Greetings fellow readers. It has been a long time since I drafted anything worth reading. Hopefully, this time, the write-ups would be less infrequent.

So, wondering what took me this long to pen down my latest adventure? Well, I am not a mere writer anymore. I am a student of LAW! Hold on, this isn’t a new phenomenon. Many people have chosen this unconventional way of career growth. The only difference is, my decision involves a full-time programme at one of India’s leading law schools. Believe me, having spent less than four months on this campus, I am convinced that the world will be far from what I had imagined it to be.

What prompted me to take this leap of faith? Simple – a slow and nearly stagnant career and a dismal salary. While the monetary benefits weren’t a major concern (beyond a certain point in time), I yearned for newer challenges, responsibilities, and roles. None of these seemed even remotely possible given the organisation’s workflow.

I decided to attempt the LSAT-India exam in January 2022, with the mere intention of ONLY trying my luck. But I guess the universe had other plans. It was destined that I would tender my resignation by March 15, 2022, at the news organisation I had worked for, serve my notice period and join the law school that had offered me admission.

The decision required to shift bases from Chennai to Delhi-NCR. More importantly, I knew that this move would present a new set of challenges. While the journey so far has given me interesting insights into the minds of the GenZ section of our society, I admit that the perceptions of certain concepts have changed drastically. Gender sensitisation has become a key element in educational institutions, with the youth taking the lead in various initiatives on these lines. Friendships have a new dimension, especially with social media being in the forefront as opposed to face-to-face human interaction.

Adapting to today’s world of education, though tricky, teaches you more than what many may imagine.

Hopefully, my tales would tickle a bone or two!
