Is it really my cup of tea?

Today, I saw my second article been published in a broadsheet. Unlike the day when my previous article was published, I didn't go ga-ga over it.

Yes, I actually went ga-ga over the first article. I showed it to Mom, Dad, Mayura Mam, the rest of the staff, J, Anu and other friends. Impressed with my first byline, Mam decided to display it on the notice board. But, it didn't get over there. I scanned the article, uploaded it on FB and made it a point that it gets noticed! Afterall, it was my first byline!

But, today when I think about all that I feel sick about it. It's sort of embarrassing to indulge into boasting like this. "It's so not you Priyanka", my heart said.

With this little bug in my head, I opened today's paper to find my second article in a Marathi Daily - Aapla Mahanagar. I decided not to be dotty this time. I kept my cool and shoved the paper inside my bag.

In the college, I was sitting in the Creativity Room, when Mam enterred. She congratulated me for my work. I felt really good knowing that without advertising for yourself and forcing people notice your efforts, people do recognise you if you work hard. But, that's not the end of it all. Here comes the twist! She made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I was exhilarated when she explained what is the offer all about. (Even now, while writing this blog, my adrenaline is pumping!). I felt that I am on cloud nine!!!

As far as the offer is concerned, I seriously don't want to refuse it. Afterall, journalism was my childhood dream!

But, it WAS my CHILDHOOD DREAM. My real dream is to be a Copywriter. I know, if given a chance, writing for newspaper can be my cup of tea; but if that's the case, then I prefer coffee.... Copywriting is my coffee! And I want to keep drinking my coffee till the last moment of my life!

Ok, jokes apart! But, really... let's think over it. By taking this opportunity, would I be diveating from my path? Or would it really help me in enhancing my skills?

I am confused!?!
