Cont. Part 2

     The searching continued till around 2 30 that night i blogged last . . . Did find some interesting data . There is one more consultancy which say they would help me out totally, get this, for no fee ! That is very surprising . I will be visiting their office monday morning and the "professionals" monday noon . Yeah , thats gonna be a busy monday .
   
Vtu transcripts are gonna be one more story with the bank from where i took the dd getting closed early today and morrow, may day, being a big holiday for the bank whose weekly day off is monday. Definitely no monday blues for them !

So thats the deal i have got for myself and i feel this should be enough to get me packing :) I still wonder about the education loans students take keeping their homes as collateral in banks . The needs serious thought and full confidence on our ability to pay the principle, interest and compound interest back . Somehow i dont think i will do that . My mom will pay my fee, Germany is not going to be a costly affair :)

Why do foreign universities seem so alluring ? Is it a wish of most young people to get away to a totally different place for a while with no one we know nearby , to take care of us so that we are entirely on our own ? There will be no one to depend on, everything will depend on the friends we make there, there wont be any relations in case of emergencies or your school friend to come over when you are bored .... Do i really want to go? Ha ha just kidding, yes i want to . It kind of lets us believe in ourselves when we can manage in such a different environment to survive on our own , happily , makes a huge difference, gives us the confidence that we can do anything and makes us ready to handle life, i guess .

That's it for tonight , eagerly waiting to see the oktoberfest ! (lets drink to it ! cheers ! :)

To Germany, In a hurry !

     The dreaded arranged marriage for any Indian girl can occur at any age after 18 . I had told my parents with no room for doubt that i would not be getting married until after my post graduation . Being Indian parents means they listen to everybody else regarding the future of their child except the 22 year old adult who is their "kid" . So it does not entitle me to get angry on them when they wanted to "show(case)" me to the parents of a guy who is in the USA, who planned to come back to India and start an industry .

      The row that followed when they tried to fool me by saying they had to come to bangalore and i did not have to come to mysore as they had "some" work spurred me to decide that i had to leave immediately if i did not want to get tied up .  So started my search on the vast but sometimes so useless internet . USA and UK admissions are closed, that leaves Germany as a good option . Consultancies calls start pouring in once we type higher education in google search and drop our numbers . There is one particular consultancy which seems very professional and indeed charge a very professional fee of INR 25000 !

     That meant i had to do the searching and applying myself which might take time while the consultancy assured me that i would be able to join this years September batch if i let them take care of all the procedures while taking care of just the fee transfer . I have decided to search tonight full . Night-out trying to save a substantial sum of money . By morning if am no closer to the methods of applying to German universities for the courses i want, i will be giving the professionals a call to help me fly .
