Is it Intern or Bonded labor..??

Well it’s been more than one month since I joined Selco Labs as an intern. Now let me tell you what all the things I am doing here.

My project is on dryer. Well it’s not hair dryer of course. Its fruit and/or vegetable dryer. Don’t ask me if it’s really necessary to have a dryer to dry those silly veggies of fruits. I don’t know. I never asked that question to myself. Don’t confuse me now; I am supposed to finish my intern in next few weeks.  I am just going with the flow like a conventional IITian.

The designing part was really simple. Sitting peacefully in front of lap with free wireless net connection (with decent speed) and of course wasting time in every possible way. Whenever my guide was coming near to me, I used to open up new “Google Sketch Up” window and started drawing some stupid lines. But my guide never bothered about those stupid lines. Even he knew that I was pretending to be workaholic. But he didn’t say me a thing, because even he is an IIT(M)ian. IITian really rocks. :P

Unfortunately I have finished designing and somehow fabricated it. I felt as if I conquered the entire world. But my guide didn’t think the same though he was an IITian. He asked me to “test and analyse” the dryer which really pissed me off.

C’mon man...Don’t expect interns to do work..They hardly stay for 6 weeks, then how could you expect them to solve a problem of your company?? Get practical man. Now don’t force much work on them..I felt like shouting. “Fuck..What did you do when you were doing intern..?? Interns need a certi..not knowledge”. But as usually I could not yell on his face. So I decided to test it for time being.

So I started working physically this time, unlike the designing part.

Fuck, I just hate this work.

This is the point where my life changed drastically.

This is the point where I’ve become engineer to daily labour.

Exactly, I have become a daily labour. I started (rather asked) doing every stupid work which wasn’t supposed to be done by an Intern (especially those who are from IIT). Now the only difference between daily labour and me is, I wear shaastra/saarang T shirt to work and the daily labour wear some other shirt.

Here is the list of few things I’ve done so far in order to finish my intern.

Cleaned the lab for experiment. Fuck, I never cleaned my room. But I’d to do that here. I just hated it.   

Bought and cut the 10Kg jack fruit to test with my dryer. C’mon, don’t think cutting jack fruit is simple task. Once you start cutting, you will know how tough it is. You will shit in your pants.

Cleaned the dishes to preserve the sample product.

Chopped the wood to fuel the dryer. God I just hated it. Understood how painful the life of a wood cutter.

Drilled nails into 2 inch aluminum plate and dryer for proper design.

Cut n pieces of metal with hack saw. Remembered the days of fitting workshop.

Charged the combustion chamber with wood 6 hours a day and for 10 days. After this work, my lungs has become like that of a chain smoker, fuck the smoke coming out of combustion chamber.

If I had done all these works outside, I would have earned nearly 20k per month. But here I am doing all these shit just to get one fucking certi to get intern credited.

P.S. Anand sir, please don't mind if this looks uncomfortable for you. This post is just mix of few facts and some illusion followed by delusion combined with hallucination. :)
