New Direction

So I have been volunteering at a school. I help kids who are from economically weak sections with their homework. It is fun trying to teach them and help them with their homework.

The younger ones don't listen and talk a lot. The older ones have a lot questions.

I wish I could do this as a job. I don't have a teacher's degree so I can't be a teacher at a school. But helping them is so fun. Frustrating job sometimes but very enjoyable. So I need to find a job which complements this one.

I hear back from one job posting which I had applied to. I emailed them my résumé which they asked for in the email. I emailed another publisher about any job openings. So lets see what happens next.

New Phase

So I have entered a new phase of my life. I resigned from my job at the publishers. My parents have supported me in this decision.

Yet I'm still confused to what I should be doing with my life. My cousin has also resigned. So at least I have company. But she had one thing which I don't have. Friends.

I find myself in a position with cousins and family friends, but no actual friends. How does an adult make friends? Where does one meet people? My school friends all have their social group and lives. I moved away for college, so I don't have friends here.

Indenpendence Day

So, it's Independence Day for India tomorrow.

But it's Independence Day for Pakistan today. So Happy Independence Day to my Pakistani friends.

Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves as I will tomorrow. I'm watching Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi as I'm writing this post since it has my favourite actor, Shah Rukh Khan.

Independence days seems to just a holiday for me. I mean, my generation doesn't realize what happened to get to this point. We all have read about it, but that's it. Of course, the many movies dedicated to the subject.

Next topic, I recently read a story on wordpress. It's called A Word's Worth and the best part is that all the chapters are named after movies.

I really like because the main character, Arnav, works in the publishing industry. Khushi, the other main character, works for a famous author and is a fan fiction writer.

It's an amazing story, a real story.

Another amazing story is by Maya Hill.
The story is written in the style which Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë wrote their novels. She writes an amazing story of Arnav and Khuhsi, characters of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon. You get sucked into the story instantly. She is rewriting the story and I really like it.

I really wish I could write like them but oh well I guess I should stick to finding errors in writings.
