The
high quality of courses,
coupled with sheer diversity, is what makes Canadian colleges popular as
seats of higher learning among Indians, writes Usha Albuquerque after a
recent visit. Nazuk Jain has just
landed herself an internship with RIM, the prestigious company that
manufactures Blackberrys. Nazuk is a third year computer engineering
student from Chandigarh at Ryerson University, Toronto, where her good
school marks earned her a scholarship. But it was more than the
scholarship that attracted Nazuk to Canada.
 WRITE
right
I.M. Soni

you dream of doing the job
of a freelance writer? Do you visualise yourself mailing brilliant
articles and witty ‘middles’ that’ll adorn the pages of national
dailies and magazines? Do you often ‘see’ your byline and pat
yourself on the back for it? That’s natural. Every aspiring writer
does. There is nothing wrong in it except that this is the glamourous
side of writing. There is another side — the one that involves grind.
“The way to hell is paved with good intentions,” says the literary
dictator of the 18th century, Dr Samuel Johnson.
