The Intern Act 1

15 of us got of the Bangalore Mail at Cantt around 5 am . We managed to fit 25 pieces of baggage and 15 of us into two cars ( an indica and an alto ! ) . One of which was provided by a friend's uncle. After half an hour of searching in the darkness over roads that define the words "kuchha and rocky" we finally reach Nest Inn , our hopeful place of stay for the next one and a half months. The house looked nice on the outside and gave some hope to us. On taking our 1st steps inside , all hopes were dispelled. The windows were full of dust , the corners full of cobwebs , no water , every bathroom door having a hole big enough to fit a 14" TV ( At least you wouldn't get bored inside or outside ) , no electricity and the fear of 15 of us having to fit in 2 rooms.

After the lodging , we decided to enquire about the "mess" they were supposed to have. The mess-cum-kitchen turned out to be a makeshift garage-cum-driveway. The cots that we were supposed to have as beds turned out to be the tables we were going to be using for our meals. Luckily for me , my friend's uncle who had dropped us didn't like the "Inn" any better than us and decided to invite his nephew and a friend who was hanging with him near the luggage ( me :D ) to stay at his place. It didn't take long before we were on our way back to civilization and 2 comfortable beds and a private bathroom.
