The canteen was filled with employees from all the floors. But the canteen seemed to be a chilled out place with a lot of delicacies to try. I ordered a Mysore Masala Dosa. The chutney was tangy and sambhar was lip smacking. I gorged onto the dosa in no time as I was hungry. We came back to the Board Room and were waiting for Arya. “How was your lunch guys? Arya asked as she came in the Board room. “It was good.” We said in unison. The rest of the day was spent knowing about the work and various food outlets in the Corporate.Inc.
It was Monday a fresh day of a new week. I was pumped up to start my work and get on with the issue raising stuff. But we had to wait until afternoon before the things streamlined. Waiting in the Board room we were passing our time reading books and watching the world outside the glass panes. Then suddenly in a moment’s time, one of the Corporate’s Sirs came in the Board room. “Good Afternoon, I am Nelson Marcus, the manager at the Corporate.Inc.” The man said. “Good Afternoon Sir.” We said in unison. “Today is the first day of your internship, make good use of the time you spend here. Create connections, understand the way a corporate works and enjoy your Internship.” Nelson sir said.
“Along with raising issues, you should work in the Atlantis Lab and work on real-world projects. You can choose Android or Web development. You will be working along with our employees, they will mentor you along your way. I wish you all the best. Happy Coding.” Sir said. “The Android and the Web teams will showcase a power point presentation to you all. Then you can choose one of them.” Arya said. We had lunch for the day and came back to the board room.
The Android and the web teams presented us with their corresponding presentations. I chose android development. We were given an elaborate schedule to work in various departments throughout the internship. For the next three days I was working in the SGX department it was connectivity and internet department. It turned the ordinary TV into a smart one and rendered high-quality pictures. We had to find issues in this particular department. “To find an issue you have to think like a detective,” Suyash said our mentor at SGX. We took the TV’s remote and put our thinking caps on. “I have found an issue, “There is a bug in the User Interaction button of the app," I said ecstatically.
In the first half, I raised a few issues, but it was the second half that was the challenge. I had to develop apps in Android. I had never studied Android before this and largely I was a novice in this domain. “How many of you have never written a single line of code in Java?” Chirag our mentor asked. Mine was the first hand to raise. “No issue I will explain you the bits and you can carry on from there,” Chirag said. The first app I created was a simple calculator. Chirag and the other mentors helped me throughout the week as I got hang of the basics of Android and built a simple calculator. That day the supper tasted even better as I created my first android app. I thought there is hope plenty of it as I sat in the train going back home.
