The most awaited meeting for AIESEC Chandigarh happened. Some of the new recruits had just come back from a once in a lifetime experience of the NLDS conference and this meeting was about what these delegates had learned so far in that conference and some important announcements. The new recruits were taught about branding and a few important things about AIESEC and how they all will play an important part in the Local Chapter. Important announcements about the upcoming conferences, namely NSC( national strategic conference) which is a conference for the Vice President’s and Local Conference which is for the whole AIESEC Chandigarh, being held in October were made.
The main attention of the meeting was the upcoming event “Balkalakaar”- an annual event which AIESEC Chandigarh hosts every year for the under privileged kids. The applications for the organizing Committee will be released soon. The new members had to be given their respective departments and the former was done immediately after these announcements. The new members of the local chapter got a chance to meet their new teams and department in which they will carry on with their AIESEC Experience.

Another wonderful week came to an end, and like every week I learnt a new dimension of life. One of my Intern from Egypt got hurt in an accident, and somehow he along me were in a dilemma that what should be the next step- He wanted to return back to his country ( but then he would have regretted throughout his life) and if he decides to stay back he won’t be able to work or move around.
Well I came back asked my parents and they said health is priority and its better if he returns back, but I wanted my friend to stay back, I just prayed for him and next day we went to hospital and got a check up done, I asked the same question to doctor and he too had no answer (quite unbelievable at that moment), came back home had a sleepless night thinking same can happen with anyone.
Next morning it was 6 hours of effort visited every hospital and ensured that he had best treatment and in the end he was happy and now has decided to recover and extend his internship. The reason I shared is not that I helped him, it’s really not about “I” the reason is that there is power in prayer, there is power in yourself too which comes from prayer, I really can’t express it because it is difficult.
But I feel that my week went productive.There is a feeling of relief and peace.

Alright so I don’t know how to begin with. I wrote and deleted the first line 6 times. It all started in my winter break, I was getting bored, surfing net and came across AIESEC. I just filled the form online in January 2011. Then the whole month passed away and I thought I will never get a call but suddenly in the month of February I received a call. Sometimes, small things in your life turns out to be one of the most remarkable things. I went and rather it was my very first group discussion & personal interview. I was nervous as I didn’t have any idea about it. It all happened and I waited a long for the final call from AIESEC. It was 2pm and I was sleeping when I received a call from my mentor, I couldn’t react well at that time and my mentor thought I am not at all excited which wasn’t the case. I was hell excited & I slept again. Thus, began another most fascinating journey of my life but initially I was unsure of what is expected from me and what was in store for me ahead. We had our ice-breakers & it was yet another amazing part of the organisation. I was recruited in education sector and since that day I love Education :p My AIESEC journey has been great so far with small speed breakers which told me that I am running too fast. There’s a lot more which I can give this to organisation and also take the same from it. I have seen immense growth and change in myself since the day I have joined this organisation and it is definitely the best platform to explore and develop one’s potential to the fullest.

So it’s that time of the year when most of the interns who were there with us won’t be there any longer. It’s time for them to move on with their lives and for us to move on with ours. I remember another perfect ending to a beautiful internship experience of Aline, an intern from France. We went to Floating Restaurant in Sirhind,Punjab. I remember the day when she arrived and she said, “I never want to live here, this is such a weird place.” Weird place was for India. I told her that when people arrive in India, they never want to live here. But when they leave they just don’t feel like going back to their respective countries. I also told her that we will talk about this when it will be her time to go. Just before the day she left, her words were changed and I reminded her of the similar lines which she said but words like “live” changed to “leave” and “weird” changed to “beautiful”. She said, “I never want to leave India, this is such a beautiful place.” If we can bring this kind of impact in every Interns life I guess purpose of AIESEC will be solved. Don’t believe in Quantity. Believe in Quality + Quantity together.
Also from this day, our department planned that we will start going out on every 2nd week (Sunday Mainly) for an outing so that we guys can be together as a TEAM. The thing that will always stay with you will be memories and the learning which you have gathered, not the position. Moreover if we as a team are strong, the results will be strong too.
