shame wannabe Monday Morning quitters don't get a Tata Safari Dicor.
@ phreak - well.. actually most of them were inspired by what I saw on TV :)
yeah yeah every kid wants to be a pilot!
@ oz - huh!? just coz u want it and ur a wannabe mm quitter, ha! highhhhh hopes!
interesting!
ni agree on the teacher bit....i think every indian girl wants/wanted to be a teacher, n every indian boy, a pilot
so much for steretypes while we were growing up
when i was five, i did not want to be just an 'actress', but i wanted to be sreedevi :)
FUN!! So what did you end up doing professionally???
Well, I wanted to be a spy. Had a bag full of disguises.
storyteller.. dont see why u still cant be one..and i dont mean the phattebaaz type :)
@ autogato - well.. i'm a writer/instructional designer (elearning)... interesting enough but there's no make up no drama :)
@ dev - spy! yeah! damn! all those famous five novels! you know what.. I'd actually started writing one of those novels myself when I was in 7th std :)) i think it was called fantastic four or sth equally lame hehee
@ jedi - dunno if u remember this serial on TV "Potli baba ki" this travelling old man ready with a story everytime.. I wanted to be a travelling storyteller with a worn out cloth bag holding my few belongings :)
what's "phattebaaz" type?
phatte -> pl. of phatta, dupsa, reel, long ones, lies..
btw what do u do now for a living/career?
Writer and instructional designer? What kinds of things do you write and design?
I create courses that can be accessed online or thru a CD.
I create lessons, assessments, ideas for animations and graphics, and design practice activities that can be done using technology (ppl learn it by doing it).
So basically I create courses that takes the place of instructor led training or complements ILT.
That's what I do :)
Holy )(@*#. Thaat sounds cool. And like it takes major smarts! Sounds like you are super skilled with computers. Wow. Do you make those CDs (or a similar product) like I see advertised on TV? The ones that teach a person how to use the computer? Do you write online learning environments like Blackboard and WebCT?
yeah i create online learning stuff.. blackboard and webct are more like the classrooms where instructors (my courses) will come and teach.. sorry for the bad analogy :\
I can create a course out of anything that you can teach.. so there can be courses teaching kids how to use computers to courses teaching the art of living to stressed out grad school ppl :P
Its quite simple really.. its just not a very familiar thing.. i'm sure an accountant's job is as complex or as easy as mine.
