DAY 2

Tired of earlier day traveling, I thought preferring Indian Railways over DTC would be a better idea. But contrary to my expectations, it took me less time to travel and more time in waiting for the train. A scene at the railway station reminded me of my childhood assignments where we were supposed to write essays and that picture composition on "A Scene at the Railway Station".
I guess it to be my first self journey on Local train from which another 25,000 passengers travels throughout the day.Its tiresome experience due to lack of seats just similar to Delhi Metro. My reporting time was 4 and I managed to be there by 4:15.
Well Day 2 left me with all praises for the senior author sitting next to me whose 700 words story got published which he wrote and edited in front of me.
This is what internship all about.
Getting a touch of practical work in the required industry, seeing the professionals at work and further learning from them.
I guess myself to be more excited than him while looking at the newspaper early morning. It gives a really proud feeling watching the process of newspaper making right from the scratch till designing and further telling the pre-formation story to your parents with full excitement and blah blah blah...
The day was late even today while waiting for the train to home and then it was all falling away on the bed. Also the irony for the day was seeing newspaper being made on one hand and people using it as mat while sitting on the floor of the local on the other hand. Its quite irritating thing. This is not what newspapers are made for. They are supposed to be read and must not used or thrown away as for the bye products unless its being recycled and properly utilized.Its not just a paper but contains the efforts of many right from making it to printing it and further distributing it.

Well there are more days and more new stories to come..
Keep Reading :)
Over and out!

DAY 1

It was Monday,(1st of July) first day of the week and the month in the calendar, I woke up at 6 a.m in the morning with a similar feeling I had on my first day to college and maybe school (I don't remember, guess I was too small).

My first office day in the internship period ended up at 8:30.The day unfolds in a very amazing manner.I was asked to report at 10 in the morning, but this is India time hardly matters on the way with traffic (senseless excuse).I left home at 9 willing to reach at a place where I would be going for the first time and that too in an hour(stupidity).But nevertheless, I manged to make it at 10:30 and was still not late for the work. Then I met HR manager who handed me my Internship letter and introduced me with all the official requirements for the job. Then I came to know that I had been kept for the Sports Department which kicks off at 4 in the evening. So, I had no option left other than waiting for the long 5 hours.

Premises of the Organisation was mesmerizing and just aesthetic and not to forget was the Cafeteria with good interiors and delicious food at an affordable price. So, I found my way to library to pass my time. I sat over there as a hungry reader ready to absorb all that I read. So I started with the newspapers then switched over to news magazines then 'Lonely Planet Magazine' and finally to the Encyclopedia of 'World Cinema'.
In all the things I read, Lonely Planet was something very nice to look at, travel and photography is exciting for me and it kept me occupied for hours. Even the Encyclopedia of World Cinema was nice with the things where it started, the off-beat brainchild of  Cinema across the World and India. While reading, I prepared my watch list with likes of Charlie Chaplin, Satyajit Ray and Steven Spielberg and many others.It was a complete grind of the Cinematic things, I wasn't able to read the whole ( it was so long ) else I would have to drop the idea of internship and read that book alone.

In between the reading schedule, I kept taking breaks to feed my hungry stomach so I fed on some yummy foods along with my lunch.The wait was over then and the clock ticked to 3:30. I went upstairs and met the Senior Editor and I was accompanied by fellow Intern. The Editor made us introduced us to our job profile and the work that would be sanctioned to us. The work atmosphere was just so pleasant. I kept reading the E-newspapers online along with facebooking and observing people at work.Its like sharing cabin with another 20-25 Sports Enthusiastic people who breath, live and enjoy sports along with watching it live on the 52 inch LED screen all day.

At the end of the day, Sports for me was something that I always skipped off while reading a newspaper and now I see the sports pages being produced in front of me.Its exciting and too quick to be produced.

Its alright, I will learn :)

Over and out!
