Its been considerably long since I rambled thats cause the university that accepted me is engulfing me with an extremely hectic and intensive course and since it is counted among the best in the media league we are kept on our toes by including us in lectures which i call the 'info pukes'.
The professors are daunting and extremely overwhelming cause they are in every sense and merit academic doctors. But they don't save they burden lives and so we call them professors but with this i don't intend to say that they aren't good. By god1 they are brilliant if thats the least I could say.
My fellow classmates are international students from all over the world...
you can never really know the meaning of 'International' until you are actually in midst of these people from places you have heard of but know nothing about, a realization which slaps you in your face if you are an aspiring journalist. Yes thats right i am one of the 'luckless tribe'(Russell).
Now these people are evrything that I am not. They have worked for several years in media of their native countries and needlessly smart. and understand loads much better then i do.
The discussions, when they happen are extremely well rounded if not always in depth.
They most certainly go beyond the realms of the immediate. Everything is international.
The politics is international, the views, the questions, presentations ... the whole package.
The brilliance of the whole deal is that not only that there are no exams but also there is no one who is trying to deal with you as a student. Relieving?
I am not sure we have couple of essays to give in before the deadline and lo behold not Indian time deadline but 1500hrs means 1445hrs.
Now i am sure to everyone who reads this would wonder how daft am I for me to be complaining about such a setting? and my answer to all those who condscend me is : Cheers!!!
It isn't the quantity which matters here but the quality here...
But I know my humble but firm education in India gives me adaptability to handle what the English throw at me.
Come to think of it, its the pace of this course which is of a blinding nature.
Its actually one of your dreams coming to life where you keep running to catch a train but it always remains a couple of inches ahead of you.
Desi signs out for now!
Namaste!!!
