SAP Project #MyInternTheory

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch" This is a famous saying which has a deep meaning. This applies to me as well as I used to keep considering myself an employee as I was already placed in my company but my professor reminded me that without training, I would not become a permanent employee so soon. This is how my internship program started.

It was my final year and we had to submit a project for my company where I was placed in. The days when I used to everyday travel three hours to the company where I and my three friends used to travel for 3 hours every week for the project as we had been placed in the same company. We were working in a new technology SAP and to get knowledge of this technology itself took us 2 months. A manager of the company guided us a lot and helped us in completing this project. Initially, it was very tough and I never thought I would be able to learn it compared to my other friends who were already getting a hold about the project and its requirements. I started learning about it after college and while completing my studies and this is how I managed to start working on the project.

We started making Excel files as temporary data which had to be combined at a later stage. We divided our work and each one of us made 5 Excel files with 200 entries of people, their contact number, email ID, State and City. When the files were ready, we were taugt how to integrate them in the SAP system and get the final result. We were making many mistakes while doing this and since we had only 1 day in a week, it took us a long time to learn individually how to get the result. When we finally managed to do it on our own, we showed the manager our project dummy file and he immediately approved the same.

Finally, I have an advice for the new interns. I would just like to tell them that these years are really very tough and it just requires one to be dedicated to their studies and have a better concentration in classes as it helps in the preparation of exams. 4-5 months is the max amount of time we get to prepare and it's our test which needs to be done with ease.

This was the first stage of my internship program that helped me as an intern and made me more confident in taking up projects and completing them before time. The SAP project made me life an office life before hand though we did not get a stipend for the job.

The toughest day of my life

Here in this blog, I want to share one of the toughest phase of my internship. Since it was a roller-coaster ride for me, my memories too have been good as well as bad and some have been torturing for me.

That day still haunts me as I remember it. It was my first month of internship in my office and I had to submit a project along with another intern who had joined just few days before me. We had to submit a word document as well with all the written matter and take a printout of the same and present it before the manager who was our trainer as well. We were given all the necessary information before hand and the guidelines that we had to follow. Everything was clear to us but since we were both very new, we were confused of how to go about it and we did not want to worry the trainer as he was busy in his work. We were struggling with it as we had no guidance and I took a project from the database as a reference. We started working from home as well as the time was short and our project matter too was not ready. We tried different codes to get our results but we dint manage to get the final result. It was just 2 days left for our project and my friend called me up that she got a part of the code right. I was excited as we still had a day but I was tensed if I could complete it all by my own. It was the toughest day of my life. I tried different codes and finally one worked and gave me my final result. It was 3:30 a.m. that day and I had no time to get a print out of the program.

I reached the office and told my friend this good news and we still had to get a print out done which would be after we made some final changes. We had to then attend a training program which was a part of our internship and it lasted for 2 hours. After our training program got over we did the same and I saved my program in my hard drive (pen drive). I went to the washroom and the PD fell inside the washroom and made me go crazy. I got a peon to get it out but I was scared if it would work. It fortunately worked and we took a print out immediately and submitted our project.

It was one of the worst experiences of my life and I hope it never happens anytime in future where at the end, I need to run about with my work.

My Mowgli Memory

Why is Jungle Book my favorite cartoon:



Mowgli has been my most favorite character among all cartoons and what's unique about this cartoon is that it shows a young boy among different animals and his struggle to find his identity among them. It was something that attracted me to watch this cartoon among my other favorites like "Tom and Jerry", "Scooby Doobie Doo" and "The Mask". I remember few facts about this cartoon and the song "Jungle Jungle baat chali hai pata chala hai...Chaddi pehenke phool khila hai phool khila hai" was my most favorite songs as it was cute and innocent. I remmeber singing this song all the time while being a school kid and my mom used to stop me from singing it due to the lyrics. The song is so loving that till today I remember it even though it has been almost two decades. I also remember asking my mom what's the meaning of the song and she used to laugh at my question. I had a game too of Jungle Book and I used to keep playing it all the time till it had become my addiction. It was one of my most favorite games like Alladin.



