What is it like to intern at Amazon India?
I interned at Amazon India, at chennai as an application engineer intern. It was a 8 months long internship, from September 2017 to may 2018.I had been selected through campus recruitment, after several rounds of interviews.It was an amazing experience! I was working under a research scientist, who had a phd from the Massachusetts Institute of technology. She was very nice to me, teaching me every small details of what it takes to work at big companies. She understood that my college did not equip me with certain skills and taught me things like sending emails and communication.After my internship i had learnt how to approach a particular problem. I had learnt how people look and analyze the problem and look for solutions. I think that is one of the most important thing a fresh college graduate would have to know. I now have a direction on what to do in order to grow in my career.My manager took a lot of interest in my growth and managed me very well. Any time i was struck she would help me solve my problem amd get the work done. She would teach me how she would have done that task and make me think in way i get to the solution. She always assigned me tasks that were manageable for me and saw that i was able to solve the problem. She has spent a lot Time explaining things and answering all my questions. She patiently cleared all my doubts and explained anything i asked her. It was very nice that she spent so much time with me inspute of her busy schedule.One of the most interesting part of the internship is meetings with high profile people at amazon. I was able to attend meetings with AVPs who shared their views and talked about the future of our products. I attended meetings with Mr. Narsi Narasiman one of the first engineers of kindle..Amazon the company itself looks after its employees amd helps them to grow in their careers. All of us have a mentor who would advise us trends in the industry. They would tell us what has to be done, to be able to climb the career ladder.The work timings were lenient and there was wasn't a strict timing. I had to work about 40 hrs a week to achieve my targets. I got to learn a lot of things and my manager always empathized on learning during the internship. She was very helpful in helping me learn and improve.The office had good recreational facilities with table tennis, snooker and fooz ball in the playing area.These are some of the photos of my office.Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. I am very glad that i have learnt a lot from the internship. I am very thankful for my manager who guided me through out the internship.Adding this answer for people who want to know how to apply for amazon :Sailesh Morkonda's answer to How can a CSE fourth year student apply for Amazon?And this answer.Sailesh Morkonda's answer to What should you know before your Amazon internship starts?

What surprised you about the Indian government's budget presented by Nirmala Sitharaman?
What surprised you about the Indian government's budget presented by Nirmala Sitharaman?Completly awestruck by the way, Nirmala Sithraman started by her maiden budget by telling Purananooru.Purananooru is a Tamil work made by Pisiranthayar. She said a verse from it and asked meaning for it from DMK lads. Since they don’t know meaning they smiled and Madam Nirmala Sithraman explains it.Now this is where Anti-DMK kannis get happy. They are so happy that DMK didn’t answer. But wait, what’s the truth? Our Nirmala Mam has practised it 4 times and mugged it up so that she can present it before her budget. Fact is, without memorizing nobody knows the meaning. You go to a random tamil guy ask them the meaning, they will simply look at you like anything because they are Tamils, not Tamil scholars.Fine, second part. 1% cess on fuels. Madam knows where to hit the middle class. In their stomach and day to day usage. Already, the petrol price touched 89–90 last year and this year since BJP is so poor to afford for the poor, they kept their hands in middle class stomach. An average middle class man spends 2–3 k for petrol and now it will hurt him more because the extra 1 cess is per one liter. We are already paying 100% as tax on petrol and now extra 1% cess. BJP fanboy says “I’m ready to pay if it is for the poor”. You pay why should we? We are already paying enough taxes to the government in the name of income tax, professional tax, road tax, entertainment tax. Please introduce tax for pooping more than 3 times a day too because since you hit us in the stomach, this will also help the poor.So these taxes are not enough?I put petrol for rupees 200 and it lasts for 2 days. I use it to go to my office,class and all those stuff. “Please use government buses” - BJP fanboys. Do you know how the buses are here? Do you know how much crowded it gets? Why should I bear more pain? An average middle class man gets hit a lot by these people because of their budget. Already we are paying 100’s of taxes and we don’t know what the government does because the roads are still shit. It is full of potholes and we can’t even drive. We pay road tax when we buy a vechicle and the we pay road tax in petrol and finally the roads are like hell. It is difficult to get a job and we get a job and finally you take professional tax and income tax.It is hard to buy jewels these days for marriage and for a normal middle class to get 20 or 30 soveriegns of gold for their daughter’s marriage will now be a dream because additional tax on Gold too. Already the gold is extremely high and now this. When will the government focus on middle class? So the rich will get richer and the poor will become poorer.Irony is that it was you people who came to power saying that Congress is keeping hands in people’s activites and now you are doing this. Remember how you protested? What is this hypocrisy?.