Daily Masala: Edition #1

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP: 1. ServiceNow Interview Disaster - https://share.gvine.app/yPfdLxoKeMojQ6tF6 Honey, let me spill the tea. This candidate's experience with a ServiceNow interview is messier than my auntie's spice drawer. A fresher interviewing a senior? That's like a toddler teaching a chef how to cook biryani. ServiceNow, sweetie, it's time to get your act together before you become the joke of the IT industry. 2. Poker Math for the Geeks - https://share.gvine.app/puCYn1PLfHPspDKh9 Oh, lordy, poker and math combined? This is giving very much "I peaked in high school math club" vibes. I mean, if you enjoy calculating more than actually playing the game, maybe it's time to reconsider your hobbies. But who am I to judge? Maybe that's your idea of a wild Friday night. 3. A Call for Startup Ideas - https://share.gvine.app/vckFRV2ukci1RNtq7 Babe, resigning without a plan is like going to a wedding and hoping you'll catch the bouquet – optimistic but unrealistic. But I admire the hustle; shooting your shot on Grapevine for startup ideas is like Tinder for entrepreneurs. Just don't be surprised if you end up with a partner who thinks reinventing the chai is revolutionary. 4. Delhi Travel Precautions - https://share.gvine.app/MpSzohMM64wn3F1HA This is giving very much "my mom's WhatsApp forward" energy. But in all fairness, safety in Delhi is like finding a good samosa in Bangalore – nearly impossible. While I appreciate the caution, let's not normalize sending a full dossier every time we step out. Maybe just stick to the basics, or better yet, let's make our cities safer, shall we? 5. Sugarcane Juice > Alcohol Parties - https://share.gvine.app/9mtKHW8kBqt6Mpg5A Finally, someone said it! Why are we glorifying alcohol when we can party healthily? I'm all for replacing beer with sugarcane juice, but let's not pretend like we'll stick to this plan once "Gallan Goodiyaan" starts playing. Still, cheers to the idea – it's sweet, both literally and figuratively. 6. Rahul Gandhi's Employment Plan - https://share.gvine.app/c5JbZA9j3JFckzAG8 Oh, Rahul, always the dreamer with plans as realistic as my chances of marrying Ranveer Singh. Promising money for watching reels? That's not a job strategy; that's called being a Gen Z with too much time. How about focusing on real employment solutions, or is that too mainstream? 7. Max Salary for 20-Year IT Experience - https://share.gvine.app/7mEb8DnZB3LNYn9N6 Asking for the max salary in IT is like asking how spicy is too spicy – it's subjective, darling. But let's be real, the IT market is more unpredictable than my mood on a diet. So, aim high but maybe don't start planning your mansion just yet. 8. Arrogant IITs Not Getting Jobs - https://share.gvine.app/xBHQYM5AxDxE6JHS Saying IIT grads are arrogant is like saying water is wet – we've all met that one guy who won't shut up about JEE ranks. But let's not generalize; not all IITians are boastful, and not all non-IITians are humble. It's about skill, not the label on your degree. 9. The Beauty of Tech Projects - https://share.gvine.app/62rBG77cHN9xF1r38 This is the tech equivalent of finding your tribe. Working with a dream team on projects you love is rarer than a peaceful family WhatsApp group. It's beautiful, it's pure, and it's about as common as understanding your privacy settings on the first try. 10. The Indian FAANG Roadmap - https://share.gvine.app/5gBHzBjHrBDGoR7v8 Oh, the classic FAANG cycle – from aspirational YouTuber to disillusioned course creator. It's like the startup version of a Bollywood movie: predictable, dramatic, and with an inevitable downfall. But hey, if you can't join 'em, teach 'em (for a small fee, of course).' Oh, the drama on Grapevine never fails to entertain. Whether it’s the hilariously out-of-touch interview processes, the nerdfest of math-heavy poker strategies, or ambitious claims in politics and business, Grapevine serves it up fresh and hot daily. It’s the perfect blend of reality check and escapism. Always insightful, often hilarious, and occasionally face-palm worthy – keep the posts coming! What’s next, Grapevine? We're all ears!

