The Summers - A farce or a reality & the fun....

Me being in Delhi and raising such doubts about 'summers' might raise questions from those new to this term.
'Summers' here is basically an internship required to be completed as a part of MBA course.
It is supposed to expose students to the real world of business.

Reality: Summers is
- A cheap source of good labour.
- Labour which wants to get exploited by excess work.
- Labour which shows more enthusiasm than employeed workforce.
Some never shown characteristics by regular workforce....

Yet - Some dont get work, some loads of work(clerical only), some get good work, some loads of good work....
A complete horizon....

With me towards the fag end of summers, do I feel that it served the purpose???
I would say, gain from summers would be the same for experienced guys and freshers.... unlike many who say its mainly for freshers.....
For freshers it a first initiation... best part is its the cheapest way to explore the business world.. without many things at stake.... and if at all they are at stake.. people expect u to make mistake.....
For oldies...... Welcome back!!! Helps u to get ur ego back in order :P

If u had no work : U learnt how to show that u did work.... and how to kill time within the confines of the hostel room
If u had loads of work: (clerical job) - Shows u the realities.... teaches u how to handle the situation....
If u had good work - Lucky u!!!! U learnt application.... But then thats it!!!..... Dont go overboard.....
If u had loads of good work - U learnt organizing in addition to application.....


This was THE GENERAL GYAN :D :D :D .....
Now lets see from my eyes......

Some funny moments:

When I set out for my summers.... some of my colleagues (yes in corporate jargon.... basically mere dost) ... told me that there will be good girls(as per some news)..... and hence loads of fun !!!!
What we finally had..... Gang of Boys.... :D ... with no female interns :( ....
But it yet again proved my point ..... :D
Fun is more widout girls :P
But yes I missed one part of training ;) .... flirting wid girls :P

When I set out for summers.... I had heard about a character from the other section (of my institute).....
Met that character...
Believe me.... Masti aa gayi .....
'There is a ............ in college'....
'Nayan tu toh aaj ......... ka turnover........'
such statements when there is pin drop silence, birthday parties are on...... take the fun element to a new level.....
Lotus temple..... Nehru place.... sant nagar ki galiyan.... these are some of the places.... where we all 4 of us gave best of the items......  and had loads of NSP.....

When I set out for summers... I never expected that... a reading of 15 mins can be used to make 6 presentations... kill 2 days.... and make 4 people busy :D
But finally I realised that what we talked .... what we presented made sense... it might just sheer luck or our intellect ;) ... that we could manage it in few mins.....
and.... again today.... we repeated history :D....

During one of our breaks... we visited Mochas.... I felt out of place there.....
Re-established my opinion.... BASICS ARE BASICS... THEY NEVER CHANGE....
Unless u want them to change :D
Also some other incidences with person from the other section... reemphasized the fact.....

Every human being has a limit....... CAR guy  proved it.. :D (someone from other section... who loves cars... so much that he can ditch his wife from them..... )
Me, vishnu, kutty were about to get killed... !!!!!
But, now its fun .... to make more fun of him .... on the same point :D :D
Yet another item from this CAR guy ....
Sunday night... 8 PM.... this guy comes to ma room & asks... 'yaar college computer lab khuli hogi... questionaire printout lena hain... phir CNG station jaunga'....... Me shocked..... not a position to even laugh..... He replied in one line...'yaar dopahar se jaa rahan hoon... bass thoda late ho gaya'.....

Love between two roomies... :D .... but they fight over stupid pen drive :D ......

One guy....who drives bike @ 70 KMPH..... says... 'yaar double seat chalaneko dar lagta hain'...

Room allotments.... kitne door kitne pass.....

Driving 9 kms on bike..... with a bursted petrol tank :D ......

Depositing cheque of internship ... and informing my parents......brother.... again reminding them when it got encashed...... finally my bro said... 'abey itna khush toh tu _________ ke paise milte the tab bhi nahi huan' (referring to my previous job)........'teri pehli salary pe bhi tune ghar pe phone nahi kiya tha :D '...
Kya kare...... tab paison ki aadat padi nahi thi... MBA mein woh chodni padi..... phir bade dino baad khud ke paise dekhe.... toh honga na :D .......

These are some of my sweet memories....... of HOT Summer......
