I'm Professional.. now...

So, my summer internship has started and today was my 4th day @ Glenmark generics Ltd. in Mumbai. Monday was the first day and was really special as it was my first office day. I reached andheri, where Glenmark’s HO is located which is a huge 6 floor building opposite to HUL, at 8.45 am. I called HR and she asked me wait for some time. After around 1 hour, she came and said that I will have to wait for another 1 hour as my work centre was getting ready and PC configured. I was rejoiced thinking that I’ll be treated as an employee of managerial position.
Around 12 noon, I was taken at my work centre and was given log in id and password of my computer along with a glenmark mail id i.e. deepeshk@glenmark-generics.com and a landline phone. Now that was something I was feeling proud of. The HR instructed to start online induction on Glenmark’s intranet. So I obeyed her and she told me that I’ll be meeting VP, supply chain management, who is also my mentor. Some kind of different feeling was running in my heart with lot of butterflies. Finally in the evening at 6pm I got the chance to meet my mentor who is generally damn busy. He gave me the project details and also told me that I’ve to go Goa next week to pursue the project and have hands on experience of operations management. He told me that whole of my staying arrangements will be taken care of. I was feeling glad on this.
Life has changed a bit now. It feels completely professional. I was thinking how the life would be once I’m in job. Lot of questions run in my mind daily with scary answers. I hope everything will be fine.