Watching the cartoon:


My school used to leave at 5:00 p.m. and that was the time I couldn't catch up with any of my cartoons and hence before leaving for school at around 11:00 a.m., I used  to catch few episodes of Mowgli where I used to put the song on loud and cheer for him. As he used to fight with Sher Khan, I used to keep saying "Go Mowgli, you can do it" and I used to get completely involved with his character. When the TV used to be off, I used to be stubborn about having my breakfast and lunch and my mom knew that these cartoons only can make me have lunch. Hence she used to put Jungle Book cartoon keep feeding me with the food as my eyes were glued to my TV screen.

A memory:

One such episode I remember about Jungle Book is when Mowgli feels low and asks his mom that he isn't worth anything but his mom gives him courage and the next day while he gets prepared for a competition with another wolf, he remembers her words and uses his weapon to win the competition. That's something I remember among all the episodes.

My three favorite characters:

Mowgli: I loved the character Mowgli as he was so innocent and relatable that I used to live his character as he used to keep running about in the jungle and fighting with Sher Khan.



















Sher Khan: I used to also love Sher Khan's character even though it was a negative one as his voice was so manly and I don't know why but I felt he too liked Mowgli to some extent.

















Bagheera: The best thing about this cartoon is the friendship of Bagheera and Mowgli and the support of his parent wolves who raised him up. Bagheera was very wise and sharp and he used to always give Mowgli tips of how to fight with Sher Khan. If I remember, he was once hurt too and Mowgli looked after him.

The movie:

I am quite excited to watch the move Jungle Book that's going to release on 6th April and it will refresh all my memories of watching this cartoon. I again feel like the same child who used to sit before my TV and smile while watching the cartoon. It's a feeling that cannot be expressed in words. When I heard about the trailer, I soon started surfing the internet to watch it and it brought happy tears to my eyes when I again heard the song and saw Mowgli with his friends.

#KhulKeKheloHoli - An unfortunate incident

I had got a job after my college got over and it was the first ever time I was going to join an office and start working. I did not want to play holi as the color wouldn't go off and I would look unprofessional and shabby if I had to go in that state to my office, especially because it was the first day and I had to look good and presentable.

At about 9:00 a.m., my friends started calling my name out and I looked from the window waving at them and telling them that I would not come as I had to go to office the next day. They were upset and I went to sleep again. I then heard few laughters and people screaming and enjoying themselves. My mom looked at me and said "You want to go down?" I thought for a while and nodded my head as holi is a festival that is the most enjoyable and fun loving one and I can't bear sitting at home when my friends are enjoying and playing with colors outside. I just forgot about everything and wore a white shirt and pant as Holi is enjoyed the best when the while clothes turn colorful. I ran down with slippers and collected few packets of green and red color in my pockets. I saw my friends were busy targeting the boys of the next building and I put color on their faces while they were distracted. We then started running around and throwing color on each other and laughing.

Everything was going good that morning till the boys from the next building dint come inside our building compound. They came in with pakka color in their hands and some had balloons too which they kept throwing on the girls and unfortunately, one balloon hit my eye due to which I couldn't see anything for 10-12 minutes and I started crying. My friend took me aside and helped me in washing my eyes while the boys were driven away by the watchmen. I managed to open my eye but it was still aching me a lot. My mother put ice cubes and cucumber to make my eye pain reduce and it did help but my eye had turned completely red.

I did not get sleep the entire night and my eye was red the next day as well. I always remember this day as it was a good as well as bad memory for me but I guess that everyone must have had such moments as some people don't take this festival in the right spirit and take advantage of it saying "Bura na mano holi hai." However, using pakka colors and throwing balloons that can hurt a person aren't the right way to play holi. From that day, I always take care of whom I play with and be safe during holi.

Bhang ka Nasha #KhulkeKheloHoli

Holi is on 23rd and I can't wait to play holi this year. Last year I had missed playing this festival as we had gone on a trip to Australia where this festival isn't celebrated but this year it's going to be fun where the kids of our house too will join in.


Remembering my childhood moments, the most memorable one that I had captured in my webcam too and always keep watching it to laugh and enjoy the light moments is the day when I first had bhang for holi. It was the best moment of my life when I first tasted bhang, although reluctant, but it was so tasty that I drank about 2-3 glasses within a span of 20 minutes and then everything seemed so weird to me.

