Well…It was 3 months back, that I got a confirmation from the N.G.O. that I was confirmed for an internship of 1 month. I was really excited that along with my internship (where I am supposed to learn a lot), I get to explore a new city, that too the “Capital City”. Now when I reached Delhi, I was very cautious, don’t throw anything on the road, people may be decent, find a bin, even for a small chocolate wrapper. Well i know it’s good manners to throw wrappers in the bin, but unfortunately one rarely finds one in India. I was about to meet a friend (online friend) that day for the first time, and I was feeling nice being in Delhi. All alone, knew no one around, trying to find my way. God sent a person in the train who could guide me and save me from cheating in Delhi, so instead of paying 150, I was lucky enough to reach my PG at Rs. 50. After completing the formalities, Im off to meet my friend.
Well met her, her friends, went to Mocha and had a good time. Well that was the last time we met till date.
I had a difficult time even finding the N.G.O. Then finding buses that go from there to my PG. Then I later realised there was only 1 bus taking me that way, so there were times I ended up waiting for 1.5 hrs just to get a bus.
Felt like home when I met my seniors at my PG. it was a nice feeling that you know someone out here, someone to guide you, help you and most importantly show you places. So had a good time with them, showed me where can I get drinks and would end up watching movies at night with them.
Well could have made many good friends at work, but it never worked too well. Never had good (as in good friends) but just acquaitances. Well few of them were close, but in the end I never found some to be the right people to be with.
Internship is a good place, got to learn a bit, work on cases, research a lot and yes, I got to go to the High Court. Was lucky enough to work under some good lawyers, and others helping around, it’s all a learning experience at this stage. But I feel im tired, tired just after 2 weeks. Leave at 9am and come back at around 8pm. There is no time to even explore this city or sit in the metro. Saturdays which are supposed to be half days, and we are supposed to leave at 1-2pm, I end up in office sometimes till 6pm. Well I know after I graduate I may even have to work for 15-18 hours a day, but now…
Friends…. Well nothing much to talk about actually. Few that I can speak of, 1st would be Arunava from NLU-Jodhpur 5th year student. Got to learn a lot from him, about internships, moots and a lot of things. They do say maturity comes with age and experience, and he is almost at the verge of passing out and getting a good job. Got some valuable tips from him, and ya he is the only person I can hang out with in the PG.
Then I can say Mukesh my room mate. Very simple, never involved in anything, keeps to himself, and the best of all, his internet connection. That’s how I can write this now.
My Birthday: Well wasn’t a big bash like it always is out with friends, last 2 years are really memorable, which some friends reading this would agree, and we would never forget them. But this year it wasn’t anything Big. On 5th suprisingly my roommate decided to drink, so we got parathas, vodka for me, and beer for him. On 6th(my bday) I was with my senior Chetan Sir and Arunava and we got beer and tandoori chicken. So it wasn’t like what would happen every year when I was too drunk to even tell my name, but was fine and i enjoyed with new friends. Well I would tell more about my trip to Delhi after Im done with my internship and I am back home.
It may be a bit boring, but that is exactly how my life is out here. Anyway would be telling you’ll about it when I meet you’ll in college or when I meet you’ll.
Few good things that I can count, what I got out here, but many things which I did not like and I would be thankful for all the good things that happened to me. But ya….I am missing SOMEONE a lot out here, and missed her on my Birthday as well. The first birthday after we are together. Just waiting to go back and see the face again, and spend my one week in Bombay with her(before I leave for my college in Bhopal) as if it’s my last week alive and spend some quality time together.
