Internship @ Start ups or MNC's???

Hello everyone .........

Interning at a large company provides you with a recognizable brand name and teaches you about how large organizations function. The perks are really nice, and there will be other interns to hang out with. Interning at a start up gives you more practical, transferable experience and allows you to see the inner workings of an entire (small) company.

During my internship at start up I got to learn many new things which definitely leveraged my skills and exposure to clients. The Induction Programme was outstanding. Deep Involvement of Industry Mentors and expert people for duration of 1 week. We were a team of Six Interns and everybody was assigned with multiple projects simultaneously. Exposure to client facing and one to one meeting with vendors, clients and negotiation practices.

We were strictly following action plan on daily basis and giving outputs at the end of the day.
For starting your career , I think all should have a work experience in a start up, then you can use that experience as a stepping stone to your career.

Work Experience (Project)

At a large company, your assignments or projects are likely to be contained within the scope of the team of which you are a member, and likely to some subsection of that scope that has been chosen for you. You might even have one specific isolated project that you work on by yourself or with some input from one or two other people for the duration of your internship. As a result, you can get a lot of depth in that one area, and at the end of the internship, you’ll hopefully have some cohesive unit of work you can demonstrate, show off, and talk about in the future, but you won’t have had any exposure to much else that’s going on in the company or even on your team.

At a start up, you could have an experience as described above for a big company, but I’d say you’re much more likely to have a more haphazard set of smaller tasks or projects that come up over the course of the summer. Start ups’ product plans tend to be a lot more fluid, and that certainly plays a big role in this. You’re much less likely to know what project you’ll be working on months before you start, and you’re much more likely to have that project change when you’re half-way through it. Additionally, team boundaries are a lot more hazy at a Start up, so you’ll probably find yourself doing lots of different types of work, and you’ll get exposure to a lot more of the company.

Social

At a big company with lots of other interns, you’re more likely to make lots of intern friends and hang out with them (particularly if you’re living in corporate housing and going to the company-organized intern events). It’s really awesome to be able to meet other students your age from schools all over the world, and a lot of people find close friends. On the other hand, because there’s a more clear intern/full-time barrier line at larger companies, you probably won’t spend much time hanging out will full-timers outside of the office.

When you intern at a Start up, most of the people you interact with are likely to be at least a few years older than you. You probably won’t spend as much time outside of work interacting with your co-workers because there won’t be as many interns to hang out with, but if you manage to befriend some full-time employees, hanging out with them can be a lot of fun (and different from being around people your own age).

Perks

Larger companies tend to have more perks (though Start ups are definitely catching up). For example, at Facebook interns enjoyed company iPhones, three delicious meals every day (and four on Nacho Wednesday), free laundry (with folding) and dry cleaning, corporate housing (should you choose to take it), shuttles all over the Bay Area, subsidized gym membership, a bike subsidy, and up to $1000 to spend on airfare among many others. I was also able to get a customized ergonomic setup at my desk which did wonders for my comfort during the work day.

Some Start ups are catching up, but there’s a certain scale at which a company needs to be at before things like an on-site culinary team or a shuttle service make sense. You’ll probably be finding your own housing, figuring out how to get to the office on your own, doing your own laundry, and maybe going out and buying your lunch every day.

So friends Choose the right path ............

1. Joining Both Palms Together To Greet

In Hindu culture, people greet each other by joining their palms – termed as “Namaskar.” The general reason behind this tradition is that greeting by joining both the palms means respect. However, scientifically speaking, joining both hands ensures joining the tips of all the fingers together; which are denoted to the pressure points of eyes, ears, and mind. Pressing them together is said to activate the pressure points which helps us remember that person for a long time.

2. Throwing Coins Into A River

The general reasoning given for this act is that it brings Good Luck. However, scientifically speaking, in the ancient times, most of the currency used was made of copper unlike the stainless steel coins of today. Copper is a vital metal very useful to the human body. Throwing coins in the river was one way our fore-fathers ensured we intake sufficient copper as part of the water as rivers were the only source of drinking water.

3. Applying Tilak/KumKum On The Forehead

On the forehead, between the two eyebrows, is a spot that is considered as a major nerve point in human body since ancient times. The Tilak is believed to prevent the loss of “energy”, the red ‘kumkum’ between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. While applying kumkum the points on the mid-brow region and Adnya-chakra are automatically pressed. This also facilitates the blood supply to the face muscles.

