I am doing this course . . .

Currently I am doing an acting course at the IMS Centre for Communication Studies, Bhubaneswar. The course is being offered in collaboration with Star Plus TV channel, Orissa Television (OTV), and Dharitri, the Oriya newspaper.

These are news items that appeared in Dharitri (on May 11 and 15, 2008), reporting on the inauguration of the course. The underlined part quotes me as saying, "I have not come here to become a hero overnight. I only have a strong desire to learn. I hope to grow as a complete artist with the inputs received from the course."

As you can see, my expression "complete artist" (poornaanga kalaakaara) has been used in the title of one of the news reports. Wow!
