Wow! what a day I had today!! It's certainly one-of-those special days in my life.. :))
Today I have received my first appointment letter(after some period of sheer uncertainty) as a lecturer under the University of Calcutta. Though I should admit that,till last year,my original goal was to persuade my career in my writing skill rather teaching [writing ,specially about those things I have witnessed,realised, enjoyed (& sometimes hated the most) in my urban-life,is really close to my heart .....it's among those few activities that i can't quit under any condition...though now days it's really hard to find time/make-my-mind for penning something new...may be things will change from now onwards,for better,hopefully!].
However, off late I have realised that,writing solely can't be a real career option, rather I should treat it as an extra-curricular activity (i know it sounds little weird but can't help at the present).So,I made my mind for teaching (specially after having a couple of real moral-boosting conversations with one of my seniors in this field).
Of course I was (& still am) very much reluctant to become a mere school-teacher, after have spent so many years in the Jadavpur University. However,for me, teaching under a reputed University is much more prestigious thing and so didn't hesitate to accept this offer!
By the way,I have to join that college on the 1st September and class will commence from 5th,on the Teacher's day!!
Lets hope for the best!:)
