Recession: A New Gateway!

In this time of recession people are trying out various things. In my recent interactions with various people, I have found professionals exploring entirely different fields from their current domains. I met one IT professional who is doing a Fashion designing course along with her job. I was amazed to hear this. People have various reasons to go for such kind of options, one of them is to mitigate the risks where husband and wife both are working in the same industry, or few wants to be an entrepreneur. So they want to purse their hobby as an alternate career option.

In India every parent dreams their children to become a Doctor or an Engineer, very few lucky persons get the chance to purse their hobby as profession. Now a days its easier for them to pursue their dreams. It seems that harder times make people more innovative and courageous.

Here's the list of most popular creative courses among the people:

  • Fashion designing
  • Textile designing
  • Dancing
  • Vocal Music
  • Painting

In hyderabad there are various institutes which provide training.

My top 15 K-dramas list

It has been more than a year since I got hooked on Korean dramas. I like the happy ending (mostly) and stories are finished in 16-20 episode...
