Sneha Debnath. 19 years old. Math student at DU. Doing a course with IIT Madras. Interning with an Australian firm.

She came from Tripura to Delhi with dreams bigger than her age. Studying hard, earning her own money, never asking anyone for help. Her LinkedIn said she loved maths, computers, and anime. Just a normal, brilliant girl chasing a better life.
 
Yesterday, she was found dead in the Yamuna.
Her family called her an “overachiever.” But behind that word is a painful reality, of a generation that feels they must do everything, all at once, just to feel “enough.” Two courses. One job. One life. No time to breathe. And nobody really asks: Are you okay?
 
How many Snehas are quietly drowning in expectations right now?

This isn’t just tragic, it’s terrifying. If a girl this talented, this driven, couldn’t find space to be heard, what does that say about us?

How many Snehas are quietly drowning in expectations right now?

Show me the money! Let's talk compensation and hustle.

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I am working as a Consultant and my salary range is 17LPA, and i am searching for a girl for my marriage.
But after calculating every risk, like living in a metro city(Pune) together:
House rent is around 25k
Grocery 10k
Car EMI 8-9k
Maids 10K
Petrol 5k
Some MF for future: 25-30k
Other expenses: 20-30 k(Including sofa, utensils, maintenance of house and guest)

I am not in love, going to do arrange a marriage, so asking frankly apart from looks, what should be the mandatory package of a girl to survive in a metro city?

Please suggest!  What salary should I expect from my wife?

Kap’s Café was targeted in a shooting incident in which multiple gunshots were fired at the establishment.

After hearing the recent Kapil Sharma Cafe news, honestly, I’m rethinking the whole Canada dream. 
Whether it’s for a job, education, or launching a startup, maybe it’s time to pause and think twice.

Why not invest in India instead? This is our home, with immense opportunities and growth waiting for us.
“सारे जहाँ से अच्छा, हिंदुस्तान हमारा!”

Don't go to Canada...Not for Jobs, Studies, or Startups!

My friend cracked a top MBA. Landed a dream role. First few months, he was giving it everything. Long hours, proactive ideas, trying to learn fast.

But slowly, he realized the truth. He wasn’t growing, just getting better at chasing deadlines. His manager barely gave feedback. Promotions went to favourites. The work? Same slide, different title.

One night he told me, “I don’t even hate my job but I feel like I’m wasting my best years doing nothing that matters.” Since then i have been thinking about what he said. Because honestly, so many of us are quietly stuck, not unhappy enough to quit, not excited enough to grow.

No advice, yaar. Just felt like sharing this. Maybe you’ve felt the same? Yahi ghissi pitti life hai kya?

Job mil gayi, career kaha hai?

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Last night, I came home feeling really frustrated after a last-minute meeting at work. I rang the doorbell and saw my husband looking happy because he got a new project thanks to his hard work. 

He was telling me how much praise he got at work and how his career is moving forward. But I suddenly lost my patience and shouted .............SHUTUP, I’m not happy right now ................too much frustrated and I don’t want to hear about your achievements. Just leave me alone.

He looked surprised, and I walked away from the room. Since then, it’s been quiet between us................no hugs or support. And I am wondering why?

If he can share his happiness, why can’t I share my frustration? Being partners means understanding each other, no matter what. 
Why the silence? Not everyone has a good day every day. Sometimes, you just need someone to ask how you are feeling before talking.
