One thing I observe is that my unemployed female friends live a little happier lives than the employed ones.
One of my friends completed her MBA like I did and is not doing any job now.
Just living her life to the fullest by exploring different cities, having fun, etc. Obviously, her parents are rich.
But regardless of how rich a boy's parents are, there is unsaid pressure on boys to earn well; basically, they can only live their lives till college. Afterwards society doesn't let them enjoy without self earned money.
🚨 The promotion I worked 8 years for almost destroyed me.
2025: Finally promoted to Senior Manager - ₹28 LPA.
Everyone congratulated me. Parents were proud. I thought I had “arrived”.
6 months later:
• 14–16 hour days became normal
• Missed my daughter’s first school function
• Panic attacks before meetings
• Health collapsed (BP, sugar, anxiety)
• Marriage started falling apart
One day I had a breakdown in the office washroom.
I resigned the same week - no new job ready.
Today (2 months later): Running a small AI service for Punjab businesses from home.
Earning less, but sleeping peacefully, spending time with family, and actually living.
The promotion I chased became the cage I built.
Have you ever achieved something big that quietly ruined your life?
HR: We lost the employee today.
Manager: What happened?
HR: He resigned immediately.
Manager: Over a desktop background?
HR: Yes.
Manager: That makes no sense. It was a simple policy issue.
HR: It was not simple to him.
Manager: He changed the company wallpaper to a family photo at the beach.
HR: Yes, and when I asked him why, he said it motivated him during long hours.

Arranged marriages are scary af.
This one girl from my hometown who wears specs ended up getting eye surgery because the guy said she couldn't marry the girl who is "chashmish" and also changed herself a lot just for that one guy. Two months ago the guy agreed to marry her; the family met with each other, and everything got decided. Everything was smooth until today.
Today he called off the wedding just because he found someone else more beautiful and good-looking.
Girls, please don't change yourselves for a random guy.

@BlueStarCare We recently purchased an AC of your brand a week back. Since we got it installed it makes a lot noise whenever turned on. We have tried contacting the customer service but no on responds to us after we send them all the details they ask for.
