Hi!

I understand the predicament that you are in. Firstly, congratulations on making it to the internship!

Try the following with your parents, maybe it’ll help!

Our parents at times are strict because sometimes they themselves are scared and hence, I’d recommend that when you talk to your parents, speak about the company.

It would genuinely help you if you have a plan ready, like location of where the office would be, and if you have a friend or family member who your parents are aware would help immensely.

I recommend go and speak up with your parents when you have all the specifics ready, where you’re going to stay and with whom. Give them the option to connect with that friend or family member who you’re going to stay with which will give them a sense of safety and would be more open to entire options.

Hope it helps!

HI!

I hope that sure instills some faith in your parents. You may also recommend your parents to drop you off in Delhi so that they feel safer and aware of your situation.

While I understand that some parents are strict and may want to exercise control (maybe because of their own underlying fear) but sometimes it is good to have an open conversation with a calm mind even if they are yelling.

Please do not hesitate to ask me for any help whatsoever. I’ll try helping as much as possible.

Really wish good luck to you :D
