It's been a complete circle for me... 'it' meaning getting into this course called MA Convergent Journalism at AJKMCRC. From taking the written exams for all Mass Communication, Convergent Journalism and Development Communication to facing the interviews for each and then waiting for my waitlisted to get confirmed (Mass Comm: 6th waiting; Convergent Journalism: 3rd waiting, Development Communication: confirmed), this involved a hell lot of stress. Now that I look back and think of it all, i feel it's been worth it...! But there was a twist in the tale. I was admitted in Masters in Fashion Management at NIFT, Bangalore and had attended a week's classes after having reached Bangalore with all my luggage and after I had lost hope in getting into Convergent Journalism/ Mass Communication. I paid some 89,ooo, excluding my frequent visits to Delhi soon after, a part of which will and should get refunded. I still miss the chilled out life there including the campus et cetera. However, the course is what is more important to me. So here I am.. at MCRC. I missed the first two days of Orientation programme and so I feel I have not been able to interact very much with my classmates and all prospective friends. Sometimes I can't help but wonder how much fun we had there in just a week's time... may be I was too tired with going about making friends all over again. I like the course because of the sheer reason that it seems interesting. I am looking forward to the practical work involving camera-handling soon. The week that passed was good and informative. And I hope Convergent Journalism course gives us an insight we never bothered to acquire..
