Slice Of Life: ‘I want to fulfil my family’s wish to construct our own house’

After my parents got married, they came to Chennai and settled down here from Tirupati in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. Other than them, my family comprises a sister as well, and all of us stay in a rented house. I work as a clerk in a private company. We have been planning to construct our own house but due to financial constraints, we are still staying in a rented house. Though I am interested in films, I did not know what to study in order to get into the field. So I studied B Com in a private college without knowing about the scope of the subject. I did not have anybody to guide me about my future and hence, I am very confused about what to do in future. Due to lack of adequate qualification, I could not find other jobs when I went hunting for a job. Life in Chennai had been very difficult and challenging due to lack of opportunities. I wish I could get into the film field and earn more money so that we will be able to own a house in future. I am trying to fulfil my parents’ dreams and want to take all the responsibilities to construct our own house. I do not want to put the burden on my parents. I also want to help my sister to continue her studies. For all this, I have to first find a better job to support my family financially and then fulfil my parents wish before pursuing my passion.
