Anwesha Padhy- The New HT Campus Blogger

Being a science student,I should be a rationalist. But I can’t shake the feeling that your sun sign is creepily accurate about the kind of person you are. Go through one of those astrology books and you will know just what I mean. I am a Leo. And as a consequence, I am naturally flamboyant. I am very ambitious. I am adamant bordering on stubborn.

On a more personal level, I am quintessentially a character out of a chick flick. I am quirky and talk a lot. Then get worried about talking a lot. My daily conversations are peppered with references from movies and books.

My idea of a perfect day is curling up in bed with a good book in hand, despite the fact, that I am very hard working and disciplined when it comes to pursuing my goals and ambitions.

I love reading books because it gives me an opportunity to escape into the lives of the characters. Living their lives; experiencing their emotions; being at two places at once is what gives me a huge kick.  And frankly it is a lot easier on the pocket when you want to travel to Europe - just take up a Jane Austen novel and you are already there.

As someone who read all previous campus journalist columns religiously and dreamed of being pictured as a CJ when I grew up, the very idea of getting selected was overwhelming, surreal even.
I am certain that my experience as a campus journalist is going to be very memorable.
