If I were to join NYU

Assume that you have a chance to study at the NYU. The course just happens to be your favourite hobby; it is your chance to turn what you love doing, into a profession. In no more than 300 words, write an essay, listing the reasons why you should be chosen for that class and course, at NYU.





NYU — The place where dreams come true.

I’ve always been a dreamer, since my childhood days. I have dreamt of being extraordinary, of doing great things, and there’s no place better than NYU to help me carve the niche for myself. In the city where all dreams come true — I have a dream too. I like to call myself a writer, a poet, a lyricist, a traveller, a friend in need, an orator, a believer, an achiever and most importantly a humanitarian.


When I first heard about the course offered by NYU in Travel Journalism, my joy knew no bounds and it was then that I realised, this was where I wanted to be.


Though I live my life in the moment, I have a few aspirations. I want the world to know who I am and where I come from. I want to travel the world and discover new things. I want to meet people; I want to know about their culture. Above all I want to bring a change in at least one life, a smile on one face. I want my experiences to show me what life has to offer — May it be hardships, adventures and happiness, I am ready as I want to live my life to the fullest.


I am a very adventurous person in general but I have a few inhibitions and I want to overcome them and become a better person, a happier person. I am sure and I believe in the fact that if I get into NYU, I will become better. I know the course will teach me things I’ve never known before and give me ample opportunities to explore the world.


Through my travels, I not only want to take back memories of that place but showcase the joy that keeps people together. I want to touch, feel and experience the soil and feel the rain on my skin. With what I write, who I talk to, where I go, I want to show that being a girl is not a bad thing. You can love and live you’re just as much as any other person. I could teach self defence and impart the little knowledge I have to children, the future of the world.


Last but not the least, I love writing. I write about true life experiences the best. I am not here to make a living. I will be here to make my life worth living.

Baby We're Addicted!

In the past few days, there have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos highlighting our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or news in general, technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. The ongoing debate questions whether we can survive without this technology and still consider ourselves developed or developing. EFLUites, the students and lecturers of EFL University, share their perspectives on the matter. Spandana, an EFLU student, observes people walking into her on campus, engrossed in their phones, and even her classmates browse their mobiles during class. She believes that we are becoming slaves to technology, which will have consequences in the near future. However, she acknowledges that technology is a boon for handling assignments and research, but emphasizes the importance of setting  limits. EFLU lecturers also share similar concerns, as technology has led to an...

Bylined articles published in The Hindu Metroplus

 Food for fun! ‘Under the tree!’ comes the quick response when you ask the students of   Wesley College, where they like to hang out most. They gather in its shade and  munch on the tastiest samosa from the very famous samosa lady. For Rs 6/-  these samosas sell like hotcakes. Almost 300-400 samosas are being sold every day  for the past 15 to 20 years.  The samosa lady and her daughter come in the  morning and stay till they are sold out of all the tasty treats which happens very fast.  Garnished with mirchi and onions ‘for free,’ these stuffed  Indian   delights taste their very best. Apart from  the samosa and the ‘wisdom tree’ what’s famous in Wesley College is the  Anand Theatre bus stop right outside which is the hangout for all the degree  students .   Adjacent to it are Gyaneshwar Anna’s cigarette stall and  Laxmi Chat Bhandar. ‘Most of the guys come for a smoke. They  hang around and chitchat. ...

Emo Poems from Childhood

I need you I need love in my heart My heart is lonely and alone My love is pure, so true My heart is vacant just for you I've been waiting for so long I kept singing this solitude song My heart keeps weeping then and now That I can never reach To your heart and your beautiful soul and then Your smile, your love, and your faith Can nothing be done to get things back I can't stay regretting all my life I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love You always have all my true love But you never realized... What do I do to make you believe? My tears will tell you all that you need I'm in scarcity of tears to weep Without you, my heart is pounded deep I'm really tired of staying awake with you In my mind hurting every time There can be no other solution We've got to understand each other better and I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love Can you forgive me for the whole thing in the past And start ov...
