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.

It's a Love Story and I Said Yes!

Illustrator: Akanksha Thapa They say love happens to you when you least expect it and it couldn’t be truer than in my case. Little did I know on that fateful day of January 30th 2012, that my life was about to change forever. That’s the day I met my soul mate and this is my story. Love happened to me in the second year of my college. Let me recap: I was bored to death with the robotic routine of go to college, come back home, eat and sleep so I was desperately looking for something more to do. That’s when I saw an ad outside a small book store in my neighborhood. It read: “Librarian Wanted.” Mind you, for a hyper 19-year-old me, it sounded like music! I laughed to myself, “So they’re gonna pay me to just sit there and read books? That’s awesome!” And so it began, my sojourn of working as a part-time librarian in that private local library. All I had to do was make a note of who was borrowing which book and I was set! I was feeling great about my new job and I was over the...

Tech-No-Logic

Dependency on Technology There have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos in the past few days on our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or even general news, we are breathing and thriving on technology. The raging debate of the hour is, can we survive otherwise? If not for all this technology, can we call ourselves developed or developing? Probably not. There was a time when man discovered fire, and there was a time it burnt his entire habitat. It is now that time of the hour when the match is ignited with absolute precision, and it will have the elastic or boomerang effect on all of us. We are increasingly seeing school-going kids handling smartphones and iPhones like experts on a space mission. In the name of se...

The Day I Confronted My Anxiety

The mere mention of the word "anxiety" sends shivers down my spine. I often find myself frozen with overwhelming thoughts, struggling to calm down as people around me offer well-intentioned advice. It's just who I am, I thought - my eccentric self. The feeling of being overwhelmed engulfs me, leaving me restless and constantly fidgeting. I've dealt with this since forever, evident from my nonexistent fingernails. Perhaps you'd ask about my childhood. It was comfortable, but I was no easy child to handle. A defining aspect of my early years was the intense "people-pleasing" I engaged in. Being liked was my lifeline, and I went to great lengths to gain appreciation. Emotions consumed me, and they still do. Behind the facade of a writer, I wore a mask to hide my anxiety. I let it sabotage my relationships and dream opportunities, leaving me in disarray. My ambition to be a travel blog writer was curtailed by anxiety's relentless grip. I beli...
