My First Blog!!
OK..here it is...i haven't been much of a blogger..ever..so well given various inputs i started it....and well of course there is the name of my blog.....had to really really search a lot for the 'right' name.
i am going to start by documenting today. Which was interesting since what i did today is stuff for Reality shows or at least i thought so..well i was wrong...... here's why i think that maybe its not that tough as it looks..though i am not saying its easy..its not..
We had been given an assignment.We had to go out of our institute, find a JOB,for a day, get paid and then continue on to the next part of our assignment.. we were given a fairly good location, the retail hub of pune- Laxmi Road. so we went. but no money to be used for transportation to get there. and its a good 5-6 Km from the institute. we were divided up in pairs.One Guy and one Girl.. me and my Friend walked a good 2.5 km before we even got a lift..that to part of the way..again we walked.. Then we started going into shops and explaining what we were doing..that we wanted a job for on day.5 hours actually..since when we finally did get a job..it was 12. so we were behind the counter.. I was billing and my friend was cashing.. the owner actually taught us the process and stood there every time a customer came. Even the girls working there were really helpful and very friendly..they spoke to us and were interested in this very interesting assignment that we had.. The place was not a mall. But it was so organised that it surprised me.. every customer that came bought something..and there were so many customers!! on a weekday afternoon too. But it was fun. we finished at 5. then we started out for reaching our next destination, Parvati.. that too is another 3 km. so we walked even more! then we climbed the hill.that too when i was in a saree!!
when we finally finished there, i had to find an internet source and just write this!!! so that was my next search..................and i got it. so now u get to read it... but i just realised that blogging is fun..not all the hype that it has....
so now something new is going to be documented every time on my blog!!
tc!
PS: i would have uploaded the pics but there is something up with the internet. So i am going to have to upload them the next time.