(Image source : Google)Fine, after all we middle class can only talk. You can easily make us anti-national.This is a failed budget and this will create massive impacts and many jobs will be surely lost because of this.I think they will keep hands on RBI and borrow money from them !Edit 1 :Answer to Why did no one talk about the massive layoffs happening in the Indian manufacturing industries during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections? by Navin Niish (நவீன் நீஷ்) Navin Niish (நவீன் நீஷ்)'s answer to Why did no one talk about the massive layoffs happening in the Indian manufacturing industries during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections?Inflation, Cheap internet pricesWait what?Can you eat internet? keep facebook as side dish?Inflation is there and prices are rising - is it under control? NoFor example :loads and loads of stuff are risen including vegetable oils, sunflower oilsIn 2014 - gold winner was 70 rupees now it is 94All the necessary items have risen up.For instance in 2011 and 2012 - 9000 was sufficient to run my family now 80k is not sufficient because of increase of pricesThere is no jobsAuto sector is dead Million Jobs In Danger: Priyanka Gandhi Slams "BJP Government's Silence"These five factors have created painful downturn for India’s automobile industrySlowdown in auto sales: 10-15% people lost jobs in auto component industryAgricultural sector is dyingIndia lost 11 million jobs in 2018, rural areas worst hit: CMIEThey say Jobs are being created but where is the actual data there is nothing happening.Jet airways - deadBSNL - deadHAL - will die soonThe government is not focusing on public sectorsPeople are just happy with a failed budget.NO new IIM’s or IIT’sNo 33% proposed women reservationConstruction sector is already dead and no jobs for civil engineers.Where is this going?People are busy fighting over Jai Shri RamPeople are busy with lynchingPeople are busy with justifyingWe don’t care because we want hindu nationalism and ram rajya than development.I want Hindu nationalism and Ram Rajya too but without development and no improvement they are purely garbageChanging the names of cities can be accepted if they change the way the people’s living standardsManmohan Singh vs Narendra Modi: The real India growth storyIndia clocked 10.08 per cent growth under Manmohan Singh's tenure: ReportNow with the RTI bill we can’t even know what the government is doing.I’m very happy to support one of the finest governments under Narendra Modi but loads of things are there and they are alarming.Edit 2 :I think they will keep hands on RBI and borrow money from them ! - I predicted it !!!!!

What made you resign from your previous job?
My manager and her crony.[Long answer but worth it.]I don’t go anonymous so bear with me. I won't be disclosing the company name publicly. I believe building a brand takes decades, it shouldn't be maligned because of few employees.Resigning from a job is not a knee jerk reaction for any sane employee. There occurs a series of unjust treatments over which employee loses all control, which when crossed threshold one capable takes decision to move on.In jan of 2016 I joined a company in Domlur Bangalore after quitting Wipro. I chose this company over 7 offers. I took this decision after readin...

Which medium multirole fighter aircraft should India opt for in order to replace the existing MIG-21's?
Look at the above picture.The Gripen E is not under one flag, It’s parts are imported from OEMs based in:USA(Substantially High)GermanyBritainCzech RepublicCanadaSouth AfricaSo all major IPRs are hold by these foreign OEMs which signifies the following:India has to negotiate with following OEMs outside sweden for ToT.It’s not possible to negotiate with all of them for ToT and manufacturing line also all these OEMs will agree for ToT is not a cent percent probability either, which signifies that the so called “Advance Manufacturing Facility” in India will be a Final assembly line just like Rafale , something we have been doing for past 6 decades or so.The Biggest Fool we are being made of is that Gripen-E isn’t even ready yet, Gripen-E had it’s maiden flight last month. I was astonished by excitement created by Indians on prototype flying, had it been Tejas, defence blogs, journalist had been filling pages to prove it’s piece of $hit. But that’s not case for Gripen, Shows typical “Gora skin Superior syndrome” mentality prevalent in India society, nevertheless back to topic. This proves two things:Gripen-E is neither battle Proven, criteria which we indians often try to impose on indigenous weapons to prove them inferior.Nor is it ready. It’s still a prototype.Gripen is in similar condition to Eurofighter typhoon in MMRCA deal.F-16 on the contrary defies all these logics, though it has it’s fare share of complexities as stated below:If some recent news is to be trusted then F-16 or Gripen both have got some more challenge from IAF:“Recent media reports say that a Senior Test Pilots of