After my graduation in 2004, I had a strong desire to be a post-graduate. But things didn't fall in place. I was also very weak in academics. I tried three different courses(M Com, ICWA and Dipl in Fashion Designing). But was unsuccessful. My mother arrived at a conclusion that she had given birth to a big zero.
I had done my .net course from NIIT Vashi and Web designing from IWSA. But it didn't take my career anywhere, contrary to expectations.
Then in the year 2013, something brought a smile on my face. It was the SMU ie Sikkim Manipal University banner which I happened to see, just above the Kshir Sagar hotel, Vashi. I immediately went to their branch office over there, spoke to them, went back home, took the required documents and secured admission on the same day. The course was:
MA(Journalism and mass communications)
In September 2015, I passed my post-graduate course.
This degree, the makeup course and the base that I learned from the diploma Fashion Designing course brought confidence inside me. The 'worthless' feeling went out.
Finally now in July 2022, I'm designing clothes. Very soon the sample pieces will be shown to you all. I have self published fourteen ebooks and four serial stories. Although according to me 'Kriti and Shruti' was not that good, like the way the genre of this was- 'inspirational for teenagers'. It was just meant to break the myths and taboos and to mould the very valuable teenage minds of India towards the right direction. It was-
You are strong
Don't feel disheartened
Slow and steady wins the race
You can learn to cook
You can put makeup
You can learn it too
Yes, its true that the career paths which I've chosen are not money-minting ones, but it makes me happy. It's my passion. And so I'm happy.
These thoughts, the history ofcourse is a bit-old, but today while surfing the net I saw something that made me smile and go down memory lane. The 'Sikkim Manipal University' has now given place to 'Online Manipal'. This looks as good. The link is given below:

A ray of hope to the shattered-
'I'm married', 'I'm pregnant', 'I've a child', 'I've a 9 to 5 job', 'I can't attend the college premises', 'I'm not permitted by my in-laws to leave the house' etc... etc
Just throw all these excuses out of the window and online Manipal is the much needed relief.
So gear up, take admission and work hard, the world is here.
