Rural internship wasn’t a checklist on my degree — it was a reality check.

No network, no ACs, and sometimes, no medicines.

But there were people. So many people.

Walking miles just to be seen. Heard. Helped.

I remember an old man who brought jaggery as thanks.

A mother who waited 4 hours just to ask, “Is the fever dangerous?”

A little girl who waved at me like I was magic — just because I smiled.

You don’t realise how much trust weighs until it’s handed to you in a place where even Google hasn’t mapped all roads.

Out there, you’re not just an intern.

You’re hope in a white coat —even if you are running on re-used gloves, learning to heal with limited tools.
