What I Do...

I just graduated like a few days ago. So, yeah... Congratulations to me!!!

Yeay! Finally a graduate!


My Graduation Party with the awesome ET Ideas !!!

During my convocation, a few of them asked me what was I doing (as in my career) and about my event invitations that I frequently sent out through Facebook.

So, this blog is about what I do. 

When I was 21 (which is 4 years back), I met this amazing group of entrepreneurs called ET Ideas (www.ET-Ideas.com) and the person that guided them all, Elango Thiyagu (www.elangothiyagu.com).

I was fascinated with the things they do. Doing a career or a job they love and also bringing awareness to people about following their heart.

For a year, I followed the group for almost every activity they organize. From becoming a participant, I took the initiative to learn and became part of the organizing team.

Meanwhile, I tried writing a book only to feel frustrated because I couldn't get the idea flowing. I stopped, spoke to my mentor - Elango (www.elangothiyagu.com), and started writing another book which didn't really work out as well.

This went on for a year. I was upset looking at others progressing in their career when I didn't move much.

But I didn't realize I was learning about patience. If I did leave the group because nothing much was happening to me, then I wouldn't have the opportunity of discovering some of the best things in my life.

At the end of that year, my mentor suggested an idea to host a live discussion program called ET Youth (www.facebook.com/ETYouth). Its main concept is to get the younger generation to do what they love by following their heart.

It has been more than 3 years since I started hosting ET Youth (www.facebook.com/ETYouth). The number of guest keeps increasing. Some of the regulars who kept coming since the time we begin ET Youth became ET Ideas associates (www.ET-Ideas.com). Most of them are happy to follow their heart and are now on their journey to success.

Wefie with the crazy audience of ET Youth !

To my dear friends, ET Youth is the event I frequently invite you guys for. After all, it is a FREE event that many have benefited from. And since I have changed and benefited from it, I invite you guys to break out of the system and follow your dreams too. Especially to do something you love to do and not be confined to what society tells you to do.

And so, ET Youth kick-started my career to many other things!

One of it is called the Corporate Video Brochure. My company, Clicking Pens  (www.ClickingPens.com) collaborates with a production company, Why Not Productions, to produce a marketing tool to promote client's products and services. From script writing, coming out with storyboards, camera angles, interviewing company CEO's to getting testimonials about their products and services is part of what I do to produce the Corporate Video Brochure.



Working on client's Corporate Video Brochure. Never knew it would be so much fun !

Recently, I am grateful to have more people in my team to help out in my projects which is also a learning curve for them.

So, what else do I do? Here's my latest project that my team and I are working on. ONLINE RADIO!!! It's as interesting as my excitement shows about it. I have not much knowledge about it but I also think, that's the best part. As long as your heart is into it, you wouldn't mind discovering things along the way.



Online radio interviews and advertisement making. A whole new experience and looking forward to more of it !
Oh yeah! My writing career is also progressing through this blog!

Well... I'm proud to say that every projects that I'm working on under my company, Clicking Pens (www.ClickingPens.com), is all related to what I've studied before (Mass Communication and Journalism). I'm not trying to brag here, but that's also the reason why I got a 3.98 CGPA in my degree. Plainly because if you study what you love and apply it in the real life, I'm pretty sure you would excel like me too.

So... here's to those curious about what I do. And I have to say, I'm enjoying every bit of it. 

P.S. I ensure that you too can do what you love to do as a career. You just need have the guts to take the step towards it!
