Covid Intern : Corona Diary April 1' 2020

This is about the story of a girl who is doing internship with us at Paddle Business Consultants during Covid 19 Lock Down. During March 1st week, I received a call from Kuwait, that was Chrismi's dad to whom i was referred by a good old friend of me. She lives in Kuwait and Chrismi's father is her colleague.

The situation was that Chrismi was studing MBA at Manipal and during her internship period she was supposed to go to Kuwait to join in a big firm. Due to corona outbreak flights were cancelled to Kuwait during March 1st week and she couldn't fly.

Her father called me and requested if i can help them arrange for internship anywhere in Kochi. That was a pretty good help i could do for a family. I spoke to Chrismi, accepted her internship application and offered her internship at Paddle.

Her internship had to begin from April 1st, but on March 23rd, lock down was declared in the country and all of us began working from home.

I received a call from Chrismi saying that she has arrived in Kochi and is in quarantine as she travelled down from Manipal to Kochi. We planned her assignments as it was about digital marketing and she started her project being in home quarantine. I enquired whe she stays. She informed me that she stays at Edapally with her uncle, her brother and two cousins also along.

During this Covid 19 season, she began her internship and is continuously in touch with me, sending reports daily, taking feedback etc. We haven't seen yet. One day i messaged her asking where is she put up at Edapally.

She said near lulu mall. As she is not familiar with the place, she sent me her location map. To my surprise, she stays very close to my apartment, in fact that house can be seen from my balcony.

World is small..!
