With the rising cost of living, the cost of education and pursuing a career has also gone up manifolds.

Despite having higher education and spending truckloads of money in getting it, there is no guarantee of getting a high-paying job. Most youngsters have to start at the bottom of the pyramid only dreaming of earning back their investments in a short-span of time.

However, there are certain professions that require your skill sets more than they require your money and in return you can earn as much as you want based on your capabilities!

Let me share with you these 5 professions:

1) Writer

You might be wondering if writers were ever paid or if they are ever going to earn! The pleasant fact is that with evolving economy, the demand for good writers is also increasing, especially in the TV sector where payments are better than reasonable. So you just need to love writing and be ready to learn the craft by assisting someone. If you’re good, you can fly solo and fly high!

Bollywood or TV industry is not only about glamorous actresses ruling the charts.

With the growth in the industry, more and more talented individuals are required to run the show and bring in their talented creative energies to make beautiful cinema and TV shows. Hence, the requirement for girls is increasing day by day not only in front of the camera, but behind it as well.

Let’s share with you the top 5 Jobs In Bollywood that girls can pursue, which will get them not only good money, but lot of respect as well.

1) Editor

This might sound bit difficult and technical, but in reality many women are making their mark in this male-dominated field when it comes to film editing. A course from FTII can help you gain the basic knowledge and even an entry in a good production house as an assistant to learn the ropes of the trade.

2) Writer

TV is offering loads of work to talented writers who are ready to work harder than their wildest imagination. In return, you can expect to earn hell lot of money, not to mention the respect that writers command unlike earlier days when writers used to be treated like an unwanted baggage!

3) Creative Head

A TV show requires someone who can co-ordinate different departments like scripting, production, designing, logistics, casting etc. Women are known to be expert at multitasking and that’s the reason we see so many young girls working as creative heads in best of the production houses. Of course, one has to work their way up the ladder starting from scratch, but it is a respectable, well-paying, but a very hectic job profile! Who said hectic is not fun, right?

4) Executive Producer (EP)

It is a job similar to creative head, but the essence lies in executing the plans of the producer in the field (read on the set). One can be a freelance EP or join a production house on a salary basis. Either ways, one need to know the basic of film-TV show making and that can only be learnt through practical experience. If you have done some film-making course, it might help, otherwise, assisting an experienced hand can always go a long way to help you make your career.

5) Dress Designer/Makeup Artist

Who better than women to guide and decide your look in a show? That’s why female dress designers are highly in demand while the make-up department that was earlier dominated by only men is now opening its doors for more and more women!

This is a good time to be a part of glamour world even without being an actress. If you have talent and skill set, you can make your mark in this industry without having to let go of your dignity or respect!

Yes it just might happen… this time, for real!

Taslima Nasreen might just succumb to an attack on her by a Bangladeshi group of extremists.

Taslima Nasreen, one of the world’s most outspoken authors on topics like feminism, gender bias and anti-religious criticism is again under the ire of the Muslim community. The Bangladeshi author is now struggling to keep her life safe in spite of being targeted by several pro-Muslim groups who are hell-bent on removing all her work from the public’s reach.

Taslima Nasreen

She is one of the few authors like Salman Rushdie who are actually hated for their literary work especially since she writes on topics that question humanity, its social dogma and why women are objectified by men for sheer carnal pleasure.

Life History

Thanks to her fiery and outspoken tone, she had been banished from her home country, Bangladesh in 1994 and took asylum in the West like USA and European countries.

Even then, she published such works to register her angst against this society which treats women like garbage and always questioned the mentality of men – ‘they think with their penis and that a woman is simply an object for sex, nothing else more’, that’s what she always highlights.

She has taken shelter in India for some time hoping to stay as close as possible to her alma mater. However, in India too, she faced immense hate from all factions of the society who did not believe in what she writes and deemed her work devilish and culpable to society. Many of her books were burnt and she had to flee from Kolkata towards Delhi in order to protect her life. She even faces a mild ban on the sale of her books in West Bengal.

Battling for her life is one constant struggle in the life of Taslima, an author who has used the ‘power of the pen’ to question society, its abhorrent rules and why this society is so disrespectful and thankless to the contribution of women in this world.

She was put on house arrest in Delhi for some time. She even hoped for an Indian Citizenship but that was never granted, after all India does not want communal riots over literary work! She currently lives in India on a Swedish passport.

Death Threats

Taslima has faced innumerable threats from countless groups. But, this one is more terrifying since it is happening in front of everyone’s eyes – social media threats!

A Bangladeshi terror group called Ansarullah Bangla Team is now planning to travel to New Delhi (where she currently resides) and plan to kill her after entering West Bengal from the east border of India-Bangladesh.

Ansarullah Bangla Team

Apparently, the group follows the ideologies of Anwar Al-Awlaki, a Yemeni al-Qaeda activist who was recently involved in the bloody lynching of America-based Indian writer Avijit Roy and microsite-blogger Washiqur Rahman this previous month for severely criticising Islam and its ideologies.

Are These Threats Credible?

Yes! This threat is grave and serious! The members of this team are brazen and vile! They post their hate messages online just before they attack and kill their victim. Before killing Avijit and Washiqur, they used the same formula of using radicalism and inciting fear within the writer’s mind.

However, Taslima has told the media, “It is scary. But as long as I live, I will not be silenced,”

Even intelligence sources from India and Bangladesh are working hard to protect her life, maybe she might be sent to some other country. Since Washiqur was attacked merely because he wished Taslima on her recent birthday and posted the super-controversial Charlie Hebdo pictures defaming Islam on his Facebook timeline.

Recently, Taslima’s Facebook page is getting 90% death threats and most of them are scary and seem legible!

Some posts read like this:

“Get ready for the afterlife,” one person posted.

“See you in hell,” wrote another.

Recently, the killers of Washiqur confessed that they are infiltrating into India and are planning to her assassinate her.

The ruling party of West Bengal, TMC had denied to comment since she is currently under the Central Government’s protection.

Taslima is seeking a meeting with Indian PM Narendra Modi for some urgent discussion regarding her life’s safety and an Indian citizenship for herself, but no statement has been released on it by the PMO.

We just hope that the extremists come to their senses and stop all this madness. We at Youngisthan are also writers and we know that writing fiery blogs does not mean a direct threat to life. Dear readers, please be sane and exercise your discretion.