4. Why Do Temples Have Bells

People who are visiting the temple should and will Ring the bell before entering the inner sanctum (Garbhagudi or Garbha Gruha or womb-chamber) where the main idol is placed. According to Agama Sastra, the bell is used to give sound for keeping evil forces away and the ring of the bell is pleasant to God. However, the scientific reason behind bells is that their ring clears our mind and helps us stay sharp and keep our full concentration on devotional purpose. These bells are made in such a way that when they produce a sound it creates a unity in the Left and Right parts of our brains. The moment we ring the bell, it produces a sharp and enduring sound which lasts for minimum of 7 seconds in echo mode. The duration of echo is good enough to activate all the seven healing centres in our body. This results in emptying our brain from all negative thoughts.

5. Sitting On The Floor & Eating

This tradition is not just about sitting on floor and eating, it is regarding sitting in the “Sukhasan” position and then eating. Sukhasan is the position we normally use for Yoga asanas. When you sit on the floor, you usually sit cross legged – In sukhasana or a half padmasana (half lotus), which are poses that instantly bring a sense of calm and help in digestion, it is believed to automatically trigger the signals to your brain to prepare the stomach for digestion.

6. Why We Pierce Ear

Piercing the ears has a great importance in Indian ethos. Indian physicians and philosophers believe that piercing the ears helps in the development of intellect, power of thinking and decision making faculties. Talkativeness fritters away life energy. Ear piercing helps in speech-restraint. It helps to reduce impertinent behavior and the ear-channels become free from disorders.

7. Why Do We Fast

The underlying principle behind fasting is to be found in Ayurveda. This ancient Indian medical system sees the basic cause of many diseases as the accumulation of toxic materials in the digestive system. Regular cleansing of toxic materials keeps one healthy. By fasting, the digestive organs get rest and all body mechanisms are cleansed and corrected. A complete fast is good for heath, and the occasional intake of warm lemon juice during the period of fasting prevents the flatulence. Since the human body, as explained by Ayurveda, is composed of 80% liquid and 20% solid, like the earth, the gravitational force of the moon affects the fluid contents of the body. It causes emotional imbalances in the body, making some people tense, irritable and violent. Fasting acts as antidote, for it lowers the acid content in the body which helps people to retain their sanity. Research suggests there are major health benefits to caloric restriction like reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, immune disorders etc.

8. The Scientific Explanation Of Touching Feet (Charan Sparsh)

Usually, the person of whose feet you are touching is either old or pious. When they accept your respect which came from your reduced ego (and is called your shraddha) their hearts emit positive thoughts and energy (which is called their karuna) which reaches you through their hands and toes. In essence, the completed circuit enables flow of energy and increases cosmic energy, switching on a quick connect between two minds and hearts. To an extent, the same is achieved through handshakes and hugs. The nerves that start from our brain spread across all your body. These nerves or wires end in the fingertips of your hand and feet. When you join the fingertips of your hand to those of their opposite feet, a circuit is immediately formed and the energies of two bodies are connected. Your fingers and palms become the ‘receptor’ of energy and the feet of other person become the ‘giver’ of energy.

9. Why Married Women Apply Sindoor

It is interesting to note that that the application of sindoor by married women carries a physiological significance. This is so because Sindoor is prepared by mixing turmeric-lime and the metal mercury. Due to its intrinsic properties, mercury, besides controlling blood pressure also activates sexual drive. This also explains why Sindoor is prohibited for the widows. For best results, Sindoor should be applied right up to the pituitary gland where all our feelings are centered. Mercury is also known for removing stress and strain.

10. Why Do We Worship Peepal Tree

‘Peepal’ tree is almost useless for an ordinary person, except for its shadow. ‘Peepal’ does not a have a delicious fruit, its wood is not strong enough for any purpose then why should a common villager or person worship it or even care for it? Our ancestors knew that ‘Peepal’ is one of the very few trees (or probably the only tree) which produces oxygen even at night. So in order to save this tree because of its unique property they related it to God/religion.

11. Why Do We Worship Tulsi Plant

Hindu religion has bestowed ‘Tulsi’, with the status of mother. Also known as ‘Sacred or Holy Basil’, Tulsi, has been recognized as a religious and spiritual devout in many parts of the world. The vedic sages knew the benefits of Tulsi and that is why they personified it as a Goddess and gave a clear message to the entire community that it needs to be taken care of by the people, literate or illiterate. We try to protect it because it is like Sanjeevani for the mankind. Tulsi has great medicinal properties. It is a remarkable antibiotic. Taking Tulsi everyday in tea or otherwise increases immunity and help the drinker prevent diseases, stabilize his or her health condition, balance his or her body system and most important of all, prolong his or her life. Keeping Tulsi plant at home prevents insects and mosquitoes from entering the house. It is said that snakes do not dare to go near a Tulsi plant. Maybe that is why ancient people would grow lots of Tulsi near their houses.
