after more than a month's anticipation my wait finally ended on the 15th may.....five years of hard work was finally going to be put to test .....yes i was going to start my internship.....at a reputed hospital in my city....though i wasnt sure that i would start so early (yet so late)...evrything happened in a flash....one day i was there for the verification of my documents n the next thing i know i had the internship card in my hand!!
well the night before the joining date i was one nervous bundle.....those around me were finding it difficult to handle me.......i had so many doubts n i was so confused!!would i be welcomed?would i make new friends?what kind of work would i be given?would i be judged at every step n how?the questions were endless n more so meaningless.... i mean who had seen the future!!right?
anyhow the wait finally ended n i woke much earlier than i had put my alarm for....(i dont need alarms i think)......time seemed to have stopped....the hands of the clock seemed to have got stuck.....after gulping down the glass of milk which seemed like more of a pitcher n packing the lunch in my bag i almost felt that i m going back to school.....it really seemed so ....n i was more nervous now than i think i was on my first day at school....well by then my sis had assured me that school was bad enough so this couldnt get any worse.........
i drove to hospital all alone with all sorts of thoughts going through my mind....on my way i met a traffic jam n i was oh so sure that i m going to be late....i had begun cursing myself for not starting earlier n the adrenaline pump was by now at the stage of fatigue....but thank God the jam cleared in not more than 5minutes.....n i was again on the road with my thoughts....
the gates of the hospital welcomed me or so i thougt beckoned n taunted me.....as i drove in n found a place for my car to be parked.......
i entered the five storey OPD building what i saw i hadnt expected..........(to be contd) ..........
