Dear Ilu, to become writer, your story telling ability, narrative power and keen observation traits will be under the focus. How good are you in these traits would be known only when someone decide to publish your work and subsequent response. Prudence demand that you pursue writing as hobby while engaging yourself in full time profession. You got a good employer in TCS and after MBA also, you will get similar companies. Therefore, my advice would be to Join TCS, pursue your hobby of writing and in appropriate moment, try to publish your work. By that time you would be sure of your way, whether to be a full time writer or to be a software developer.

Astronomy, aeronautics, astronaut and aerospace ; all are different field. Again these fields are divided in science and technology. In science, you carry out research and studies and in technology, the scientific theory is implemented by actual product development.
To become astronaut, one has to be a scientist cum pilot. For aeronautical engineering, one can do engineering in electronics, electrical, mechanical, instrumentation or computer science and later, get trained by undergoing maintenance course at the organizations like Air Force or aircraft manufacturer's MRO.
In India very few colleges like IIT-Kanpur offer aeronautical engineering course. By doing this specialized course, one would restrict his/her career therefore, it is advisable to do engineering in any chosen branch and then opt for career in aviation.

Hi Manoj,
There are various courses available in the market today for a person in the field of Accountancy, Commerce, Finance etc. As rightly pointed out by Nikhlesh & Surya, here in above, you got to decide if you'd like to just go ahead with a B.Com qualification for the time being (as pointed out by Nikhlesh) or take up other career oriented certifications (as pointed out by Surya).
I'd also like to add courses in: -
1) Accountancy like "Certified Industrial Accountant - Offered by the Institute of Computer Accountants" (Institute of Career Accountants even guarantees a job for those successfully clearing the course) &
2) Banking like "Diploma in Banking & Finance - Offered by the Indian Institute of Banking & Finance" (This course is well received across the Banking sector)
as some of the other career alternatives available with you (other than those mentioned above by Nikhlesh & Surya).
Before you jump into & decide to take up any professional / certification courses, ask yourself the following questions: -
a) Would I be able to manage the new course along with my existing commitments (read: - B.Com)
b) Would I be able to burn the midnight oil, if required
c) Do I've the necessary aptitude & inclination towards the stream in which I'd like to pursue my career in.
If you get a huge "YES" to all the questions listed above then there is no dearth of qualifications available in this field.
All the Best.
