Dear All,
The association with Teach For India was small but sweet.
Today is my last day at Teach For India. After TFI internship, I am going to join Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA) to pursue MBA. Thankfully, I don’t have to resign & this is the best part of internship that it comes with an expiry date. Though I continued voluntarily for one more month after completion of internship because of the beauty of the work culture here. Thanks Sheela/Kavita/Anuja for working out this extension.
TFI has given me an opportunity to grow & to become a kid at the same time. I understand myself better now & enjoyed past four months to the fullest. I came to the office full of energy & enthusiasm every single day.
Special thanks to:
1. Anil Bhaiya – For all the things that I learnt from you. You should be given a PhD considering the large pool of contacts that you have & the research you put in on every single day at TFI. Also, thanks for hunting for my life partner, though we couldn’t succeed but we should celebrate the efforts. I promise to get married within five years.
2. Sheela – For believing in my potential & getting me into TFI. At times I think how boring & monotonous my life would have been if I wouldn’t have written that casual mail to careers@teachforindia.org that you took seriously.
3. Rebecca – For your creative talent & spontaneity that I will copy/paste at MICA.
4. Ruchi Mathur – For guiding me to take better decisions for my career.
5. Sangeeta Maushi – For giving Pune staff the food & keeping the office tidy.
6. Kids from Surya’s/Subhashini’s/Jyoti’s class – For calling me bhaiya & playing with me.
7. Last but not the least – Shaheen & everyone in TFI whose names are not mentioned above & who interacted with me or passed a smile while passing by. For all the love, support & guidance that you gave me during my work. 2010 Fellows & all other applicants for coming to Assessment Centre on time & co-operating in Selection processes.
Special sorry to:
Fiona – For asking you to go to Thermax, Mumbai to guide Fellowship applicants when the assessments were scheduled in Thermax, Pune.
Now as I sign off, two of my juniors (Medha Krishnan & Siddharth Maru) are signing-in to TFI. Both are 2010 batch Civil Engineers. I hope they will contribute a lot to the student achievement & to TFI culture. I would continue to volunteer with Selection/Recruitment depending upon the time I get during my studies.
In the end…..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUBHADRA!
Goodbye & see you all when I sign-in again. I hope you dance…..
