One and a half months in ACJ has redefined life.
If coming to the best journalism school is an achievement, then staying here and going through the entire ordeal is rewarding. Having the best journalists across the world speak to you is a life time opportunity.
The daily schedule of modules is a learners paradise. If TV got me to capture Karunanidhi and Indian cricket team on the camera, then editing and writing have been giving food to the fodder. The teachers are experienced journalists from different sections of the media. Their experience just enhances the lectures and takes it a notch above.
If the daily classes are mind boggling, then coming to the hostel is crazy. And having the biggest room in the hostel coupled with amazing roommate's only adds to the craziness. The microwave maggi, ready made food, late night chattering, getting up minutes before the class, I'm loving this life. I yearned for this.
First few days at ACJ, gave me culture shocks. Now, its fun to sit down and study each peculiar character here. There is a Foucault freak, a music freak, chatter boxes and many book worms. ( I'm still discovering people)
With broadened horizons, open book exams and a trip home, I have enough to look up to in the coming weeks.