Indian Air Force hit out at Modi government on India flirting with ideas to procure either F-16 and Gripen-E of which both had failed under MMRCA technical trials hints at discord in Indian Air Force regarding the purchase of Single-engine fighter jet tender. Unnamed Senior Test Pilot of Indian Air Force who was part of Original MMRCA technical trials where both F-16IN and Gripen NG failed miserable called F-16 as Obsolete in terms of technology and growth potential of the air frame already has signNowed its peak a decade back and current offer of ” Block 70 ” is just glorified Block 50/52 Air frame with Block 60 Techs. Test Pilot also confirmed that Lockheed Martin technical deficiencies highlighted by Indian Air Force in detail after MMRCA technical trials are still not been addressed yet by the OEM and Limited technical trials which IAF plans to carry out to check same technical performance shortfalls recorded in last trials will again expose this deficiency in technical parameters. The pilot also lambasted Saab’s Gripen-E and added that Gripen-E is still uncompleted aircraft and carries many prototype equipment which is still under testing stages and it will take some time before aircraft will gain full operational status while airframe limitations of the aircraft will still presists to overcome failures recorded under MMRCA technical trials. Many Defence Analysts have criticised Government for flirting with ideas to build F-16s in India when the world over F-16s are been retired due to technological limitations. Analysts have hit out at the government since any order for F-16s could purely be to create a business opportunity for certain government friendly Industrial giants in India who are making a foray in defence sector to fulfil PM Modi’s ” Make In India ” in the Defence sector. Another section of Defence Analysts has also criticized Government for ignoring Homegrown fighter aircraft like LCA-Tejas MKII and 5th Generation AMCA Projects which are still in drawing board due to lack of commitment and support shown by the present government. Purchase of F-16 or Gripen can have serious implication for India’s Tejas MKII which analysts believe could be scrapped in favor of additional orders for this jet in future.”(footnote: http://idrw.org/iaf-test-pilots-... .)Even if I suppose this report is fake still there are many questions that questions this deal itself.Further,Lets start one by one from all recent interviews and articles from LM representative and Westerrn Defense analysts:“India traditionally drives a hard bargain for technology transfers or demand expansive offsets that the US will unlikely concede such as state-of-the-art engine, AESA, and other technologies. Rather than drive a traditional Indian bargain on these items for the sake of tightly controlled and restricted licenses, by getting their foot in the door with the F-16IN program, India can indigenously develop many marketable add-ons, upgrades, and system integration that do not compete with offerings US firms.”(http://www.indiandefensenews.in/...)Now i don’t think atleast without AESA radar the deal is going to get signed if “Make in India” is truly be considered.“India operate the biggest fleet of Russian/Soviet fighters in the world, and is a major operator (one of the biggest after France) of French fighters. No one, presently, have the capability and motive to network these planes together into a combat cloud. To do so, they have to have the combination of critical mass (units operating or on order), experience operating / supporting them, technological base, and incentive / motive to do so. Chinese or Russians are not going to network US or European planes. French will do US/European, but not Russian or Chinese gear. US can integrate European (including French), but will not work on Russian or Chinese kit. Countries that do operate or intend to buy large fleets of European, American and Russian aircraft like Saudi Arabia, UAE or Iran do not have the technical capability of India in software and communications, the familiarity and logistical support of having operated aircraft from Europe, Russia/USSR, and USA when the F-16 deal goes through.Israel in theory have the technical capability, but not the critical mass or the motive to do so without an export customer. For Israeli arms makers, amortizing the cost over one customer (except India) is difficult when India can do much of the work themselves.Beyond this is integration of aircraft, there is the problem of mating platforms into resources from space to air to sea and undersea. i.e. air defense systems, command and control networks, land or sea based SAMs and ECM resources, etc. which hardly anyone is interested in working with the hodgepodge of older gear that India has in abundance and is familiar with.”Now SU-30 is to be the mainstay of IAF for atleast 2 decades or so. So, if uncle sam is not interested in networking the F-16 with russian a/c or even weapons that might be turn off for The lion of Make in india.