A long interval? Yep! A very long one indeed… Internship was from June 18th to July 14th.. But we had to be around till July 30th inorder to submit the report and to get the certificates.. Didn’t get much time during June and July to make new posts in here.. The seniors presented their ‘Design Collection 2007′ on June 17th; a grand fashion show that was held at Abad Plaza at Ernakulam. It was a really hectic day for everyone.. The grand marathon began a little earlier for me than anyone else; I had to catch the 5 am Venad Express inorder to meet my friends at Thiruvalla.. It was a cold morning and I was thankful to the jacket that I chose to wear with my skirt. From Thiruvalla, I went to Ernakulam in a beige colored Bolero – the mere memories of the death-ride never fail to terrorize me! The person who was driving it was a family friend of my friend.. He seemed to ride in a binary mode.. either 0 or 1.. either 110km/h or 40km/h… Sudden shifts from 110 to 40… Sudden turnings, sudden brakes; in fact nothing was pre-planned.. All the fluids inside my body kinda mixed up and formed the stuff that makes us puke.. Anyways, after the fun-ride, we reached Ernakulam just in time to meet the others who came by the college bus.. I don’t wanna say much about the fashion show.. It comes on TV these days, I think.. It was not as good as last year’s show, and some collections were pretty boring too.. Well, thats my opinion! I won’t advise anyone to take my word for it!!!


We didn’t have time to lose once the show was over.. We said our byes to everybody and got inside the vehicle-of-terror again.. We stopped at somewhere to have dinner, though I was not sure why, since I knew that I’m gonna throw-up minutes after I get inside that SUV.. But the return journey was not that bad.. Well I don’t know whether it was.. I was feelin really sleepy.. It’ll be around 2am when we reach Trivandrum, and I’m gonna have to wake up at 7 inorder to get ready and reach the company. After the terrible pressures of the day, I couldn’t stay awake to check whether his driving skills had improved.. I vaguely remember Lekshmi’s younger bro blabbering from behind inorder to keep us awake.. Anju was sleeping on my lap, and that kept me wedged between the chauffeur’s seat and mine, which was working like a seat-belt, saving my head from hitting on the front seat and the window, like it had happened during the morning ride!

After dropping Anju and Lekshmi off at Anju’s aunt’s place where they both were to stay during the internship, it was lucky Shalin’s turn to escape from that bobbling-coffin-with-wheels.. The number of people in the vehicle had reduced and resultantly, I had become unfixed and open to momentum-tantrums again.. Anyways, after some more minutes, I reached home safe and sound [to my surprise!] It was almost 2:30am.. and I couldn’t go to bed without a shower.. So by the time I went to bed, it was past 3 and I hoped that sombody’ll wake me up at 7 in the morning even if the alarm fails me!! Aah.. The sweet comfort of my bed…. No point in saying goodnight now.. Sweet dreams.. Bubbyee!!
