\"Internship<\/p>\n

Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement. Heena is pursuing Mechanical engineering and shares her wonderful experience of internship days.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I am in love with the places I’ve never been to, and the people I’ve never met.” Books transcend me to a dreamworld of my own and enable me to touch the depths of a person’s soul as he paints his story in the 200 or so odd pages of an ordinary book. For me it is the closest I can get to an unfamiliar figure, see his life churn in and out, spanning across the length of those humbled pages, and visit a complete foreign world he wants me to experience. Books are a tangible beauty, full of life, demanding love. And that’s what I shed upon them –\u00a0 Love.<\/p>\n

One day as I was sitting idle, working hard to dawdle the day away, I came across a post from Readers’ Club of Delhi while aimlessly scrolling down my newsfeed on facebook. I googled it up and jumped up with excitement to find that this was a community of book-lovers, readers and writers, brimming with creativity and life. And that “latent fire” of love inside me was stirred and began to pour out more than I could imagine as I immediately decided that I needed to be a part of it. Prancing upon these thrilling thoughts of mine and pushed forward by all the positive vibes I was getting in the moment, I mailed my resume to them the very same night and was soon enveloped by hazy clouds of a delightful slumber, very happy and peaceful!<\/p>\n

Within a few days, I got a call from its co-founder, Kashish Badar, informing me that I had been shortlisted and would have to send over copies of a few articles that I must have had experience with, to get started. With a wide grin spread across my face, I mailed her my articles ( FYI, I love to read and I write sometimes), very confident of my selection. Soon I received a call from her, elating me with the good news and I was beaming from head to toe.<\/p>\n

I was told that there are different profiles in Readers’ Club from doing poetry and articles to covering mega-events as a columnist to reviewing books! I gladly chose to be a book reviewer (for the aforementioned thing, I told you, I’ve for books)! Still there are varieties of genres in books and to be frank, I didn’t feel comfortable in reviewing all kinds of them. To be reading and enjoying a book is one thing, but to dive to the depths of a book, representing a specific genre, that you’re not very familiar with, differs leaps and bounds from simply reading away its chapters at leisure. So I decided that I could not capture the essence of a book justifiably if it it was a genre that I could not relate with. And hence my choice of books to be reviewed narrowed down to the “chick-lit” category, the books that are mostly comical, emotional, blaring out a social message, and are necessarily “made for the heart”.<\/p>\n

Until now, I am in love with my territory of books and resolve to transgress the boundary soon as my learning curve takes a steep upturn and I begin to grow and see myself as a professional in this field. Until then, I can only thank Reader’s Club of Delhi to acknowledge me in their widespread team of strong dreamers, reading- enthusiasts and creativity-savourers. I am still interning with them and wish to continue with it for a long time to come. For all that matters ultimately is the book that I cozily go to bed with, at the end of the day, before that “peaceful slumber” returns to encompass me with its thick haze once again .<\/p>\n
