My first job


Every first thing is fascinating, crazy and of course it leaves one with the best memories for lifetime. For instance your first crush!

I took my first job at a talent school, a mesmerizing hub of nurturing talents. Being a creative writer, I originally was more attracted to the place on my first visit as all around were people who really cared about their dreams and had passion to drive their talents into meaning. I thus joined as a freelancer without a second thought.

On my further acquaintance I discovered ‘Indian School of Talent,’ was a new concept, something non-traditional, something other than the normal keep-studying-till-you-cross-twenty concept. They had semester based approach facilitating scholars, college goers and even passionate married spouses to join the league of talent-finders. With many departments of talent- Music, Dance, Art and Craft, Taekwondo, etc- they facilitated easy learning through veteran trainers.

My experience at ISOT has been worth sharing, I gained big fames by the end of the journey. Starting from their website content, I leaped on to newsletters, press-releases, brochures, departmental case-studies and short write-ups. Though I worked there for a short while of approx sixty days, but the learning and the journey itself has been worth remembering for a lifetime. It was from there that I started blogging, http://www.daydreamer303.blogspot.in that has now crossed a thousand page views. Moreover, I was also selected as a contributor for the National web page of TIMES OF INDIA during the tenure of my job. And now, here I have my own profile page on TOI’s website: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nricontributeprofile/22628709.cms


It is a pleasure for me to express my greatest gratitude towards Mr Manu Panwar, Director ISOT who did teach me many a things, those I shall carry with me for lifetime. The people I met there, Dushyant Singh Pundir, Ashwini, Mukesh Birla, Vishal Sharma, Nidhi Kakkar, Kritika Som, Deepak Sharma, Sandeep Saini, Shrishti, Sumeet Kaur, Anita Sharma and to not forget the helpful maids and service boys, shall always have their imprints in my heart. I look forward to remain a helping hand in any means.
