Fantastic

There are people who follow their dreams relentlessly and then there is me.

Let me tell you the story of the girl who found her dream literally at the end of the rainbow. Here was a girl who has been working since she was in school as well. She would do all sorts of part time jobs to get a little pocket money. Soon she had a network and could get jobs in travel houses etc. Before you knew it, she finished graduation and started working with a travel house for a bit. She knew she wanted to be in PR. Didnt know how to go about it. Meanwhile, she landed a job that paid fairly well with a call center and decided to take it up. Not only was she earning well, she also spoke in the best ameican accent available, read up on the country she serviced and learnt a lot, partied tons and generally had a blast. Finally after about a year or so, she decided this was a dead end job and decided to look for a job in PR. When it seemed too tough to do, she took up a job with an IT company doing various things. Today, I am proud to say, my friend has landed a job with a PR company. Her sms said "got job with pr company.. my dream come true". All she had to say to express her joy. No exclamation mark, no call. Just one line to let me know her dream was unfolding itself in reality.

This is the person who threw a huge party for her mother's 50th birthday all by herself at the age of 22. This is the person who almost fell for a man twice her age. This is the person who never let go of what she wanted to do in life. I am proud to say- this person is a very close friend of mine.
