Doing Nothing...

Oh man, I had never thought I would be writing a blog while I am on my internship. Because all of the people, before whom I could hesitate to scribble this blog, are absent, cause thay all have left for a negotiation at Bangalore. Just 5 minutes back, I was chatting with shefali, and because she is writing a blog, I can say she has inspired me to write this blog.

Oh yes, on chatting, this chatting, is something, which I can never think of in this office, as I am working in Wipro, and also being a leading InfoTech group, they have a cutting edge in IT, they have blocked each possible way of communication. Gmail, Yahoomail, chats, everything. But fortunately, I have been friends with this system guy called Arshad, who told me how one can chat with this site, alongwith checking gmail and yahoomail both. Thanks to him. But, they are really good at blocking and have blocked each and every possible way to access orkut. So I have not orkutted for last 20 days..

Anyways.. yaar my new SIM has also not been activated for last one whole week, feels like I am the most oppressed soul in the world..

Chalo khair chhodo, this intern is still fun. They have a big big plant, with lots of prospects to learn and they have lots of issues to deal with, I have got full chemical masaala here, and trying to apply the whole crap I have been imbibing for the last 3 years. (They don’t know I am a dud.)

We are being treated like some very senior person, being addressed “sir” most of the people, and being paid full attention too, answered all the questions we ask, leaving every other task they would be doing, man this feels important. We have also been given a faithful “caretaker”, who hardly knows Hindi, same with English and as I know, we harldy know a word of “KannadA”, and I pass my eves teaching him Hindi words very intensively.

This place, is actually a suburb of Bangalore, called Tumkur, and is as UNdeveloped, as a city can be, and you have no place to visit within 3-4 hours, and because the office is 6 days working, so very far visit can also not be thought. Another good thing is, we are given a cozy accommodation from the company, and that place is, supposedly, the most “posh” area of Tumkur, and only means to time pass (except “teaching” Hindi to this caretaker) is the cable tv they have provided, (thanks to god!!), although the major number of channels on that TV is Kannada!!!

For the last 3 Sundays, we have been planning to visit some place, but 1st Sunday was rest Sunday, and last Sunday, the vice-president, Wipro CCLG visited to meet us specially, so that was also a cancellation. So last 20 days, we are just taking “rest” doing nothing but “ehsaan” on the company, and enjoying the “lazeez” food here…

Really internships are the best places to do “nothing”, especially when you get paid for this…!!! I hope, all of my batchmates would also be enjoying doing “nothing” ,wherever they are…
