Masters!

So far, I had applied for my Masters program only once in my life time. It was during my 8th semester (1st half of 2006) for the course in International Construction management at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore with all the hope that I will get an admission. But unfortunately I failed to secure a place to do my masters at that point of time. When I intended to know the reason for the rejection, I understood that the course warrants for some work experience prior to getting admission for the particular course.

It was in fact my long time ambition also do a Masters program. One of my reasons to come to Singapore and stay here for sometime also stems from the fact of my intension to do my Masters as a Part-time student here. Believe me, it is very difficult to even think about doing masters in full time, resigning my present job, considering the present financial crisis and amount of money which I will have to spend on my Masters program.

I had heard from quite many people that it is difficult to do a Masters or any studies for that matter after working for some time. But the truth is if you have the fullest interest and willingness to do the course nothing could stop you from learning. It would even be more convenient if you will do it as a part time course! Here I am trying my second attempt to pursue my master program in part time.

Last time I made a mistake by applying for just one course. Lately I understood from my experience here that we can almost apply for 8 courses at a time. It doesn’t mean that I want to try all the 8 chances; I am focused to what I want to do. Still as a step of caution I am applying for MS in Civil Engineering along with my most favourite course of MS in Construction Management.

So it my suggestion to all the students who aspire to do Masters in foreign universities to apply for at least 2 or more courses rather than deeply sticking to your only one most liked course. It is just to avoid disappointments. Because many times if it is the case you will be unknowingly missing the chances like me!!

Hero's Bull Shits!

I like watching almost all kind of movies. Either it be an action, comedy or an romance preferable in english, tamil and hindi. But now-a-days watching certain tamil films (which I prefer most being it my mother tongue), I really become mad by the un-imaginable heroic scenes.
Right from hero introduction songs, punch dialogue, fight sequences (where our hero bashes some 20 to 25 guys at a time) it is all utter crap scenes without any logic which is nothing but bull-shit. Even every other actor who had only acted in 2 or 3 films thinks himself as a Super-star of the industry and obviously kills us with their so called acting talents! They are really going overboard!
At-least wont the director or any one for this reason has a true idea of what they are actually filming? or do they think audience will like whatever non-sense they take? I don’t know how these producers, who invest crores and crores of rupees on these films, believe the crew so blindly!
They are literally trying to fool out everyone who pays hundreds of rupees and sit inside the theatre to watch their movies! And the worst thing is even after clearly knowing that their movie is a biggest flop after release, the actor and the complete crew go to every other TV channels, magazines, FM stations, talk shows to boast BIG about their films! what a poor marketing strategy??!! I feel like slapping all this guys right on their face when I come across these ultimate crap stuffs.
Of course there are a few class movies being released every year but they become negligible comparing to the number of hero centric films. I wish this trend in the industry changes soon..
