Internships Ahoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Internships !!!!!!! The whole concept is a pretty nice one actually.

Organisations employ people who they expect will work for them for 2 months at a break neck speed and do everything for them that the company hasn’t been able to do for the last 2 and half years.

Interns for their part relax , take their time, roam around, keep sipping coffee non stop and finally manage to churn up a report which actually includes everything that the company has not been doing all this while.

Day 1 in office for an intern and he’ll be all dressed up and suited up

For a guy it’ll be all formals plus a touch of the tie. Perfect Gentleman he will be

For my internship , I worked in an office which had nice jovial people all around. All genuine and ever ready to help. Ready to share their food. Chat up with you.

Let me start off by introducing the bay i used to sit in:

It had a total of 6 people including me

The gaming techie, The sweet aunty with all the reading material, The happily married chap with the tiffin box, The i need your SIM card chap, The new joinee lady and yours truly (me)

The gaming techie was one who used to love to talk about gaming consoles and he could also crack Playstations to make them any cd friendly….. “Hi, have you seen the new Doom !!!!!! ??????? “

Whats a new doom ????? When was the old one ????

Aunty used to keep browsing papers of all kinds and her morning line would be ” Good Morning Shrey !!!!! Get your coffee and we’ll discuss the headlines “

The happily married chap with the tiffin’ ” Hi, I wonder what has my wife packed in lunch for me”

I used to wonder too………

The I need your SIM chap had no greetings ” Can u hand over your SIM card to me when you leave the city. You see i don’t want to buy one and spend unnecessary money” He used to repeat this through out the day and in the evening his finishing touch would be ” You see………I am not forcing you to hand over your SIM but i thought that it might be of good use if you could pass it on…… But you see i’m not forcing you”

The new joinee lady was the most confused one i’d ever seen…… She kept on staring at what others did and at what speed….. Then when it was office closing time, she would have her bouts of panic attacks and start working at a neck break speed…. and invariably she worked for longer hours…everyday.

Pretty nice set of people they were………always eveready with food n stuff………………………………………………..

Mr. Happily married chap with the tiffin box used to be late ….I guess it was the packing of tiffin by his wife which used to make him a bit late……..but who is complaining when you are getting great food……

He had a fight one fine day with his wife…..normal everyday couple fight and the man was fuming when he reached office….” What a lady!!!!!!!!!!! Was angry cause i forgot to get the movie dvd yesterday….This is not done…U tell me….What a worthless movie it is…it has a hero who looks like the heroines sister…long hairs and ear ring. What is the world coming to !!!!!!!!! “

I had no answers…..as a matter of fact it was unclear whether i had to comment on the movie/the hero/the world/the ear ring and hair or the lady herself…to be on the safer side i usually kept quiet.

“We were fighting like cats and dogs”, he continued “…and then i finally asked her to pack my tiffin in ten minutes ….. She should understand who the boss is in here”

Wow !!!!!!! What a man !!!!!!!!!!! He manages to scold his wife !!!!!!!!! Thats real guts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This admiration used to last till the lunch time only when the man would open his tiffin and would be shocked into silence on finding empty boxes…….. Poor thing……..

Interns tend to show others that they are working very hard…… they keep sitting poring into books and the net…late for lunch…late for tea…late for tiffin….late for everything…. being late as an intern is a sign that you are working hard….

I too was late one evening…i submitted my report and was waiting for my reporting officers comment… It was 4 when i submitted my report and my reporting officer said that he’ll get back to me by 5….it was 6 soon…the office was half empty…..6:30…almost nil office but my boss is still there……7:00 only me and my boss remained…I was feeling proud of myself…7:15 and the office was empty..My RO had disappeared like a mouse no noise no sound and he was gone….I was angry….royally pissed off.

All grumpy i got up and walked to the office main door and tugged hard ………….LOCKED

It was locked……They had locked me in….. What a stupid ^$%^%$ that guard is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried everything….. a few which i can tell like…i chatted with my buddies and  my better half telling them about my plight…The stupid buddies kept sending me smileys on chat….which made me think that either they are having fun at my expense/ they are nuts / they too are locked in their offices and the idiots are laughing cause we are all in a similar situation… I also tried yelling and jumping up and down and the rest of the things i did can be discussed in personal.

A few seconds later a mess boy came in live saver…..he opened the gate and just as i was about to rush out of that dreaded gate he offered me food….

“Sir….idli and coffee !! Have some !!” That was tempting…food is always tempting for the poor little human brain…. I sat eating and chatting with my saviour for the evening…finally when we were done the mess boy walked upto the glass door…..made a strange face and started walking in the opposite direction…… For a second i thought he was going to get something….but the chap kept walking.

“SIR I FORGOT THE KEYS OUTSIDE AND THE DOOR IS AN AUTOMATIC LOCK ONE. Call your fiance and talk to her but dont be angry on me please……”

Crime they say is committed when a human is in a very vunerable position…… I was in one.

Patience they say is virtue…… GOD SAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEE MMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Finally two chairs were pulled up to the glass door and both of us kept  waiting for my second “Real” saviour of the evening…… he came in the form of the building guard to lock the building…… Many monkey gestures later…he noticed us ….. opened the door.

“Its already late !!!!!!!!!! How were u guys locked in ????????? Anyways…would you like to have dinner ?????”

As i say food is always tempting to the human mind…….

Next day morning the first thing on arrival was a huge and grand “Well done”

“Wow..he must have liked the report” I thought

“The guard told me that you kept working till 9 in the night yesterday….thats what sincerety is all about . Keep it up . You are setting an example for us”

“Ummmmm !!!!!!! Ohhhhhh Okkkk”

“Great job”

Internships are funny… As i said.

Interns do great work and they have more time to write blogs….Employees are a bit lazy.

Time to become fulltime interns again guys….. Jobs are good….need to work more and learn more…

An Internship for lifetime Ahoy !!!!!!!!!!!