Hey Folks, Happy Friday! Hope the week was awesome for most of you and bearable for others. Grapevine had about over 600 posts in the last week. Thought of sharing some of the best ones to make for a nice weekend reading. Here’s a recap of the best moments on Grapevine: 1) Linkedin Gyaanis should be Banned by @AvgRasmalaiEnjoyer : Some of the funniest stuff we read this week, some harsh truth bombs were dropped all over 💣 https://share.gvine.app/9NpDNLwGMsQXbwhy9 2) Is rags to riches real ? Anyone on Grapevine changed his financial status drastically ? by @RashOrient64 : The most heart warming comment section ever, some of the most inspiring stories of growth and people who have made it in their own way 📈 https://share.gvine.app/EpFH97nngeJMtL1f6 3) Comment “Overpaid” and get some gyaan by @salt : @salt does it again with the meme of the week 🥴 https://share.gvine.app/i16Rgyqt2htruBUU6 4) Recruiters are Wylin by @BlandMetal88 : Nothing much to see here folks, the best of Linkedin Cringe continues to be pretty cringy 😬 https://share.gvine.app/MkNJUEDf9Yb5yQc18 5) Where are you working from? by @ElomDusk himself : Top Poll of the Week, almost 76% of the users are either purely working from home or hybrid - I think this might be why we see continued activity on Grapevine 🤣 https://share.gvine.app/UFFRTPKF3M9APbuD9 There’s more, but I’m calling it a week. Feel free to share your best moments in the comments below or add if I ended up missing something major 🙈 Have a great weekend everyone! :)

How did you come to know about it? What made you download it? And why are you still using it? Building anything in social is so hard. I want to know how they got the users.

Yahan pe likh deta hoon toh mann halka ho jata hai badi achchi jagah hai especially unke liye those who are not so extroverted kya tumko bhi aisa mehsoos hota hai?

Stumbled upon this app called “Spilll” today—it’s like a secret hangout for corporate chatter. It’s audio-based, so you can just talk out your thoughts on stuff and somehow still stay anonymous, which is pretty cool. There are these fun prompts like: - “What’s the best way to deal with ‘that’ coworker who always overshares?” - “What do you really want to say when your boss asks you ‘how’s everything going’?” If you’re into sharing your unfiltered opinions without anyone knowing it’s you, you might wanna check it out. Here’s the link: https://spilll.app/ And if you need an access code: 500101

It’s therapeutic because you can share different aspects of your life that you can’t talk about on other platforms. For instance, you can't criticize the Ola CEO on LinkedIn, demand justice for the Kolkata rape case on Twitter without getting a notice from the Kolkata police, or express unhappiness on Instagram because that’s not the vibe of that platform. But on Grapevine, you can do all of this and more. Funny enough, I’ve been able to analyze different aspects of my personality (and all my different personalities). My brain works a lot, I talk a lot, and I think a lot. Over the past year, I've realized I see things very differently than how society, media, or authorities expect me to. Grapevine has been a tool for understanding myself better. I can share a thought, and maybe 15 people will respond—some agreeing, some disagreeing, and a few might even call me names. But that’s okay, that’s just how they function. All part of self-discovery. Another thing I appreciate about Grapevine is that it removes the halo effect we often have. Our names, colleges, and companies are masked (some who haven't revealed them), reducing the blurring of judgments. We connect with people on a more human-to-human level. Grapevine is great if you're looking to find a partner, lover, or simply make new friends and expand your network. You can be yourself, and the people who know you here often know you better than those you meet at college, work, or even within your family.

Is it just me or there has been a sudden surge of activity on grapevine? Posts are getting more comments.

Hey folks, help me out a little here please. We were trying to rewrite the copy on our App Store and Play store pages. So instead of writing what I know about Grapevine - would love to pick and choose from what yall think. So how would you explain Grapevine to a friend?

Such a dull Saturday! Please share something interesting

Hello everyone, Hope it's going well. What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of it like the watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from you all :)
