Well.
I should warn you that you might not find too interesting a things here.
Its just a memoir.

Its just a memoir.
It goes long back to the november of year 2012 (which is like 8 months before) when I received on the news that I'll be spending my summers at singapore under a cool supervisory work in Transportation engineering.(well to be precise it was announced exactly on my birthday 22Nov.).It was quite a relief of having an internship at hand when I could see people around me struggling their days off on securing a good one.
I'm not really into describing what went off in those 6 months that followed but just a brief glimpse. It was all ornamented with congratulations, persuasions for treats, pride with parents, long blessings and expectations from every neighbor(who got to know such, though I did try to explain everyone of them that its just an intern not a high-profile job), all just in start.
And then it faded away. Ya, I was not going to be the president of united states or going on for a war, that I could expect people to appreciate/encourage me on forever. So in midst of heavy loads of my 6th sem, I could barely remember that I had to go on for a internship in Singapore (expect for commonalities and procedures of getting done with passport/visa/etc ).
Especially boring was the part when people asked about my internship.
PersonX : "Oh hey. How are you doing?"
Me : "Yep.Its cool."
X : " SO what about your internship in summers? Heard you got a university intern?"
Me : "Ya. Its in affiliation with Eth-Zurich".
X: "Wow. that great man. Zurich is really a excellent place. And rather Switzerland is not too big either. So you can explore a lot of europe in summers too."
(Now is when I break the news)
Me : "Well its not in zurich, but with a research center established in singapore in affiliation with Eth-Zurich. So I kinda would be staying in Singapore".
X ; (with sudden drop of thoughts) "oh. Singapore. Still its cool too. Hope you enjoy.
(with the consolatory face preaching- 'All is good.Don't lose hope') Good bye"
I was never too fond of visiting europe.It was just foreign land that interested me and so I took quite pride in resting on with singapore. Afterall its the work profile that matters (or maybe I was consoling myself with that, uh No).
Thus all went pass well. The semester was quite relieving with its results and it was time I set on for my intern.
