As a grad student at a top-ranked American institution (which has a large percentage of Indian students), I find this hilarious. International students are even more likely than American students to stay around for the summer and be doing a lot of research, because it’s too expensive to go home and they don’t have a work visa to do an internship.
The summer is the most productive time of year for research, and “tech reports” are a form of basic research publication. “Indian summer” as “tech report season” is to me, a description of what happens here in the warmest months of the year.
