1001 Things that will bore you after your term in AIESEC

1. Making a “to do” list for the day. It will not exceed 6 tasks (inclusive of waking up, watching TV, taking a bath, and brushing your teeth). Now keep a track of how your efficiency is improving by every passing hour & day.

2. Finding innovative ways to keep your nephew quiet. The latest trick that did work was when I asked him to count 300 onwards. He ignored me for the rest of the week!

3. Finding innovative ways to get your nephew’s attention (after you have hurt him by asking him difficult math questions).

4. Learning to use AIESEConnect J. (Where are all those presentations we showed the alumni about the system?!?!?)

5. Being a house-wife! I have strong opinions on this one, it should be abolished!

6. Trying to convince your sister that half an hour spent on finding bus schedules from Baroda to Ahemdabad, (where you have a bus every 15 minutes) is such a waste of time (when we never indulged in so much planning when we half way across the globe). Spending this half an hour watching TV can be so much more productive. It helps you with your English, GK and maintaining a strong link with the other programmes that I watched in the past 20 days.

7. Taking your cousins out on a drive to show them a new speed breaker in the other part of town.

8. Trying to organize something new & innovative for the evening, and after hours of planning, a 100 phone calls – you realize its best to sit & “talk to you”

9. After an elongated introduction at a party about what you have done in AIESEC, someone has to ask you – “So what is AIESEC?” hmmmm … where do I start? Core work design? AIESEC Identity? Change agents or global leaders?

10. Another interesting question, “Can you sum up your AIESEC career for me?” NO! :D

11. Your college professor on “Role of youth in the changing world”!

12. Your parents on “Importance of education!” God have mercy!

13. Making such a list

14. Reading such a list

15. Preempting it! ;)

You couldn’t have guessed all of it. Come on!