I kept dancing and dancing and dancing like a maniac and my friends who were also in the bhang nasha kept laughing and dancing with me. One person cracked a silly joke on the people who were looking funny with their face covered with different colors and I kept laughing and laughing at the joke. I kept laughing for 10-15 minutes and couldn't stop laughing and when my stomach started aching, I felt it was my end as my laughter continued. To distract me, my friends told me to apply color on their face and throw balloons on the other kids and then I finally stopped laughing but I then began feeling dizzy. My cousins caught me and took me home but while walking, I couldn't see my steps. I felt the ground is above my feet and I tried to catch it every time and it was such a weird moment for me. I walked and then went back to see if I am moving forward or backward and watching me doing this, my cousins started laughing and I too started again. I kept walking this way and then somehow I managed to reach my home by walking over the same steps 4-5 times and my house that was 5 minutes away took me 45 minutes to reach.

I got up after few hours with a terrible headache and my mom gave me lime water to feel relaxed but I still had memories of what I felt few hours ago due to the bhang nasha. My cousins showed me my photographs and kept teasing me that they would upload it on the internet and I kept screaming at them. We had a lot of fun that day and holi is truly a festival of colors and laughter moments.

A thank you message for my uncle #MemoriesForLife

I was in school that time and my parents did not have enough money to purchase a new home. We were staying in a chawl and the room was too small to accommodate 4 people and hence my parents wanted to buy a new flat where we could stay comfortably but money was running short. It was then when my uncle (my grandfather's brother) lent us a sum of Rs. 70,000/- for our new house and because of that money, my mom was able to pay the price and we all shifted soon into that new home.

When I became 5 years old, my uncle gifted me a small toy car which I could use to play about in our house and that was the best gift I had ever received. He kept giving me gifts all the time and he was my favorite uncle. When I started studying in the tenth, my parents again faced a crisis and they couldn't afford my tuition fees which was about Rs. 10,000 and again it was my uncle who gave us a helping hand and I finally passed my exams with a distinction. He was the one who suggested that we celebrate this day and he gave a party to make me feel even more happy. It was one of my first ever result as it was the board exams and from then, I would leave my school and start studying in a college. This was the reason my uncle celebrated the moment and also advised me to make a wise decision of which course I want to choose and he told me that he is always there to help me. My mom and dad were very happy that he was always besides us but I wanted to give him a payback and hence I had decided to work and pay his money back as a tribute to the help me gave me when I needed it the most.


This message is for you uncle as you have always stood by me and helped me every time but I never got a chance to thank you for everything you have done for me. May be I was a kid that time and today I am a grown up woman. I take this opportunity given to me by HDFC and thank you for whatever you've given me. You always treated me as your little daughter and gave me the love and care you wanted to give your own child and never asked anything in return. Thank you uncle for everything.

A special message for my mom #MemoriesForLife

I was 12 years old when I took part in a fancy dress competition and it was my first stage performance. I dressed up in a Navari sari and I had to dance on the song "Haat naka lavu majya sadila". I had learnt few steps which my mom only choreographed for me and I was a bit nervous before my performance. There were many girls who acted on the stage and one girl started crying as she forgot her lines and the crowd kept cheering her up. I was scared thinking that I may too forget my steps and everyone might make fun of me as they think I was good in dance.

I prepared myself and the teachers of mine wished me before my performance on stage. My mom came to me and wished me with a hug and I hugged her tightly. She told me "Best of luck my doll. I know that you will do very well on stage and win the prize. I'm sure as you are talented and today is your day to prove yourself." I replied her saying "I know mom that more than my dream, it's your dream to see me perform on stage. I will surely make you proud." Saying this, I was called to stand in the line and within 10-15 minutes, I had to give my performance.


While waiting for my turn, I saw my mom getting nervous behind the stage. I could see the fright and anxiety on her face and hence I ran towards her and she told me that the music system is not working properly. Since I dint have much time, she told me to myself sing the words of the song as there was no other option. I kept biting my nails as I barely remembered the lyrics of the song and to sing it loudly would be a tough job for me. I dint know what to do and then my name was announced. I took the mic in my hands and said "Welcome one and all. Here my song now." I started dancing and singing the words and the music system suddenly played my song. I looked at my mom and she wished me the best. I completed my performance and after an hour, I was given the third prize for my performance.

It was the first ever best memory of my life which is dedicated to my mom and I thank her for everything she has given me till today. This video is dedicated to you mom "https://memories.hdfclife.com/message/aDCvCneBIEo-3ie56nbIaA=="
