I resigned at noon. Checked out by evening. And returned the next morning to complete a formality. What happened next stunned me.

The Six Colleagues You Wish You’d Never Met
Not all workplace villains wear capes. Some carry clipboards and a lousy attitude. In every office, you’ll find those few people who quietly (or not so quietly) pull the culture down. They’re everywhere. And sometimes, we all risk becoming one of them.
Here’s a tribute to the man who taught me that real power never has to prove itself. If you read just one story this week, make it this one.
The Weight You Didn’t Know Your Parents Carried
Did you, like me, think that our childhood was simpler because life was simpler back then? I’ve now realised something that changed how I look at those years. I think you may want to read this.
A Loss That Never Heals
On my way to work earlier this week, I got a call from an old friend—a few years senior in college—someone I hadn’t spoken to in a while. His voice carried a weight I couldn’t quite place at first. What he said left me stunned.
The Middle Ground: Why It’s Okay Not to Pick Sides

Your Voice, My Choice






- Erwin Schrodinger
This is what Rajen does in his blog. Picks up everyday instances of lived experiences and presents a thought around them that is eye opening. I particularly remember a part of his writing when he mentioned two of his interactions with Mr V Krishnamurthy 4 years apart. And he said how the gentleman remembered his name. Rajen then presented a thought that changed my idea of relationships, he said Mr V Krishnamurthy remembered a young Rajen from a meeting 4 years ago not because Rajen was important or the person had a great memory. Mr Krishnamurthy remembered Rajen because he cared. I love reading his blogs for such invaluable insights. His interpretation of everyday interactions that can change the way we live life is something all of us can learn from.

Two Journeys I Will Never Forget (And What They Taught Me)

When Helping Backfires, What Do You Do
Have you ever tried to help someone, only to end up burnt in the process? It stings. It makes you wonder: should you ever bother stepping in again?
The Dream I Didn’t Get—And the One I Did
When I started writing my weekend reflections here, they took 6–7 minutes to read. Then 4–5. Now, for the past year, I’ve kept them under 3. In an attention-deficit world, why use a thousand words when a few hundred will do? This is my shortest nugget yet—perhaps fitting, given its focus.
From Stage Fright to Facing a Thousand Young Minds
A year ago, the idea of being alone on stage made me uncomfortable. Last week, I stood before a thousand students and loved every moment of it. So, what changed?
Not All Job Losses Are Unfair. Some Are Inevitable
Some job losses aren’t unfair. They’re just… inevitable. Not because of a layoff. Not because of leadership change. But because of what we ignore until it’s too late. And deep down, many of us know it.
