Daily Office Life

I just saw this viral reel of some Indian employees performing a full blown dance routine to welcome a foreign client.

It may seem fun to watch but I've never feel so embarrassed by just watching a video .

The immediate feeling that came into my mind was that even though the Britishers left decades ago, yet somehow there's still a slavery mindset among people.

I mean why do we need to seek so much validation and act like jokers or entertainers and not professionals.

I don't think they would've done the same for an Indian client.

And I am not hating fun or any culture but why are they trying to impress them in this way.

Naach vo rahe hain, Sharam mujhe aa rahi hai

News

Blinkit, backed by Zomato, has scaled its quick response ambulance service in Gurugram from 5 to 12 vehicles, covering almost half the city. They now reach 83% of emergencies within 10 minutes and have handled 594 calls so far, with half of them critical cases. Plus, they're launching in-house paramedic training to ensure quality care, not just speed

Agar aise opportunities aayein, kya aap aise kisi startup ke saath kaam karna pasand karenge?

Office Gossip

This is too bad behavior from a colleague.
I have a stress ball used to keep it on my desk; it has been with me for almost 3 years. 
Everyone knows it's my favorite thing on my desk; all my friends used to make fun of it.

Somebody stole it, and it's been missing for almost 5 days.

Please pray for my stress ball and abuse with me to that guy who has stolen it.....kheede pdenge tuje! 😭😭😭

Thief in my office !!!!!

🌧️ Tech, traffic, filter coffee — and startup dreams in every street.

Bengaluru

Never thought I’d say this out loud, but I’m done. Bengaluru is draining me.

Commute sucks. Traffic is a joke. Roads are nightmares.
And now the bike ban?  Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse…

Every day feels like I’m spending 3 hours of my life doing nothing but sitting in traffic and aging. Weather is great yes but what’s the point if I’m just stuck in the perimeter of my building? 

If I ever build a startup, Bengaluru won’t even be on the list.
In fact, I’d rather chill in Mumbai in my ac and have peace of mind. At least there’s a local train.

At this point, I’m even okay with taking a 50% paycut, if it means I get to leave this madness and work from a saner city.
(and no, not Delhi/NCR )

I’m serious. I need to escape.

Bengaluru ,I’m tired. Mentally, physically, emotionally.

Negotiation tactics, transparency issues, and real‑world pay comparisons.

Salary Discussions

Got a call from INK IT Solutions about a job. Talked roles, salary expectations (₹3.5–4.5 LPA with my 10 months tech support experience). Interview went okay. But when I asked regarding the budget of this role he denied 😂 and he said tell me your expected CTC. I felt like I can go upto 5-6 lpa CTC. 
But here’s the weird part: they asked for my masked Aadhaar (last 4 digits visible) and a selfie via email for verification! Felt super awkward.
The client company is NTT Data 
They also wanted: 
- Current company name 
- Current CTC ( 2.2 lpa ) 
- Expected CTC 
- Total experience 
- Relevant experience 
- Notice period time 
Verification is fine, but personal docs after just a call? Seemed unprofessional. especially without any formal confirmation or offer. 
Plus, their ratings are lower than my current company’s, which is kinda funny 😄.
 What do you all think? 🤣 👇🙏
