Have you taken a gap year after Class XII? Yes
what you have been doing through your gap year(s):
On approaching the o ce of a popular lm director in the city of Kochi, I was asked to audition for a role following which I got to
play a part in a production whose shoot was scheduled to begin in May 2018. During this time, I spent hours studying how the
editor ensured the right cut & created continuity, helped in foleying and partook in a lot of other processes that came together to
create one single output – a movie. I did have my share of fun & enjoyed being identi ed in malls & taken sel es with. On the
contrary, I realized that I did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed theatre; the character was broken at the source & sewn up
together into life at the editor’s table. Characters on stage never paused for a retake or spoke parts of a monologue in

interruptions – maybe I could consider this as a way to make money in a way that I would not enjoy but for now, I intend to focus
on learning more about the English language – styles, great works, the future of language itself & so on.

since xyz is a regional

prompt was on a
subject that I was not
very well acquainted
with, hence I was
unsure about the merit
of the points that I was
trying to make. I
thought it would be
wise to regulate the
trade-o between
eloquence and content

humility. The
experience of writing
that essay made me

Essay Details
This essay is a space for us to know and understand you better as a person.
Take us through your life’s journey as you have experienced it until now and how you envision it for your future. Use this space to
share your personal story, de ning moment(s), challenges, accomplishments, and key learnings.
I am as old as this new millennium is. My father who is currently a lyricist penning songs for Malayalam and Tamil movies had
been an accountant when I was born. My mother had just begun her work as a clerk at the State Public Commission then. Being
the son of a government o cial, I have never had to face the sort of di culties many of my fellow classmates faced. I realized
how much of a signi cant role this played out in my life the day that my classmate who has a physical disability similar to that of
mine(Spina Bi da)had to be rushed to the hospital because he had not been receiving treatment for a while – his father had lost
his job when the company decided to cut costs and therefore they could not a ord to provide for his treatment anymore. Ever
since, I have been conscious of my own privileges and have consequently made several changes in my personality and choices. I
have also tried to instill these values in my brother to whom I am like a father gure, I am older than him by nine years and our
relationship is unlike that between most siblings,still special.
Over these eighteen years, I have had the fortune of only facing problems that required a combination of rm resolve and a little
bit of personal sacri ce to make them disappear. With the exception of occasional episodes of blinding pain that I get due to my
condition, tragedies have been rare – I have learnt lessons but have not yet had to pay a huge price in exchange for them. The
two months my team and I had spent preparing for the production of the annual school drama had been hard on us as twelfth
graders – trying to get the balancing act of preparing su ciently well for the board examinations and executing a production with
the intention of raising the bar higher than where our seniors had it left o at right. I was assigned the task of writing the script
for the performance – my friends thought of it this way, my father was a lyricist so prose should come easily to me. I took this up

as a challenge, not letting them know that I was very uncomfortable with their kind of reasoning. The subject that I chose to write
on was the spate of political killings in college campuses of the neighboring district of Hapur. I had named the production ‘Purple
and Gold’ – the banner colors of the two prominent student-parties in most campuses across Kerala. Two weeks of writing, a
month and a half of rehearsals later, our production was ready to be staged. It had worked. We received overwhelming
responses from our teachers, non-teaching sta and the entire student body. The leading regional daily had covered the event
and had published it the following day in print. I recall the period of two months that preceded that day and the few days that
followed it with a sense of accomplishment and joy. It was a team e ort, I did not forget to pat myself on the back though.
My parents have allowed me to choose a subject and university of my own choice. I have decided to pursue my undergraduate
degree in English from an esteemed University. By doing this I know that my competence as a writer will greatly improve. I look
forward to an invigorating academic experience at Ashoka University if I am able to make it through the admissions process and i
I am unable to do so, I hope to nd a place in an institution that I would equally be delighted to be a part of.
Please use the space below to share additional information relevant to your application, which has not been captured anywhere
else in the form. This information can also include circumstances or situations that might have led to educational, cultural or
economic disadvantage. This is not a mandatory section but any/all information shared by you will aid in the assessment of your
application form.
I was born with a condition called Spina Bi da. Doctors had informed my family that I could not be cured of it, but, it could be
managed to a degree that it would not determine the person who I should grow up to become. I believe that I have been the
master of my own destiny till date, albeit the concern about the range of opportunities available to me I could excel in. As an
extension of this, I would like to say that in a world where people nd it hard to make a choice because there's just so much to
choose from, I live better. Although this may be the case, my physical disposition may be a little mentally distressing to the people
around me. I hope that there are provisions and committees that can help me and the people around me to learn equally at
Ashoka.
