Placement

Last week I had a placement at a chartered accountants S.M.Varma & co. Slightly apprehensive at first, given that we spent the first four hours alone in a small conference room with nothing to do. However I was wrong to assume that the rest of the week would be like this as it got so much better. I have managed at last to get at least one photo from India. In this photo from L to R is me, Lucy, Pulkit, Ankit and Harmeet (Will was also at the placement but was the one taking the photo)

These guys gave us lectures on basic accounting principles throughout the week. Sometimes this could get tedious, but it balanced out, as we would also talk to them as friends e.t.c. They are lovely guys, really friendly and from what I had seen and heard, very hard working and intelligent. They seem to be so proud to be working where they are, all had hopeful future plans and they understand the more they study the higher up they will get in life. Hopefully I will see them again at some point!.... they did also briefly invite us to 'Adventure Land'... a theme park. This offer was gracefully declined. Since the silent assumption between me, Lucy and Will was that we imagined an Indian roller coaster to be like a tut tut on rails! .. this doubt was further heightened when they failed to find a website for the place! 

These were the images going through my head:

I may be a little naive, but hey... I am pretty sure I felt more comfortable saying 'no' than I would ever have been saying 'yes' to a proposal such as this when I know full well how insanely they drive!