“The wording of the deal which was signed at the Paris Air Show is very clear—it states only the “intent to partner together to meet India’s Make-in-India requirement through the establishment of an F-16 production line in India”. The most obvious takeaway from this is that the deal is not a firm agreement to manufacture the F-16 in India, but only a letter of intent to assemble the plane in India if and when the Indian Air Force (IAF) chooses that platform.The downside of this, for India, is that by some estimates, less than 40% of the F-16 is actually Lockheed technology. The remaining 60% is proprietary technology owned by hundreds of sub-systems manufacturers spread across the globe. This means that about 60% of the F-16 technology remains unavailable to India unless its signs deals with each of the hundreds and possibly thousands of sub-component manufacturers, some of whom are based in countries like Turkey that are less than enthusiastic about India.The F-16 engine, for example, belongs to another US company: General Electric. Its core crystal-blade technology is off limits to even the closest US allies. Also, given the slow growth of new engines globally and considering that India’s stated aim is to become a competitor, it hardly suits GE’s business interests to transfer such technology to India.”If all above three points are considered than this deal doesn’t sound much different than Indo-Russia SU-30 deal. Then for a similar deal it makes no sense to strain the decades long Indo-Russian relationship.Here comes the LM representatives kicker:”FP: Do they have to be engineers? Lockheed: No, I mean people who have been trained through an ITI or equivalent technical training institution with a diploma. That’s a large amount of the workforce and it’s pretty similar in the US also. Then you need entry level engineers, designers, supply chain managers, software engineers, hardware engineers, supply chain integrators, business people - the whole spectrum. You also need skilled technicians and engineers for testing the systems, the worthiness of the aircraft itself. You start with technician level and then you have people at all of these levels. You would need systems engineers and industrial engineers who understand process flow and production line - so various kinds of engineers at every level and business managers who can understand both the flow of equipment and flow of money. This is like bringing up a whole new industry. Working with a company like TATA and TASL means they already have a lot of the processes understood which is a big benefit.”(F-16: What It Takes To Build This Fighter Plane In India)Only ITI and production facility based engineers, an production facility which being from the leading manufacturer will be atleast 50% if not less automated, raises questions:How many jobs for a automated facility like this? even if you say it will have the entire production facility and not just final assembly.What about R&D? as nothing mentioned about researchers, PHDWhy change of plans by LM about making India” the only manufacturer” to transferring only texas line to India and making india “one of the many manufacturer” needs to be addressed? Is this done to keep Pakistan safe or better word “to keep the Pakistani market safe.”INFERENCE:1.Whosoever wins, it’s not going to help much about the ongoing indigenous projects, probability may be it can curtail them.SAAB has only one strong point for TOT GaAn AESA radar, unfortunately that point too is diluted after DRDO has came up with the theory of same and IISC Bangalore starting it’s own GaAN manufacturing furnance. The only way it helps is India gets a private aerospace assembly line.2.The so called propaganda of ToT telling that it should be so signNow that it can be used to create India’s own fighter, or say India’s own LM/SAAB, forget it, no sane OEM will create a competitor of it’s own, So better get A$$ out of couch and start spending on R&D, there are no shortcuts.3.It’s always not just the technical aspects but the political advantage you gain with such mega deals, Gripen has nothing to offer on this aspect tooCOCLUSIONS:A> Logic prevails: F-16 winsB> Friendship prevails: Gripen winsMY CONCLUSION: You can spend 18 damn Bn $ on a foreign fighter, your pen stops writting when allocating funds to LCA. I would personally favour LCA Mk-2 over both considering each and every above mentioned aspect anyday.Thanks for A2A.EDIT 1(TO Gaurav Verma ):According to your logic if he have to favour Adani or Ambani he would have aked them to invest in their company instead of Kaveri.I don’t understand why people in India hate Bussinesmens, the word Baniya is used as derogatory remark like we are doing some crime by earning profits. If this mentality doesn’t change and Indian govt contined trying models of commumist states in our democracy we will get results like Venezuel not China.I never told i hate businesses or businessman. I have serious reservation against just Adani . I will explain:Look at the below given picture:You know what this is?This is DPP-2016 CHAPTER-7: The Strategic Partnership ModelThe following are the criterias for an SP:1.Financial capability.2.Technology capability for Heavy Engineering manufacturing.Adani group is in a great deal of Debt already.Adani group doesn’t have any experience in Heavy Engineeering manufacturing let alone defense.KSSL, Mahindra Aerospace, L&T defence, TATA(Also Dyanamatic technologies) are in either Aerospace/heavy engineering manufacturing or both businesses for more than a decade now also Ambani have been operating RDEL since 1997.When there is a student working hard for years for a upcoming exam and suddenly a friend of examiner is selected for next round w/o giving exam, how will you feel?Then how will you quantify the fact that a SP was allowed fairly even defying all the given points in SP?Choice is yours!
