And thus comes the end of seven weeks of wonderful experience at one of the most laid-back, accomodating office spaces. Maybe I am overshooting myself with the adjectives, maybe that's how it is. However, it is all new to me and I would not hesitate with the deserving accolades.
It began with a humdrum affair in the form of a technical interview on 23rd of April in the JC Bose Conference Room at the 3rd Floor of Tower A, DLF Building, New Town, home to the Bentley Systems, Kolkata office - my first foray into the corporate world. My first interview, first formals - father's oversized trousers, crisp Jon Miller shirts, ill-fitting shoes.
6th May was when I got the offer letter. And I joined on the 10th.
And then it was more of an extended comfort-zone with a handsome stipend and helpful resources at easy disposal.
Let me not delve into the technical aspect of my internship, which was of much help to me. But I am grateful for those many cups of cappuccino and second helpings of Chicken Masala at lunch. And those blank hours where I had Youtube to give me company and I would delightfully tuck in Sunayana's earphones and immerse myself into newfound post-rock appreciation; and I did complete the hot-cake 'Inferno' and Pamuk's 'My Name is Red' on Calibre.; and honed my TT serves and arbitrary debate-skills with Somsubhro; and then we all would join in Maaru-banters/ Howrah-jokes with Dia as well. A bit of career discussions, CAT prep talks from Metya, perennial 'matha dukh raha hai' + 'bhukh lagi hai' complaints from Agarwal and pleads to leave early everyday from Dia. And those occasional sumptuous treats from the colleagues.
The concern for and reception of a Summer Intern is extremely touching. The regular inquisitions whether we are feeling at home, and the respect to our ideas and opinions in the various conversations, fun at the TT table, unmindful of our habitual lateness and lapses. The ushering to join to company in future.
And among the things learnt, found, dealt with, over these days :
MicroStation and STAAD Foundation; remainder obtained by dividing 100 consecutive positive integers with 99; tracking down Sienna Brooks in Italy's inferno; resource files and resource id; Hayriye and Enishte Effendi; DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() and afx_msg; Burial On The Presidio Grounds; cartoons for Environment Day and Anti Child Labour campaign; Jimmy LaValle; Nullables and Blind Bartender's Problem; resizing of dialog boxes and Equal Area Axis passing through flange section; CRY event reporting and telephonic interviews; cat.wordpandit.com and feeling of much-is-left-to-be-done; techgig and gforg; Man of Steel and absurdity of 'fantasy only for children'; using the BS notepad for Write Club write-ups, Quiz note-downs and crush(!); Yndi Halda and brilliance of Mono; ICollection and corporate presentation delivery; A Looming Resonance and Imperatrix Mundi; fixation with Quora; the first tastes of collaborative work, corporate world; and the warmth of a group of very well-behaved people and a brilliant working atmosphere.
And the urge to start off my blog.
Which is intermingled with the alchemical touch of 'All Is Violent, All Is Bright'. Forever indebted.
And that farewell-gift. Thanks!
And that farewell-treat. Burp!
Ok, so what about a final cup of espresso and GoodDay cashew biscuits?
