SUMMER INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

YES, I CAN SELL TOO!!

Selling is a phobia to many and the salesperson the devil that will catch hold of you to sell his stuff.

Well, it is a perceived notion and hard to break. With this I landed up being part of selling team of

Future Group –Kara Division during my internship. I was given the tag of “Brand Ambassador” of

their newly launched nail polish remover wipes. The job was to make consumers aware the product

which subsequently ended up selling the product.

Initially there were hiccups in convincing ladies to buy the product. The biggest obstacle was product

being segmented to only ladies and price being slightly higher than the competitors ensuring quality

and trust to consumers. Even I had maiden sale in starting days. But then my inner self echoed to do

something different and creative to sail through this tide. I researched how to sell, read books on

selling, consulted my sister and uncle who were MBA graduates and master at selling. This widened

my approach from a sales person to a brand ambassador of the product.

My heart still pumps high thinking of my first sale. I was conscious enough to have everything right

the first time, beginning from sales pitch to payment from customer to let the sale close smoothly.

That instill confidence in me realizing, ”Yes, I can sell too!!” Then there was no looking back and I

gradually evolved in this market of selling. My instant Gurus were the shop owners who gave me

practical experience of selling to customers. I was been applauded and appreciated by my manager

for my hard work and dedication to get the stock out at every store I visited. My toughest experience

was selling it to a man for his wife and I still find it amazing to have done that.

The lesson I learnt is selling is an art. Most people fail in life not because they lack talent, but because

they lack burning desire. Learning to sell is like learning to ride a bicycle. It is 90% conviction and

10% communication. Only when a seller is full convinced about hid product, he can sell it to others. It

as a life changing experience and I hope to relish its benefits in near future.

MY EXPERIENCE WORKING IN AN ANIMAL SHELTER Throughout my life, I have tried to help animals in my own ways. I came across SPCA, an NGO which

is situated near my college. I decided to volunteer in it. The volunteering has to be always associated

with the caring and giving time to the poor animals which I could give only do on weekends so I

signed up for it on weekends.

I have been working with this NGO for more than 1 year now. I have seen animals been treated in a

beautiful manner. A lot of love and care is given to them. I, as a volunteer, is mostly given the task

of brushing and bathing dogs and cows. Other people who come regularly are given the task of

feeding all the animalswhich can be a very challenging job in itself. All the animals are kept in

different sections which makes the surveillance easy.

Working with the animals is not easy as one may think. One needs to have patience while

interacting with them. Before touching them, you need to build trust in them that you are not there

to hurt them. They need to know that they are receiving love and care from you.

Whenever I try to interact with a dog, I have to very carefully let the dog sniff my hand and be aware

of my intentions of petting him. I also work with large animals which can be difficult at times. I also

help in the outreach programs in SPCA.

I am glad that I have found a place to learn how to help animals in need and give them a lots of love.

This task of volunteering has given me a chance of learning from the animals.

MBA Gen

(2016-2018)

Sitting alone in my room I wondered

Was I challenged or the challenges challenged me

This thought seems insane so have thought of

making it sane

I read my heart, I read my mind,

Flipped through the books to make things fine

But things remain the same and the challenges

keep challenging me

Trying hard to find solutions deep inside

The naughty I stay silent outside

The outer layer unaffected though the inner core

struggling hard

The challenge is to make me strong and to learn

what I am meant for

The world seems challenging, the mind seems

challenging

What are these challenges? Why are they in life?

God says,” If life was to be made so easy then why

would have I decided to stay in mountains”

The inner child sits aside trusting the stronger me

to help her be fine.

Though the challenges still challenge me

But since they are mine

I will get done with them until I am fine.

------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------

Struggling through the day

I write this way

The story of my world

With my hair in the finger curled

I can read my thoughts

I can read their pattern

Figuring them out

Lying straight on my couch

THE POETRIES WRITTEN BELOW ARE ONE OF THE

CHAPTERS FROM MY LIFE'S BOOK

The thoughts are mine

But the image not fine

Then who is to be blamed??

It says it's me!!

Hearing this, the little girl inside

Expresses her plight

She says in agony

The soul chose this flight

The flight that flies day and night

Landing someday with newer people to meet

And others to leave

I hugged my little girl.

Understanding her plight

My letting her down

Doesn't let her shine

So now, she will shine

Because the soul chose this flight

There is nobody to be blamed

But only the odd thoughts to be flamed

I get my lesson each day

As I make my way

Through the deepest routes inside

Putting into flame all pride

-------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------

My heart speaks to me and says,

Was that you or is this you,

I tell my lovely heart,

That was me and this is also me

He smiles and says

Don‟t you fool me

Because I know you well

You kept me in hell by nurturing the mind

I apologized as I moved on to say,

Dear you, I know you are hurt

But the times have changed and so have I

Let yourself flow as fast as you can

As quickly as you want

The little heart smiles again,

Oh my dear you, why were you like this then

When I was hurt

But never mind

The pages have turned

The new chapter has started

Let‟s not go out of syllabus

Because more books to be read and learnt

The lessons of life

Which were not yet learnt

To give you and me a meaning

And for you and me to learn

-------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

Unfolding the chapters of my life

I keep writing

I keep writing

While I make my way through this day

It has left me to wonder

Just wonder

How things worked out

How the pages were turned

Have they not been

The stories would not have completed

The unfolding keeps happening

With every day passing

All thoughts also burnt

Until the breath is done

The stories of my life

Keep unfolding each day

Without letting me know that

It was just another chapter done

-------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------

I breathe I breathe

This is how I breathe

Seeing the sun hidden behind the leaves, this is how

I breathe

Under the shadow of the trees

Behind the screen of the world

I sit with myself

And I breathe

People come and go

Some rushing through the exit doors

Some sipping their cold drinks

while some sinking within,

to find a home

to their hearts

And to their minds

Watching them pass

I breathe and I breathe

Some fully packed in suits

Some freely flying in their boots

Some breathe along with me

And hence the song repeats

I breathe I breathe

I see them water the plants

I see their hands filled with mud

It is they who let these leaflets grow

So that you and I can breathe

And breathe
