Now I get it why your writing is so professional . Mai sochi rahi thi subah , now I got the answer.Oh tall, handsome, and appreciative boss- my dear I had no idea they even produced those!
My first job was an intern writer like Naina. The difference: I was working for a magazine while being a 2nd year literature student. My boss was an absolute tyrant and I had a really bad first day. He scolded me the first thing in the morning because (like Naina) he caught me sitting idly on a busy workday. When I said I hadnt been assigned any work yet, he said you should be writing. Do it every second if you want to pursue this field. And then went on to make it very obvious for me that I was going to have a very hard time. He made me fetch coffee 4 times! That too not from the coffee machine rather from the starbucks around the corner. Panting, sweating in a very cold january I somehow survived the coffee runs only to have my ideas shot down in meetings because they were too raw and unpolished. I had never received professional training before so he worked me to the thins: getting me to read so many stories my head burst, pointing out my mistakes with a red pen (ew gross) and constantly putting down my writing. But after the first month there I finally wrote something he liked and he actually smiled at me. The story never got published though because he didnt think I was ready. I left the job after that, I wasnt getting paid enough and my finals were around the corner so I couldnt manage the stress of my job.
But I do feel he taught me the most lessons about life and writing in that first month. I never got a chance to go back because they relocated to another city. I am not sure whether I should be sad or thankful about that 😆
