RISHABH SURI- HT Campus Blogger

A wise man makes more opportunities than he finds. This saying makes sense because opportunities may not always land up at your doorstep. You create them. I have believed in this philosophy for quite a while now. Let me introduce myself. I am Rishabh Suri. These days I am mostly exhausted and at my wit’s end, thanks to the seemingly insurmountable and harrowing admission process. Essentially a peaceful person, I like reading books and watching movies, with Dan Brown and Chetan Bhagat being my favourite authors.

At the tender age of seven, I had made up my mind about my career choice. I wanted to be an astronaut. However, this lofty goal was not to be attained. Scoring terrible marks in maths, and writing formulae in chemistry and physics that would have put Newton to shame, I realised in time that science was not my calling. I chose humanities in Class 11, much to the horror of my parents and teachers. Music is the love of my life. I also have an argumentative side and I am a natural debater. I have participated in various debates at school and won a number of accolades. I like to please people around me and always like to cheer somebody who is feeling low. Being a Leo, I like to be the centre of attraction, and can be quite rude to people who give me an unwarranted cold shoulder. Calm, yet a storm of new ideas is how I would like to describe myself in a few words.

I intensely dislike people who lie or simply ‘hide’ the truth. Maybe this aversion has something to do with my aim of becoming a journalist. One day I want to become the editor of a national daily. Therefore, this chance to work with click4college as a campus journalist is much more than a mere opportunity to me. I am hoping that this experience will open up new vistas and insights into the field of journalism. I am also hoping that I will inculcate the skills that are essential prerequisites for this profession. As I embark upon my stint as a CJ, I request all of you to encourage my efforts (and those of the rest of my fellow CJs) by regularly reading our columns and sending us the much-needed feedback.
