Paperboat- An Internship afloats










As a paper boat waits for the rains. I waited. For the sprinkles of rain would carve its way. So the boat travels and unravels treasures and adventures like gravels in rivers as it sways. I made my move soon after the knock from Wedding Asia. Excited. Google served as the ladder and served with history and mystery of the organisation with every step. Heart rate increased. Somehow I managed to assemble and decorate the article they demanded in a surprising way and delivered via e-mail train. Eyes on the clock and sun. Hurray! My framed article got shortlisted. Bookings at Indian Railways. The interview awaited and I was content with my mantra. " The world is new for me and so am I to it. Hence lets get to know each other simply." I repeated this on and on. At Shahpur Jat in New Delhi I knocked the door. This time Wedding Asia was waiting. Pause. I used my prevailing habit of looking into the eyes and being true. It helped me the speaking the answers she wanted. No distractions. I showed her my past works and future plans. A delightful conversation as we do in mornings with full energy and no fear. Nailed it. Sixty days at a new place. How will be the treatment? Two awkward days passed in knowing. "Please do not call me ma'am, we all are working and now you too." Mode of goodness and passion. I am happy here. Enthusiastically I geared up to meet the deadlines in a lively environment. Share more and learn in returns. My colleagues helped me and the exchange of ideas went on. Small celebrations brought big smiles.
