anyway, news from my side - i have managed (pata nahi kaise!) to get a job! it's with an organisation named Dhriiti - The Courage Within (www.dhriiti.org). we work towards promoting entrepreneurship among youth. to tell you the truth, before i joined Dhriiti, i hadn't really thought about entrepreneurship. the only entrepreneur i knew was Sujit Mahapatra of Bakul Foundation (www.bakulfoundation.org) where i volunteered for 2 years (more on that later) but it was still just another word for me. then suddenly one day my MA was done and since further studies didn't appeal to me at all, i had to get a job. i applied in all sorts of places, went to mumbai to meet a couple of people, but nothing really appealed to me.
i had sent my CV to Dhriiti and had been asked to fill out an application form (which at first glance looked easy enough till i came to the last question!). then i had a telephonic interview with Nidhi Arora and Anirban Gupta, the founders of Dhriiti, which seemed to last forever but was only 20 minutes long. 2 days later, while shopping with my mom, i got a msg from Nidhi asking me to check my mail. i got home, saw my mail which had an offer letter from Dhriiti and did a little jig around the library before going downstairs to give ma the good news :)
i joined on the 1st of june, it's been a month already, and i love my work!! abhi filhaal i have to run off home so will blog later. ciao!
