Breaking the Ice or Melting it?

Silence often has the strongest voice - Anonymous

As I finally decide to put my fingers to my keyboard, I made up my mind, to publish a blog post one way or the other. It has been ages since I've written a casual post here. That's what I intend to do now. Every time I sit to write something I have in mind, I get distracted and put away my writing. I am not proud of it but I don't beat myself over it either. I haven't been in a writing mood lately and I feel...illiterate to not have read a proper novel for a long time. So here I am, halfway through the holidays, cherishing the beautiful and unpredictable Yorkshire-style Bangalore weather sitting on my overly-comfy bed (which will be missed when I'm gone), with a book in one hand and my laptop in other. (of course I put down the book to type).

As they say, 'An Idle mind is a Devil's workshop", I heed "their" advise and prevent myself from being idle during the holidays. So, to carry on the aforementioned prevention, I enrolled myself in a small company called Jetwings where I am interning for thirty days. At first, I thought it was going to be a boring 30 days but I am glad I was wrong. This intern-ship came up with a lot of surprises. From Industrial visits to problem-solving in cfd software, it is sheer excitement for someone like me. Not going too much into the technicalities, my 18 days interning here has been a brilliant experience. It had "aerospace" written all over it. (not literally).  I feel like I am in the haven of learning. Assimilating different kinds of knowledge.

Apart from the intern-ship, travelling to and from the venue has been an interesting experience. The daily bus rides through the never-ending traffic of the city, finding alternate bus routes, oversleeping in the bus and missing my stop, meeting interesting people, it has been an exciting experience so far.

So the remaining days of these holidays is what I look forward to. With a mini-project lined up for me and more to learn in the internship, I will be more active in this desolate blog of mine.

Before you think I am boring you with my life, I will conclude by saying that I have lined up some interesting posts following this unnecessary one. But I wanted to write this to break the ice. Apparently, polar bears are not heavy enough to break it.
