I Have always been a person who loves way too many things in life.To me life is all about options, you have to choose the right one's.But who said you just have to choose only 1 option to be right?
Since the time I was a kid, what i wanted to do in life would change as the seasons changed.Every summer i would decide that i love teaching (A conclusion reached purely out of the fun i would get by playing "teacher-teacher", a game i would play all afternoon and still couldn't get enough of !!). There were days i would convince my mum n dad that this, in fact, was what i wanted to do when i grew up and my dad would smile at me and say,"you have a good many years ahead before you have to settle on that !!"... But at that time i hated having to wait for so many years !! To me ,that was the only thing i was meant to do!! and couldn't wait to do it !! Along the years,i had the "doctor" phase,the occasional "actor" phase (though i don't think there is ANYBODY in this whole wide world who would suck more than me in acting !!) and several other passing phases.
It was not until the latter years of my school that i fell in love with writing ! I mean, i was always good at it..I loved writing...whether it was the essays for my English class, or even speeches for my Elocution competition..but that was the time when in spite of being as clueless about what to do with my life at that point of time,i knew that writing would be something i would want to pursue in some form another.
Having said that i never wanted to be an author...I wasn't good at writing stories, i still don't think that's my cup of tea ...but i had a vague idea at the back of my head that i would love doing something where i can write.A few years later as i went to high school , the confusion grew...I didn't want to be any of those things i was so sure that i wanted to be when i was a kid..By this time i knew writing was one of the many hobbies i would love pursuing.Another hobby of mine is reading..and by reading i don't mean novels or stories but magazines or blogs about lifestyle and different people...Reading about people ...famous/not famous,rich/not-rich,young/old influenced me.And till date i love reading about people their houses,their food, their style, their tastes in music ....It intrigues me in a way i can't explain...I love watching a good life-style show, a show which shows diverse cuisines, diverse way of lives is placed at the highest of my favorite programmes list!!
I love reading about people in the glamour industry-Designers,models checking out latest collections.....it's more than a pass time to me!Someone once told me, if i get into a discussion about all this I'm unbeatable at it !! People close to me would definitely vouch for that!! But that again, is not something i could use to build up a career!! But something i wish i could use. Writing and this are the two things i knew i love dearly. When i reached the time where i had to make a choice about selecting my degree for pursuing graduation, I chose Mass Media. There was a gut feeling which told me all the things i was passionate about would blend in beautifully and present me with an opportunity which would be more than perfect for me.I followed my gut....As i stepped into this world crazy chaotic project deadlines ,running around fanatically before presentations...the chaotic life and the fast-pace made me happy in a weird way. I loved working for something that I loved doing from within, the pleasure comes through in whatever you do if you believe in it. And almost a year into this field my opinion remains the same.I still love doing what I do, despite of all the late nights and the nights when i barely get time to sleep,the early mornings and everything this course is throwing at me as time is passing.
But 1 year down the line despite being immensely happy and contented the way I am,I'm still as confused about what exactly i would pursue ahead once I have my degree. And as I'm coming close to the day when i'l be declared a graduate,how i wish my dad would tell me again that i have a good many years ahead of me to settle on what i want to do!!
Making decisions is always been a difficult process for me. I go into hours of contemplation coming up with a remotely close solution! And this time it's going to be even harder because i have picked up way too many things that i love doing and could see myself pursuing always.Along with writing and discovering new life-styles I have also discovered a new-found love in photography!! And who knows another 2 years down the line how many more things which i love mix themselves together and make it even difficult to settle on a particular career!!
This is why this blog is dedicated to all those little things i love doing!! Everything which i do or see,which i like will go into this blog.Basically,It's my journal of all the randomly put together thoughts and things which have no other outlet than this blog!!!
So, Mélange is my mix of all my favorite things put together...Hope you enjoy it reading it as much as I do writing It ...
