summertime......

got into bombay about 4 weeks ago for summer and my internship - my first ever job stint.
this place is hot, sticky, dirty and traveling is bloody time consuming... but it's my city and i love it alright :)

started off on my summers on the 3rd and the fact that its only now that i've gotten the time to update my blog is an indication of the way things are going. busy as hell. have no time for anything. its been four weeks since ive started reading a really interesting book and cant read more than 2 pages a day before i fall asleep of pure exhaustion. and add to that, one fourth of these four weeks have been spent being ill coz of a combination of heat, traveling and overexhaustion...
whoever said MBA was hard work, s/he was definitely talking about the internship part of it!

on another note, the first wedding of our batch at iim indore will be this sunday. which is how i came to attend a sangeet ceremony for the first time today. it was really nice. there was so much warmth and family feeling in everything taking place (knocking on wood here :) there were little dances that were put up by the family members right from the old aunties down to the little kids. and the groom and bride looked so happy to be getting married, it felt really nice being there :)

the first list of our fachchas is out and its pretty entertaining to read their mails and questions.. entertaining just coz it reminds me of the kind of doubts and worries i had before i got there; only to realize none of it mattered (i remember asking some of our seniors how many sarees to carry along and whether i could get frozen food with me.... sheesh! : ).... in a way it makes me feel old. :( cant believe one more year and ill be out of the place...
more unbelivable (atleast to me) is the fact that due to a very unfortunate combination of circumstances, i will be finding myself pretty jobless in my second year... not doing iris, not doing utsaha... for the first time in my life, im facing a year with no major extra curricular activities planned... feels really strange... :(
