Internship Saga - Part 6

I had entered into a happy routine of raising issues, development and amazing lunches with Samyukta and Vaidehi. We explored the corporate on the cycle. Finding cafe’s, eateries and Restaurants. One day we had a Sizzler, the other day pizza and pasta. “It seems like a food testing internship.” I said. “Yes after having amazing food we can start a food blog.” Samyukta said.

We were waiting for the shuttle that takes us to the station. “I don’t like this travelling part of the internship.” Vaidehi said. “You come from a far off place.” I said. “I will be chilled out like you once I start living with my cousin in Thane.” She said. Samyukta was not around and had already left for her home. “Do you find a place to sit in the bus?” I asked. “Sometimes there is’nt but many a times I get a window seat.” She said.

We came to the bus station in Thane and where waiting for the Vasai bound bus. “Hey look there is a  bus over there.” Vaidehi said. We got into the bus but it was crowded and filled with passengers upto the brim. “I will go in this bus.” Vaidehi said. “No don’t go in this bus there is no place to sit. Let’s get down.” I said. We came back down and where waiting for another bus to come. “It helps you to have someone with you. I would have gone in that bus otherwise. I would have traveled all the way to Vasai standing amidst vegetable seller.” Vaidehi said. “It helps you to take decisions more efficiently.” I said.

Meanwhile the bus came and Vaidehi got onto the bus and got a window seat this time. I waved my good bye to her. ‘I helped her and that made her day, is’nt that cool,’ I thought to myself. It started drizzling as I went home. Next day at the internship. “You will have to select a project as last ten days are left.”Spruha said. “You can select from the Newspaper Application or make your own application.” Ajinkya said. “What are going to make Sanket?”Spruha asked. “I haven’t decided yet completely but I would make a 2D game.” I said. I had no clue how to make a game in android. I only had vague details about Unity Game development.

I searched about different game engines over the internet. But each one required me to code the logic of the game. I was searching for a Game engine that let’s me build the environment of the game and doesn’t require much of coding. I found a perfect match for my requirements in Gamers 5. Its an open source game engine that let’s you drag and drop the assets and form the logic accordingly. It comes with a built in physics engine. I built a 2D tank shooter game in the coming few days.

We entered the last week of the internship. We had to present our work on the last day of the internship. I had created a game but it was basic and alongwith it I had build a few more apps. I had no clue what else I can build in a few days time. I searched over the internet for ideas I could find to build a project. I decided not to make a big project but small meaningful applications. But the big question was what would be those small applications?

Newton: A Perspective

A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy’s shoulders to let him know the world hadn’t ended.                     -Batman, The Dark Knight Rises Newton is a story that resonates with this quote. Its a story of a common man who sets on a mission to conduct fair elections in Konar, Chattisgarh amidst resistance from maoists and naxalites. Pairing up with corrupt government officials and promising yet indifferent co-workers, honesty and perseverance are Newton’s best allies. With Cynicism and scepticism ruling the day and a vote count as meagre as seventy six. Newton quickly realises that he has to get things in order. He tries to educate the oppressed villagers about election who have already given up on the government, but is shoved aside by the security head who says voting machine is a toy and election is a lottery. “ Great work takes time, even this forest took years to grow.” He is rem

Internship Saga - Part 2

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 ma

A walk in the Yeoor

I woke up, sitting on my bed wrapped in my sheets. The floor was too cold. Taking a cold shower got me up and running. Outside it was still dark, a bark of the dog and the hustle of the milkman enlivened the silence of the early hours of the morning. I was rubbing my hands vigorously to keep them warm. I walked steadily towards Yeoor hills. It is a range of pristine mountains that is spread across Thane and runs up towards Borivali. It has been a hub for fitness enthusiasts, nature buffs and trekkers since a long time. I have been regularly jogging the Yeoor Hills since the first grade. I still remember my first visit to Yeoor, I had joined a badminton training camp. The coach there would take us to jog over the roads of Yeoor. As a kid, I was excited to reach the summit as soon as possible. It was a great feeling jogging across the trees on the asphalt road that led us up top. Over the years the road has remained the same but I have found many routes through the woods that lead us
