Business Exercise!! A good break after a 3 day grind!!

ok!! i came 2 pune as an infant when my father was in CME.The next time i came here was for the interview at SIMS.So,this is my first full fledged stay at pune and this is one day i would definitely remember forever!! Being a fresh graduate(awaiting results),this was my first experience with a company called arrowline shirts.We were lucky to convince a lady to drop us at Satara Road,right outside the campus.Also,as lady luck was on our side,we found a businessman soon enough to take us to his factory outlet at Mahatma Phule Peth.As soon as we got into his car,i enquired about his profession and happened to convince him to take us to his factory outlet.We sat in his office for a while and were shown around the place.It looked like the "Hum Hai Raahi Pyar Ke" setup wherein there were laods of sewing machines,but they were pretty advanced.We were told to help the others with sewing.It was exciting because i have never done something like this before! I was sewing trousers while my buddy was putting loops n buttons on them.The owner came and complimented us for the good work we were doing! We interacted with the labourers as well and clicked lots of pictures!! Also,we ate from their tiffins during lunchtime on the floor.They were a little apprehensive about me eating with my hand and asked if they should arrange for a spoon!! Their warmth came across. We got Rs 100 each from the owner and I think the labourers were happy to meet me as one of the girls hugged me before I left."Humko bhoolna nahi" is what they said when we were leaving.sweet,is'nt it? Then,we headed towards Paravati Temple where we were supposed to meet Kamath Sir.We walked it and were dead tired by the time we reached the top.After Sir's instructions and a few pictures we headed back to SIMS.Yes,we found another man who dropped us back. All in all,it was an amazing experience because it was a great day out without a penny spent,infact,Rs 100 earned!!
