My internship was a great one and the rest of my story will tell you why. Before beginning with the journey, I would like to draw your attention to the pre-internship period.<\/p>\n

My Friend: \u201cYaar abhi tak internship nahi mili hai. Usko kitna achcha, saamne se hi offer aa gaya, Apna kya hoga?\u201d<\/p>\n

Me: \u201cHmm..dekhte hai. Lets submit our resumes and look for the best place for internship. Achchi jagah mil jaye bas. Then we\u2019ll make it a good learning experience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As you can see, this time was of no bliss. Some classmates had already received offers from companies, some had found companies on their own and others were looking for it. I belonged to the last category.<\/p>\n

There prevailed stress and strain of where and how to apply. And since, this was supposed to be six month duration of the first-step-into-corporate world, it was a big deal. After trying at\u00a0 certain companies in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad, finally I came to Surat and narrowed down my search to two companies. Both were good but, then I chose one which led me in having more faith in it–more faith of understanding, learning and a new beginning.<\/p>\n

My first day at Pro Start Me was exciting and why wouldn\u2019t it be. New office, new laptop and new faces were around. Office timings were scheduled from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM. The project was related to the ever growing Social Media and so, it made the topic even more thrilling. Going by the software engineering phase, I kick started my work with the Google search. This was the most exciting phase because I love searching with our Google God. A lot of learning happened here and the project started off very well.<\/p>\n

My work was then followed by other phases like database design, page design and coding. Till page design phase, it was good but, you know, when it comes to writing a series of instructions, pressure dawns! I was lucky enough to receive constant help from my colleague and mentor. They were right there whenever I called them with a sad facial expression. I was guarded by an excellent team comprising of a terrific coder, an artistic designer and the best part, a guiding and motivating mentor. Dinesh Sir, I couldn\u2019t have asked for more! Where I am a mediocre, my surrounding was an expert. But this wasn\u2019t made felt, not at all. I was always instructed well and asked to try and work better. The later stage of the project went on with testing and maintenance of our web services.<\/p>\n

Things went on smoothly and never had I faced any kind of struggle in my journey with Pro Start Me. The work environment was chilled and friendly. It was a kind of place where we can be on our own. My project went on well and allowed me to learn a lot, which I will always cherish. It was an amazing journey from an Idea to a full-fledged working platform. We also had a celebration on completing our project Folwd (folwd.com), which included a Bowling match and a Mexican lunch.<\/p>\n

Big names matter but best experiences can sometimes overcome them. My internship path was a journey to be remembered.<\/p>\n
