I regret that I didn't do this. There are a lot of tips people would give you about the course Bachelors of Mass Media (BMM). Even I had shared various tips related to BMM earlier. But hands down, no tip can beat this one.

If you are in the first year of BMM, you still have time. But if you're in SY, I'm sorry, but the clock's running! (Unless you want to skip lectures and follow this tip!)

So, I am in my last year, rather, last semester of this course, and I awfully regret to not have followed this tip myself. Call it your senior's experience, but yes, the greatest of all the tips is, of course, INTERNSHIPS.

If you think that you'll do great without them, then, hey! You're wrong.

I'm a lazy person when it comes to internships. I had interned once, for a period of three months, at a company selling online lectures; I was the content and the creative writer there, and I absolutely loved my job, until one day, when things started going absurd; the management was handed over to another guy, and the seriousness and the weight of the workload became heavier. Maybe, just maybe, that was the reason I thought of not interning anywhere after this.

But, I'm lucky that I got the lessons of the work-culture right in my first job/internship. If you ask me, I would highly recommend you guys to go for internships. The best time is now, summer vacation, or maybe, Diwali vacation.
Lot of your friends might be interning somewhere, and you might be thinking that their marks are getting affected due to internships, but no; if you work for a quarter (three months) in the vacations, you will absolutely rock your marksheet plus your resume too!

If you can't travel by local trains in summer (for Mumbaikars), you have no choice, honey. I wish there was someone to guide me through BMM. Just slather sunscreen, carry water, cover your face, wear light-coloured clothes, and just go! Go to your office, and work. You gotta do it! Come what may!

I feel sometimes, that in spite of having so much of potential and experience in the writing field, I still have so less to flaunt in my resume. (Of course I have my blog plus other outstanding academical activities, but just two internship/job appointment letters.) If you're like me and you too feel that you have potential in certain field and would surely get a job anywhere you would apply, then do it right away! Go and apply for internships right now...to all the FY and SY students, now is the time.

Apart from what you learn over there and the experience, internships are fun. They're funner if you're getting paid! So just forget about how hot it is outside, or how you wanted to enjoy your summer vacations, and start applying right away.
If you want sites to apply for internships, do comment below; I'll tell you where all to look for internship offers.

Thank you; and I hope I was of some help. Good evening, y'all! See you tomorrow!
Lots of love!

There are so many students who are done with their exams and are looking for some interesting activities to add fun in this extremely hot and boring vacation. Though my batch-mates and I still haven't got done with our exams, this post is for all those wanting for some fun.

Okay, so summer activities basically include all the water-related things. It's definitely going to help you get rid of the heat for some time, and also be helpful towards your momma.

So what are those activities?

One. Wash your clothes // If you're living in a hostel, you should probably go and wash the dirty heap of clothes. Also, if you're living with your parents, I'm sure there might be some light-coloured clothes kept in your bathroom to be washed with hands, as machine-wash is simply risky for them. Go ahead and wash those light-coloured and delicate clothes. Guys, your football jerseys, too, need some good washing. So don't hesitate and wash them now; help your mom.

Two. Wash your bags // If you are bored of your bags, it is probably because they don't appear fresh and new. It's high time that you wash off the dirt, and flaunt your bag this summer. Also, most of your bright coloured bags tend to get dirty soon; wash them before you head for a day-out or a swim in a beach or pool with your best friends.

Three. Wash your shoes // As it is summer, you won't need shoes and boots. So wash your flip-flops and flats and bellies. We generally use the flip-flops too hastily, and it is time you wash those pretties; after all, they're the ones who are there with you throughout the summer.

Four. Wash your belts // As the belts go inside the t-shirts, we ignore them. But you need to get up and wash your belts...or they might protest and you would have your pants slip down! Avoid the embarrassing laughter, and wash the belts.

Five. Have a self-pampering shower // Due to final exams or hectic routine, we often wash our bodies pretty quickly. We tend to ignore the body parts like neck, elbows, knees, feet, knuckles, etc. So why don't you go in the shower and spend a good hour on rinsing your body completely?

