Hello everyone!

Hope you all are doing good!

Today's blog is all about my experience of going to FRS,Sangareddy from my college for a rural work experience programme (For people who don't know, it's basically a training program where we stay in villages for 4-5 months and learn new things and techniques from farmers)

To begin with, the journey as usual began with a hassle as we weren't informed about the exact day and date of departure. We waited and waited ;were about to go home and as expected, we got a call that we'd be leaving in the early hours of the next day. That's it! We were confused,enthused and amused, we packed everything from utensils to clothes; cereals to junk food; umbrellas to stolls etc... The next day was cozy and calm,we started expecting a long drive for 4-5 hours, beautiful house for rent etc... Guess what happened!!

We ended up in a fully packed college bus 😶,only a 40 minutes drive from our college😑,to a very newly constructed house with no glasses in the windows, no doors!!!! We were flabbergasted and it's obvious to be! All my beautiful expectations were shattered for a moment. Then in a hurry we called the owner to get them fixed... He replied as every owner usually does,' okay, I'll get it done in 2 days'. Now imagine being stranded in front of that house with our entire 1 quintal luggage!! We came to a conclusion of settling in the house nevertheless the mess there. So we got into the house, started cleaning ,sorting our luggages.Somehow,we tried spending two days like that.It was a unique experience altogether....the early morning view of the village,the discussions over what to cook,who'll clean,the freedom of 'no curfew' time unlike every girls hostel,that feeling of tenants... individuals! Sharing expenses,managing our room,the night time-long talks, calling our dear friends at 2am, roaming on the roads of this unknown town in search of a hospital and as every free individual does, buying unnecessary stuff and tagging them as necessary. So we went in search of a hospital at 4 pm to the main town...we were lost in a road full of good shops(we did not have a proper store in the area where we stayed),we went to a super market and bought stuff even when not needed,had road side junk food, had ice creams forgetting about the doctor and hospital!! Later we found a hospital,we waited for an hour for the doctor, consulted him and came back to our room at 8pm after buying ice-creams.




The next day, we went to the research station in sangareddy... It was beautiful and well maintained (Have a look at the pictures). All the scientists were very kind and nice to us.We got to have "muft ke mangoes"(lol).We bought many mangoes,saw the nursery,spoke to the people there,enjoyed the beauty of the station,learned few things and came back!

It was a very different experience! It's nice that life is new everyday, challenging also sometimes and makes us learn many things every single day. What do you think about it!?Yes,this was all about today's post. I'll be coming up with another post very soon.Until then,

Stay safe,stay happy!

Sharwani.

Howdy folks? Hope you're all doing good. I've just come to my room through the corridor of my Uni hostel which means....at least 5 non-telugoos exchanging the noob telugu phrases taught by me and me replying in the local language taught by them! Seems fun? It obviously is! One thing that I've learnt spending an year in my new uni is that observational learning happens involuntarily too... it's because the alpha female protagonist referring to... may be...Geet from Jab we met, has substantially transformed to Spandana from Racegurram😂 Let me start the blog by sharing a really cringey experience which I've had which would obviously, for sure, make you'll laugh... chalo atleast would make you'll smile yaaar! As people around don't understand telugu in my Uni, Snehal and I have become 'extremely' outspoken. Once we've gone to a pretty big shop nearby to shop something. It happened that the bhaiyya who was showing us things was way too sluggish.A...

Greetings folks! Hope you all are keeping well  I don't know if my readers are stargazing enthusiasts, but the author certainly is. If you are too, then I'd like to flaunt how beautiful the night skies from my hostel look. Now you might say, "Sharwani... skies are the same everywhere"...I partially agree because, the sky here is clearer and the amount of visibility from the naked eye is greater. It's always like a colorful pallete with different hues, concentrated at the top and smudging as we look down to the horizon. In this beautiful looking multichromatic canvas, there are monochromatic frames of black birds flying; white stars glittering, which makes it a beautiful picturesque; The moon selflessly showering her silvery sparkle on everyone talking to their families on the terrace.  Nature depicting it's perfect inelasticity towards people of all castes,creeds,races,irrespective of the cranial capacities,IQ levels,riches,status,not making anyone feel dumb o...

Hello fellow readers! How are you all? Hope you all are doing fine.  The entire day's schedule certainly depends on the time we wake up.I feel being an early riser somehow kickstarts a productive day...what do you guys say?  A peaceful morning walk amidst the lush green heavy trees,the melodious birds chirping,  the slowly rising energizing surya, an off-white ceramic bowl full of organic fruits for breakfast besides a transparent glass full of fresh orange juice,relishing these on a bamboo swing.Isn't that a fantasizing ideal morning? Feels so. If you ask me how are days swiftly going on, somedays it's like being the female protagonist in a Shekhar Kammula's film.... pairing a nice chikankari suit with denims, all decked up, flipping hair in the direction of the fan's wind, accessorising with favorite watches, getting ready with Mohit Chauhan's 'masakali' playing in the background, going to college and feeling all excited and enthusiastic.  And other d...
