Well.. Its been a long summer.. both figuratively and literally.. for one.. because the rain gods took time waking up.. and secondly because I was doing my summer internship at Chennai!
Not that its an inhospitable city.. not by any means.. but one takes a little time getting used to the means and ways of the city.. and 2 months is just too less time.. more so when you have to be in the market speaking to retailers/ dealers who refuse to understand a word of english/ hindi.. but like the CEO of the company said during my final presentation.. 'its just the way it works' (easy for him to say!)
But Summer internship was a fun experience.. getting to meet all the people from various colleges.. chasing deadlines that were at times deadlier than the ones we are used to during the curriculum at college.. working hard.. hardly working.. and pretending to work really hard times.. and at times pretending that the truck loads of work is a piece of cake for us.. making presentations for which the google god cannot really help you and then presenting the same to all the heads of departments of the company.. (did i mention the 2 and a half hour presentation?) But like I said.. a great experience at the end of it all...
And now that its over.. really want to get back to college.. guess you don't really miss somethings till you've been away long enough.. and this is definitely enough..
