Susurrations echoed in my ears as if I was laying on gray sand, on the shore. It didn’t take me long to realize I wasn’t in Goa but in Kathmandu, confined to four walls, on an enormous bed that inevitably made the room look smaller than it is. It wasn’t the ocean but my phone passing the vibes, perhaps to wake me up for something that could change my life forever, the first day of my first on-site job. I was ecstatic, my heart pounded, and a wave of thoughts turned my sand of aspirations into quicksand. Doubts started to pop up, what if I wouldn’t be able to make the most out of it? Or perhaps don’t get the kind of work I am competent for. Nevertheless, there’s nothing a warm and steamy shower can’t solve. I got in the car, and my father, the core reason for me taking up the employment opportunity insisted to drop me off at work. He made an offer I couldn’t refuse; there’s a reason why my friends call me DC — Directionally Challenged. I set my foot into the bungalow, I didn’t know which entrance to use, one led to a few room and the other to the staircase. I had visited the place before but it felt more like a mirage of rooms and staircases. Gingerly, I got used to it.

Looking back in my time as a creative intern at CREASION, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and nostalgia. It was a journey of self-discovery, personal growth and invaluable connections.

However, from the very first day, I was welcomed with open arms by my colleagues and mentors. They were always available to offer guidance and support, and I felt like I was part of a family.

As I settled into my role, I was given the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, including designing social media posts, writing blogs, editing videos and formulating captions. I also had the chance to design presentations, standees and banners. These projects allowed me to showcase my creativity and push the boundaries of my skills.

One of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of my role was creating content that resonated with our audience. I learned the importance of considering their preferences and researching their needs, and I was able to use that knowledge to create content that was both visually appealing and meaningful.

But the most significant takeaway from my experience was the friendships I made. The team was more than just colleagues, they were friends who supported me through my ups and downs. I will always cherish the memories and bonds I formed during my time there.

As I move forward in my career, I will always look back on my experience with fondness. It was a turning point in my life, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities, growth, and friendships that I gained during my time there. CREASION is not just an organization but a family that helps each other to grow together. I have a memory of my first day wrapped in gold foils, Mr. Aanand Mishra had called me to his room, made me sit and said, “Don’t ever look at me as a grumpy boss but a supportive leader, you have any issues with anything, I’m there to help you out.”

In conclusion, my journey as a creative intern was an emotional and transformative experience. I am proud of the work I accomplished and the relationships I formed, and I will always cherish the memories I made during my time there.
