Hello World !

Most of us will remember the 15th of August as India's Independence day. If not due to patriotism it will at least bring up fond memories of school days, the flag hoisting and parades filled with lots of smiles and even more sweat. But to me this day spells another chapter in my life. Today the 14th of August, shall be the last day for me in India. I am flying to Singapore for my Masters in Digital Media Tech course. I am a bag of mixed emotions now. While the optimistic part of me is looking forward to all the exciting times ahead, the reality that life will not always be in the same own home turf always continues to strike. I shall for sure miss my very dear family, my sweet home ,my very famous scooty and the sounds and smells of Trichy. This might very well even be my last post from this PC.

I have always loved challenges and this is a time to prove to my selves that I am worth it.The moment I decided to do my masters, this one course came to my mind as an obvious choice. I am a sort of person who finds excitement in every little thing I do.Every bright flower that I come across, every cute child that smiles at me evokes a great deal of amusement in me. No wonder that this field of digital media technology has amused me and inspired me to that extent that I had decided to forfeit and well paid job offer in a developer role. The next two years , omg , thinking od it brings goosebumps. I have got a lot to learn - game development, animation, graphics, human computer interactions, photography, information management etc etc . I have taken up a boat of my choice. The destiny though is unknown. I must have the right attitude to hop on to any good opportunity that comes up along the way. Now decided that this shall be my field, its my necessity to put every ounce of effort in to this. I am starting up a new life and this blog I feel is an indicator of the pages that I am yet to explore in my book. Shall continue to post.

 Join me :)

Thru a journey called “Graduation”!

Every piece of stone that enters MCE leaves after four years as a well polished diamond. Same is the case with me. Back in 2006 I entered these gates as a wonder struck child. Everything seemed so huge. There were many challenges to be faced and battles to be fought. What I needed was a college that would embrace a crying child as the affectionate laps of a caring mother would do. My parents have always taken the right decisions for me and the best of the things that have done for me is to have allowed me to be a part of this family.

Now I have an engineering degree, a good job, a very bright future at NTU, Singapore and loads of achievements behind my name. I am what I am now only because of this college, my parents continuous support,   my friends constant encouragement, my philosophers and well wishers advice.

These classes would have seen numerous Preethi’s till date. But to me, wherever I may go, my college would kindle many fond memories and thoughts. I feel like every soul, every blossoming flower and everything at my college as a part of me. It would really be difficult to bid farewell to the place which has nurtured my talents, developed my personality, and enabled me to take independent decisions and to top it all given me the confidence that I can face any challenge in the future.

This place has given me the best teachers, most caring friends, people from whom I could draw inspiration and those whom I can deem as my mentors and guides. When a typical student longs for holidays to come, I found real happiness and sense of satisfaction only in the MCE campus. Only here every one was caring and directing me for betterment. There was importance for discipline but it was not imposed by means of rules. Each one of us were made to understand the virtues of life.

Its been 4 years now and its pretty interesting that am getting graduated..

Overall a journey worth remembering :)
