In between work, there were regular sessions conducted by the University relations team, one of them being the visit to the Fulfillment center of Amazon in the suburbs of Bangalore. It was a tiring as well as a memorable experience as I had not seen such volumes of items stacked in such way before. It was huge. Scan, Enter, Dispatch. Every counter with conveyer belts were able to do this at a lightning fast speed. I almost picked up a smartphone just being scanned in front of me, but came back to my ethical self soon enough. The sessions with the Amazon India CEO, Amit Aggarwal, was also enlightening in many ways.
The fun part of the internship was the IPL match, we had gone to watch, courtesy Amazon. It was RCB vs Mumbai and in home ground RCB were huge favorites. All the interns were so enthu during the match and it was actually a very good way of knowing interns from other campuses, figuring out where their loyalties lie.
Just as I was starting to settle down, came the review week and it dawned on me that it was time to leave. It just all happened in a jiffy. So much chaos, so much work, so many challenges, so many new people, but it came back to order in the end, everything made sense suddenly. But it was time to leave.
Oh when I look back now..
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice..
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life….(*The last line may be a little exaggerated, but that’s the song!)
Adios!
