A different experience

Sitting in the classroom, listening to the long unending lectures, which made all of us sleep most of the times, chatting around, having fun, projects , assignments, presentations etc etc, these have been a part of one year now, having joined in for the MBA. But the difference came in with the opportunity to work in an organization as an internship program through our college for three months.

The initial start itself started up creating lot of stressful moments, as the project work could not start on time. After a delay of 15 days, it finally did. The ambience of the the organization was really liked, because it could be the coolest place to be within, than the outside burning hot climate. The people around and their work made me realize the life of the corporate world. The Culture got settled into me, within the smallest duration.

Though the project work started at a snail pace, it taught me various other things like how to interact with people, the mode of extracting information from learned and experienced members. The mantra that follows is, its not only the world place of hard work, but more of smart work. Innovative ideas are most welcome.

With the movement of time the project took its shape, facing many hurdles like meeting up the deadline and presentation of the work to setting up things as per the right format, it was'nt an easy task, but made it all possible with the help of a friend, who helped me at each stage.

This experience helped in giving an exposure to understand how the real work is actually done, meeting the required standards and the time. Now with the internship getting over, its time back to attend the final year of the college, with more learning sense and confidence.
