If my Action Consultancy (AC) in Infosys were a movie, I"m at the part when the hero faces a lot of tough challenges. My fourth week in the InStep Internship program was full of challenges both at work and outside of work.

For the first time, I"ve faced some serious roadblocks to my project"s completion. I"m currently building a prototype of a software application that"s related to Infosys" Innovation Management and it is based on a collaborative marketing framework and Web 2.0 components. The work I"ve done for the past week has led me to a solution that needs customization of Open Source software. So I"m relatively stuck in some parts of my required functionalities and I"ve consulted several resources within the company and over the web, but to no avail. Darn.

But my biggest concern last week was my visa situation. It really took my mind off of work and stressed me out a lot. Worst case, I may seek the help of the Philippine Embassy in India to sort this matter out if the Infosys folks are not able to fix it. Here"s the absolute worst case: I may be held here in India for at least two months more to straighten out the visa issue. Why two months? I"ll have to "thank" the Indian bureaucracy for that. I do hope the worst does not happen.

If my AC were a movie, it"s starting to look like a tragedy where the hero fails miserably in the end. I hope there"s a happy ending somewhere.

UPDATE: I"m posting some pics from one of my friend"s farewell dinner.
