I hate good-byes

"Why cant we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos." - Snoopy

Two of the best years of my life is came to an end and once again everything changed. Living in an apartment close to my college with two wonderful girls had been the best years of my life Through them I got to make new friends who will remain my life-long buddies. My life has changed again. Sometimes I wonder why things change so much; why can’t it just stay the same? But of course I know the answer very well. If life were to remain stagnant we would have never learned anything, never valued life and never valued ourselves. 

All the wonderful memories, the fun-times, the trips, night-outs and the gossips sessions can never be forgotten. When I look back I feel I have truly grown-up and evolved as an adult with a better personality and character. 


After that I left my student life to join the professional world. I have opened another book full of new memories with the old ones still fresh in my mind. 


2011 has been yet another year filled with surprises, sadness, moments of joy and ended with my wishes  coming true! Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Was 2011 your year?

PR Diaries

So, it's been 4 months since I started working at a PR firm. I have learned more in 4 months than I did in 4 years of college. That doesn't mean a college degree is useless. I started my networking in college, attended workshops (wish I attended a lot more) and got good exposure when it came to learning the basics and kickstarting my career.

• Always, always pay attention to details. 
• It's important to keep the clients up-to-date with everything you have been doing.
• Follow up, follow up and then follow up again with pitches
• Always cover up your work and keep your boss up-to-date with your work. (Always helps to let your boss know you are working hard.)
• Know everything about your client before pitching it to editors and writers.
• Always be in good terms with journalists and writers. 
• Never feed the story to the editor, ask their opinion on the story angle.
• Organization and prioritizing is very important when handling multiple accounts.

These are a few tips that I feel are important for anyone working in the PR field. It always helps to pass on the advice/tips and experiences, so hit me up with your ideas and thoughts! 

Passion, Dreams & Desires

Somebody pinch me, am I really a working-girl now?

I have heard that working is tedious and that you will start craving for weekends. But so far, I have loved working. Except for getting up early, I absolutely love going to work, putting my brain to work and of course being appreciated by my boss for my work.

I have just started at the bottom-most rung of the career ladder. I have a long way to go. However, I feel that every experience is taking me closer to my goal. Somedays, I feel that I'm worthless working hard for nothing. However, those are the days when I have spoken to people who do not understand the importance of passion and only give importance to money.

I encourage everyone to follow their passion no matter what others say. There will be some people who will continue to discourage you. But stand your ground. Follow your dreams and desires. I am speaking from experience!

"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from  focusing on what excites you." - Oprah Winfrey


I am now understanding the importance of following my passion. If I hadn't followed my passion and just followed the advice I got from most people, I would have cursed myself every single day. I see people around me complaining about work and how they don't connect to what they are doing. I just wish they had followed their dreams so they wouldn't be in a position to complain.

Everyone has dreams, but only a few can make their dreams come true. I am one of them. This is because passion has a key role in making these dreams come true. Once you realize your passions, it's just a matter of time before your dreams come true.

Remember, "Nothing great in this world has ever been accomplished without passion!"
