Dreams are dreams till you are asleep but once you wake up
it can have wings and fly...fly to that distant land where I dream to fly, fly
like those birds touching the blue sky unknowingly and relishing every bit of
that altitude...soaring higher and higher...no boundaries, no walls, sky is the
limit, the zenith of my ambition is there....beyond those blue ocean.
Yes, my dream of studying abroad has one destination which I
crave for, in fact have always fancied, longed to take my little bag, book my
tickets and just land up in that University all by myself.
My dream course flooding my eyes, my heart full of beats and
leaps to just have one class in that esteemed university.
Writing was passion for me ever since I had started to
decipher things. Well my articulation skills were not very convincing but
surprisingly when I started pouring those words into that white little paper it
weaved a different picture. Those little words transformed into pearls and were
a reader’s delight always.
I always underestimated myself for not being a vocal person
and when with many I almost lost my ability to utter words in coherence.Shy,
introvert I started penning down my thoughts into those little blank pages of
my Diary from my childhood and even when I had no one to talk to, would start
off with my pen and pour down anything and everything out there. My little
autobiography, as you may call it.
Those Diaries started doubling and all my gibberish thoughts
too.
I was a young girl who had to opt for a career and I could
never think of anything than a writing course....why not a writer? Well in
India there are many tags attached to a writer. “Writing can be passion not a job” "Writers are mostly into their own philosophical world and have
nothing to do with this practical life” "Writers have hard time feeding their
families"...what no but my passion was robust, taking up English Hon's gave me
the first bantam push and dreams went on tickling me as I could see a
little writer in me breathing inside. The fetus was there always alive to
bloom into a full born child.
What more I had those dreams of flying high. What would a
writer aspire for....? Well a writing course, a creative writing course because
that was my strength and I wanted to get an admission in the best of the
university and the first name which popped in my mind was University of Oxford.
I was adamant, I was crazy, I ate, slept and dreamt of those
beautiful English surroundings, the green lawns, the gothic settings of the
university and I was there to chase my dreams.
What would it be to do a creative writing course from Oxford
University? Wow! just had this on my mind always.Love for written words was a fancy, fantasy and fetish for me.
I did not think of anything than pursuing a course with proper guidance and
skills to attract my readership.
Creative writing is in itself a very creative disciple but
there has to be a proper pattern and the characteristics of writing should be
instilled in the device which can bring out the soul of expression and directly
knock the heart of readers globally.
Guidance and help through different stages is required for
an amateur writer and a creative writing course from oxford would surely help
me in that. My focus would be surely into fiction but a creative writing course
can also help me use various tools which I can utilize in writing non-fiction,
poetry, script so that would be a great bonus.
Writing is a creative game but the game needs to be
played quite efficiently where words are the apparatus and placing the written
words in the appropriate junction is the key to be a good writer and I have
heard that course in creative writing would help out with such game planning.
Juggling words, using different techniques, experimenting with creative ability
with words as prop would be a great enhancer.
Practical teaching lessons with exercises will surely help
me a lot to juggle my words like a proficient juggler...well a writer you may
call.
There are 10 weeks course which will be quite an apt time
for me to understand things. I would love to understand the fictional tools
which are needed to write fiction be it the plot or the character, the
dialogues or the script. I need a thorough guidance on the tone, sub tones, imagery,
narration, editing, genre, character display and many more and thus I take the
plunge of applying
A great opportunity will it be for me to interact with
global setting and students from worldwide. I have goosebumps while I am writing and I still am
pinching my skin to believe that those little pages in my diary had such an
enormous flame to kindle my spirit in this mammoth style that I am here to
apply for my dream course in the most prestigious university of the world.
My written words are just like those little diamonds which
are priceless and renders me so much joy that I fly in to another heaven where
life is only a thing of beauty for me. What better if I have the scope to hold
those diamonds and weave a garland.
I see myself as an author someday and I know that if I have
proper training I can surely be able to fulfil my dreams of making my
words breathe life. Might be a great Bestseller is due to the world and the writer is just in the
making...who knows?
Thanks, British counsel for at least giving me this
opportunity to pen down my dream, take out my passion in this white sheet and pour
my heart out to the world. Passion blended with practical approach can actually
turn dreams into reality. My reality is just about to begin...it has a long way
to go.
My ticket to happiness is all about getting an admission in
my dream university and off I take the first plunge of at least focussing on my goal, my creative
colours are just waiting to be splashed around the world and I see myself as
Writer.
Who knows I may be honoured as a writer for a Bestselling
Novel in a few years:) My manifestation does wonders and my hard work,
passion and a professional course from my dream university has the alchemist
touch which would render me the title “The magnetic writer of all times”
