Breach of privacy

It's been long since I posted anything. I was basically tied up in my new job. I have decided to take my writing to a professional level and am a sub editor of a fashion and lifestyle magazine, Haut Monde. So now you'll have to pay to know about my lame views on world affairs. That pseudo busy schedule and the fact that I have no girl in my life left (to stalk) are the reasons that I didn't have anything to post.

But recently, things changed. If you would have read my previous posts, you must be aware of my overambitious aim of writing a novel. For writing that novel, I need to understand the psychology of a girl's mind (make a failed attempt at doing so). Basically, I wanted it to be a stranger so that I don't have any preconceived notions about her. I got in touch with a girl for doing so, basically I liked her profile because she is a student of journalism (the basic criterion for choosing her is the fact that she is good looking is unsaid) and such students are really good at expressing their views (often others too). 

Generally, girls are looking for their prince charming and planning to settle down. But this girl is different and this is the thing which I like most about her. In fact, the first thing which I noticed was her Facebook status which said "My basic aim in life is – To avoid marriage." Right after reading this, I figured out that this is my type of girl and we will get along really well, so I asked her to add me on Facebook to which she replied that her Facebook account has a lot of private information of hers and sharing that would be a breach of privacy. Later, on talking to her over the phone I got to know that the reason she broke up with her previous guy was because he wanted a long term commitment.

But like any other girl, even this girl has a dream which she wants to achieve by hook or by crook (although she can't achieve it by crook). This dream is not getting back some long lost love, but it relates to her career. She wants admission in a summer school in the US. She told me about this dream of hers and asked me whether I could be of any help to her. She had to submit an essay on why she should be chosen for the program and her Curriculum Vitae. Since I am a sub editor now so that means that I am good at editing stuff (on paper). I offered my help in editing her essay and her Curriculum Vitae.

Now I will tell you the story after that. She sent me the essay and her CV at 9 in the evening. After that my family had  a spontaneous plan for going to the movies. But I had to edit her documents. But again, the movie had good reviews and wasn't worth skipping. So I was in a dilemma so my impeccable lying ability came to my rescue. I asked her to stay up till 1 as editing required some time, she wanted to sleep early as she had to go somewhere early morning. I indifferently replied "sleep if you want, it is your work, I am not getting anything out of it." She decided to stay up.

Meanwhile, I was watching the movie. It was kind of overhyped. I mean true, performances of a couple of actors were good, but I didn't like the storyline much. But those are just my personal views and I am not a professional movie critic.

By the time I reached home, it was already 1 and I hadn't even started with the editing. She was awake only because I had told her so and was eagerly waiting. Now what to do? Again remedy of all problems, lying came to my rescue. I told her that her documents required some heavy editing and it will take the whole night in doing so. I said "But out of curiosity, I wanted to ask you something. Your Facebook account has more private information about you than your CV?". She said "No! But I realized that after I had sent you the CV."

I started working on her documents around 1 and it didn't take me long to figure out that she has achieved a lot in her life even though she's still a teenager. I was done with the editing by 5. I don't know whether she'll make it to the summer school or not, but my gut feeling can say one thing with surety, she is bound to succeed in life, and my gut feeling is always right. I just hope that her dream gets converted into reality because it will mean a lot to her.

About me, well, I will definitely keep you updated about my life as it is just because of you guys and your constant motivation that I have been able to take my writing to a professional level.