Six. Join Swimming // May it be just a new stroke that you don't know, or may it be just 'casual', join swimming. It is going to add a total refreshment to your dull vacation. And if your society has a swimming pool, then viola!

Seven. Clean bathroom and toilet // Help your mom with cleaning these two water-based units. Cleaning bathroom is a total fun, I promise you!

Eight. Do the dishes // If your maid takes a sudden leave, you can do the dishes. Put the fan on its maximum speed, turn on the music, and wash the dishes; it is the best summer activity so far.

Nine. Wash your vehicles // Though somebody else washes the vehicles for you, washing them yourself is better. The man assigned for washing might just do it for the sake of doing, but if you do, you're going to make sure every inch of your vehicle is clean.

Ten. Sweep the floors // When I was little, my brother and I used to sweep floors once in every summer vacation. Instead of washing them professionally, we used to pour some water on the floor, and well, SLIDE. My brother and I used to love this.

Eleven. Clean the veranda and/or stairs // If you're living in a bungalow, you're sure to have some empty space as your veranda. So wash out the veranda! You can also clean the stairs near your door, or that of your bungalow.

Twelve. Gardening // One day, in the evening or in the morning, just go down, and water all the plants in your society. You can take the pipe from the gardener and help him one day. The smell of the earth is surely going to refresh you, and it's a water-based activity, therefore, it is going to be a cool one.

Thirteen. Make water bubbles // My brother and I used to sit in our balconies, and blow bubbles made out of water and soap. All you need is water, soap, and paper.

Fourteen. Play water-Holi // Take your little cousin's water-gun and spray water on each other on terrace or at home. But don't forget to clean the house later!

Fifteen. Hit the beach // Going swimming pool and beach are two different things. Going to the beach allows you to eat bhel, swim, play Frisbee, or better yet, take selfies.

Sixteen. Go on a vacation at a cool place // Go on a trip to the mountains where there is cold throughout the year. For Indians, you can go to J&K and enjoy! Oh dear! I want to go there, right NOW!

Seventeen. Make lemonade and store it // You can make lemonade or other juices and store them in refrigerator. They're great when you are thirsty, dehydrated, and need energy. You can similarly make kokum serbat and give it to the guests or your parents.

Eighteen. Wash your pets // Wash your pets. It is going to be fun as they wag their tails and make you wet along with them!

Nineteen. Have ice cream // You can either have or make ice cream at home. Either way, you're going to love it.

Twenty. Wash Kitchen Platform // Another fun way to bring in the cool is to wash the kitchen platform. You have to simply pour water everywhere, and then clean with a cloth or a mop.

Twenty One. Go to water resort // This is a real fun activity. Going out to water resorts with family or friends is a way you can enjoy summer and also spend some really great time with your dearies. Watch: What to pack to a water park

What are your plans this summer?

Hey! It was Gudhi Padva yesterday. Gudhi Padva is the Maharashtrian New Year. The month of 'Chaitra' begins from this day.

I had never posted an outfit post on TPCG, but now this won't happen. There will be lot of such posts on the blog henceforth.

On Gudhi Padva, every year, there's a parade of Maharashtrian cultured people and different props. There are girls playing lezim, there's a little boy dressed as Shivaji Maharaj, there are kolis dancing, and also there are other important things of my city. My building friends and I go down to watch this parade every year, after erecting the Gudhi at our own places. We dress in Indian attires and go down to watch the parade. It's fun, and definitely a must watch.
Mostly, every year, I miss the initial ten minutes of the parade; even this year, I missed them.
There are women dancing, beautifully dressed in sarees and the nose rings, known as naths. Men are seen in kurtas and saffron coloured headgear known as phetas. And also, seen in the recent years, there are young boys clicking pictures of the parade with their expensive DSLR cameras. Also, there are reporters covering the event.
In all, it's a jolly time.

For this, I had worn a Kerala styled dress, which is commonly available in the market. Lot of girls wear this style of dress.
My maternal aunt had given me this dress material, and I had sewed a dress out of it. This dress is even dearer to me as she passed away few years back, and she had given me this material just few months before her death.
