CLMN | Acting the reality

10/12/2013

Ever since my childhood I wanted to be an actress. I acted in numerous plays and acts in school and college. In all such acts I played an imaginary character, or at least a character that wasn’t me. I knew that’s the real challenge for an actress - to enact a role different from herself.

But this week, I had a different experience all together. I acted in a role of an International Innovation Science master student, studying at TU/e. There was a shoot for the making of a video on our graduate programme and I took part in there.

I felt almost like a movie star to give an interview in front of the camera, pose at certain angles and to enact in a scene of lively study environment. All of these were dedicated to truly represent our university and the master course in front of the future students and encourage them to apply.

Even without facing the lights and the camera, I have been doing the same job as a TU/e ambassador this year. This time as I went back to Jadavpur University, India - I shared with students my satisfaction of being a part of TU/e, and how Innovation Sciences offer a wonderful course package both for future research aspirants and professionals.

Now, if you think that was just acting - you are thoroughly mistaken. Unlike most of my past experiences of acting in a role for a play, this time, I meant what I said!
