Yes or No to Internship

Yesterday I was invited by one of mine close friend PP to write a post about mine internship experience which I had during this summers. Don’t worry guys I am not going to tell a cock and bull story .Internship word always had been very fantasizing for me and so as company. Yes of course like others, glamour of corporate life of software industry enticed me to do the internship in a company.

Finally I found myself sitting in the corporate office of Resistant Sis meeting with Mr. SK—my potential mentor. I had doubts in my mind about the project and work details but some where I was finding myself in comfortable zone as I was not alone in the internship. We had strength of 16 people from my college (Potential Entrepreneurs and Consultants: AKS , PP, Ayush, Kankariya ,Kaluri, Neelima) (Geek Coders : Sidharth S, Siddharh Ch.,Atul, Srikar,Mani,Tony,Vipin, Vaibhav,Vidya, Pallavi ). My first 15 days at Resistant consisted of getting all my accounts, passwords and access card straightened out. In the coming days, I was given my first project. I had to do some work on Open source. I was not familiar with the OS provided to me. It was a little overwhelming and frustrating having never used it.( Really I like to work on windows few clicks and your 90% work is done.) So I and mine partner “X” were little bothered and we went to our mentor. He was patient, understanding and knew that we should have some learning experience. He told us to do Googling. Really believe guys, when you are not in power Google comes to you for remedy. The whole project was done by the help of Google alone .Moreover mine partner X who carried out almost 99%work in the project started liking some chick in the company. He spent some wonderful time with her by hook or by crook.

I used to start every morning taking coffee (I don’t like tea) and reading jokes sent by Mr. “AKS” I am grateful to you dude well I was not alone who enjoyed the jokes forwarded by him but many of us did, solving Sudoku which I never able to complete then little work followed by lunch. The most frustrating policy of the company was not to browse social networking sites …. Yes you are right that is orkut and streaming sites.. WebSense sucks man! Well as you know all we cant live without these so we found alternatives for that :). My friend PP motivated me to explore more about monto’s short stories .As I had some inclination towards shayari and poetry from mine childhood. So I enjoyed that also. Luckily I got a chance to work with Kankariya and others in Games Testing. We faced lot of challenges but we never lost. It’s really cool to do :P.

Sometimes the babbling of mine female colleagues and frustrating sound of typing (keyboard) tak tak tik tak tak …… would have shown me the way to Agra. But some how I resisted.

I think I learned a lot from mine internship. Even at the zenith of completion of the project we really enjoyed the relaxed environment of the company (coffee, tea, lunch and snacks of course free of cost :) ).This internship was a nine day’s wonder for me.
