College and my life


Well, as high school grads you are expected to know what your career interests are. Whether you want to get into college or move out etc. I was totally confused. I did not know if I wanted to pursue science or take to business. But I was sure of one thing. I wanted to live on my own. Not that I wanted to move out with my friends. But that I wanted to fund my own education from then. I spoke to my parents and some of my mentors from school. They all agreed with me that I was more of a business minded person and asked me to consider taking up something related to commerce. Ok now there was a lot more pressure for me since I wanted to fund my own education. It meant earning something equal to my dad’s salary.

I was thinking of some great business prospects and I ended up combining my favourite pass time with my business. I learnt a classical art form called ‘Bharathanatyam’ that requires immense concentration and stamina. I decided to teach that great form of art to others. Believe me it was a brilliant idea. End of it I had almost 50 students learning from me. It meant more money and great utilization of time. And now I have joined my college. I still continue to teach in the basement of my apartment and it is called ‘Avigna’ dance school. Contact me if you want more information on that!
