First 7 day Trip to Ujjain

If you are wondering where Ujjain is, its in Madhy Pradesh. A two hour drive from Indore, I reached the holy land of temples. Ujjain is know for its Mahakal temple and people from various part of the country come here to visit this temple.
However this trip was uniquefor me. Everything I did was for the first time . Right from sitting in the plane, travelling alone etc.etc. Initially I was confused, wondering What I am doing here? But this was just the start.. and from there onwards have been enjoying the work which I do.
I got the chance to visit around 6 villages and understand the activity which we were working on. The guidance of my superiors helped me to enter and understand this. I got the opportunity to understand the religion, customs, people, life of people living in these villages. The amount of respect given to an outsider is truly commendable. Also I got the opportunity to work with a big brand of India - Marico and understand the working of FMCG business in small town areas. The learning scale recieved here is hughe and got exposure to learn not only the media pattern of working but also FMCG and the detailing which gets into it.
I like this start........
