Suraj had joined the company only three days ago. Like most newcomers, he was still figuring out where the meeting rooms were, which coffee machine actually worked, and how long it would take before people stopped introducing themselves with their job titles. That afternoon, he walked into the cafeteria carrying a tray and looking for an empty seat. “Hey, new guy!” someone called out.

It’s already 8.50am. I got stuck in the traffic, and I doubt I would be on time for the meeting by 9.30am.

It’s actually a workshop, and it’s going to be conducted by Mr Vinod . THE AWESOME VINOD .
Usually, on Sundays we get breakfast and dinner from outside instead of preparing at home. We know a nice place from where we usually get the breakfast, but yesterday we wanted to try some new place. After searching around for 30 minutes we finally found a new tiffin center. I went to the shop and asked the person sitting at cash counter what I want, and she repeated my order loudly to the people…

THIS IS JUST FOR FUN, Not meant to be taken seriously
I want to be successful in my career. Who doesn’t? Everyone wants to be successful. But sometimes we don’t know how to deal with a problem, then we seek advice from others like our elders or books etc. A lot of people, especially youngsters, try to read books which can be broadly categorized into Personality Development or Self Help books to become a better person.

In India, there is a news channel called TVx. Whenever they don’t have any other interesting news to grab people attention, they start telecasting their all-time favorite programs like Is the world is going to end in 2048? or Is Mayan’s prediction about world ending is right? or Is IT employees are suffering from psychological problems? etc. In the same way, some websites keep writing…
Having some fun is absolutely necessary in these COVID-19 times to relax a bit :-)
A year ago I was in Germany (Berlin) and it was a beautiful Saturday evening. I was alone and feeling bored. Then I suddenly remembered about a book my friend recommended to me, specifically one particular story. I picked up the book and start reading the story my friend suggested.
