Nw days in IT sector it hardly matters in which branch you completed your engg, so if you r planning to go in IT sector den dre is no issue which branch you choose yeh if you go for some core branch like mech, civil den dere arise matter of intrst nd lot of odr thngs.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
