Internship Saga - Part 1

Having just completed my semester examination I was relaxing in the week long vacation before the Internship at the Corporate.Inc. I was excited to work for the Corporate but I had no clue what the profile was. I had applied as a computer engineering student and hoped that I would be offered a profile that would match my interests. After a week’s vacation, the joining day came.

The early rays of the sun entered my room as I woke up. I got ready and was eager to go out and experience the corporate life. How the corporates are structured? How they worked? What’s the atmosphere like? With lot on my mind and few in it I hopped in the car as my Dad working for the same Corporate was going to drop me. I waved my goodbye to Mom and Sid. Dad revved up the accelerator of the car as we began our journey.

I reached the campus before the reporting time. Few of my friends where waiting outside the gate, I waved them and asked them to hop in. Dad helped us with the visitor pass, that would be our Id for the day and we were on our way to experience the Corporate culture for the first time in our life. Some of my classmates had already reached and where waiting outside the office. After half an hour’s wait we were called in by Ms. Arya. “Welcome to Corporate.Inc I am Arya.” She said as she took us into the Board Room.

“Welcome Interns” read the solitary white board in the room. It had a big table in the centre of it surrounded by many a chairs. Through the glass windows we could see the entire campus of Corporate.Inc. “Please be seated here, I would be back after making few arrangements.” Arya said. She was no more than twenty two, recently graduated out of the college, she worked in the management department.

Our patience was being tested as we sat in the Board Room with nothing much to do. “I think we should get to work on some real world project.” Vaishak said. “I feel the same, brother.” I said. The door opened suddenly and few employees entered the room. “Good Morning Interns.” The guy said.
“Good Afternoon.” We replied as it was already twelve something. “We are the Avengers, Welcome Aboard. I am Dev Kumar.” The guy said. “I am Prachi, I would take you through the tour of the department.” Prachi said. “We are a team of recently passed out Engineering graduates, we work on The Corporate Products, find issues in them and explore product development.” Arya Said.

“This is Banner’s Research Room, here we find issues in different Corporate Products. All our ideas come out of the The Stark Tower.” Arya said pointing to the room. “We explore App development in the Atlantis Labs, this is the Cafeteria and the Carefree Zone we play table tennis over here.” She said. “This is the overview of Avengers you will understand more about it once you start working in the department. Until then you can have your lunch. We will meet at three in the afternoon.” Dev Kumar said. The work environment seemed to be chilled out and vibes were cool for the  Corporate.Inc. “This must be fun. I would like it in here.” I thought as we went into the canteen.

The Mountain

Siddhartha was born in the month of monsoon, in a small sleepy hamlet called Thione. He was a cute and a healthy boy born to a decent couple. The father was a craftsman and mother was teacher in the town school. They lived in their cottage by the green mountains of Thione. There universe was always peaceful and happy. Siddhartha grew up in an environment that was filled with love and care. He was an efficient learner and was quickly taking his baby steps. The first word he uttered was “Maa..” that left tears of lasting joy in his mother’s eyes. He would play for hours with his toys and would then have his lunch made by his mother. The courtyard in the house had a swing. A baby Siddhartha would swing like a pendulum sitting over it. One day his gaze fell on the green mountains behind their cottage. “Maa, what’s there in the green mountains? For how long they have been sitting there still?” He asked with an unmatched curiosity. “They have been there since a very long, long...

Two Earthen Pots

As I sit beside the balcony, I see two earthen pots one besides the other, light brown, freckled and same, but still there lies a difference none the less. There was a blossoming flower once, with its ripening petals of red, being watered daily it grew slowly, maturing into a mesmerising rose. But now in the earthen pot lies dried leaves, shrive l led petals, and lifeless roots, all turned into the dust, with one cruel swipe of death. Dancing to the tunes of wind, a sapling grows in the other earthen pot, watered with care and love, life finds its way out through the mud. Life and death is a cycle, one takes place after another, the old becomes one with the sands of time, and the new blossoms with eternity.

Why does a caged bird sing?

A bird beautiful and full of grace flies over the blue sky spreading its wings along the wind l etting it take to far away lands fly ing through the trees there is a , a sudden screech and a loud noise, trapped in the net the bird makes a failed try. Alas! Its too late for all that. Gazing past the window, the bird looks beyond the trees, sings about mountains and fields that are locked beyond. I heard the bird sing, with a melancholy in his voice, for him the freedom is so near yet so far and understood why does the caged bird sings?
