You can just start with general talk… you will get to know if he is married

Also please don't start right away like hey are you in a relationship or something. Go slowly, be friends with him then you can shift gears. Also I want you to be happy but yaar to be honest I follow what Ross said in friends never dip your pen in company ink!

Ross is absolutely right I feel! No dating with office peeps! It gets complicated at times.. i have seen friends going through break ups but sitting on the same table for having lunch!

Only if I can use cred coins for the date 😌

A few years back this trend came up on Blind, where people connected to each other over a thread and planned to meet outside the app, calling it a Blind date.

Why don't we start it here again?

Let's see if we can beat bumble and shaadi.com 😂

Hey folks I was looking to buy some good shirts and pants that I can wear both during weekends and some days at the office. 

What brands are your favorite and why do you love their aesthetic/quality?

Business Development Manager

Okay, so this happened to me last year. I was approached by a college alumni (got my number from college alumni group) who told me he had a side business going on which was leading him to earn more money than his corporate job and that he was going to leave the corporate for his “business”.

I was initially not interested but he was insistent and also I was looking to explore some options (may be my naïveté) that I asked him more and so he setup a call with his senior to explain more about this “business”.

Now this senior gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how to reach financial independence and picking up on the general mindset of how to make more money. They asked to create a list of 10 things that I desired the most at the point of time which could be solved with more money. I complied thinking it was a good exercise (again, I was a big fool). Now I was connected with another senior who gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how I could make more money and lead to financial independence.

Please note, during all this time I was constantly asking what the business idea was and how it would be achieved but got no response on the details and only white washing regarding how I should be prepared to do anything to achieve my dreams.

Now, it was revealed that I would need to put in 5L as investment to get bigger returns. Since I did not have that money in handy, I was suggested to get a personal loan through their agents. Also not to inform this to parents because they won’t understand this stuff and get “worried”. Luckily I did went with their suggestion and informed my parent about it. Thinking it was a startup idea, I got the investment from my father through an OD in my name.

Now we get onto a call two days later, where they reveal the company QNet and makes me purchase 5L of stuff from their website and explained the business model which was to get other people from your knowing to buy products from this company and get commissions on the sale.

Just wanted to know what are some of the weirdest things you’ve seen your co workers do?


My co worker at a previous organisation used to take milk packets home which were  to be used in the coffee machines.

Weirdest thing you’ve seen your co workers do?

Assistant Manager

I know a lot of people love working from home. But small rant here. 
Honestly, straight out of college I thought I would do too. But no, I absolutely do not.

Why? 
1. No personality development. It's honestly like an online college all over again (1/2 of my college "life" was online). I talk to a screen, waste a lot of time otherwise. 

2. I don't have a room to call my own. I know this is going to make me sound like a privileged brat but I need my privacy to feel my full confident self. My family members are always on top of my head and spy on me during work. No they really do.

3. I hate, absolutely LOATHE approaching people on teams. I'm more social, confident and comfortable working in an offline setting be it presenting something or talking to senior folks in general. 

4. I have NO life outside of the computer/home. My hobbies, interests everything are inside the tiny room I share with my parents. I still have 2 different desks (which are literally next to each other) for work and personal stuff respectively. When I had offline semesters, it was really awesome as I had balance.

I graduated in 2023 and of course I have a lot to learn, but I'm seriously thinking about searching for another job that's not WFH. I'm still early career and I think I should not be working remote. Am I stupid?

I cannot work remotely.

So i was in a mall having lunch with my family. Two girls came and sat on a seat that was right in front me for them i was sitting at a 90 degree angle. While i was having lunch i just caught one the girls looking at me. At first i thought she must be looking at someone behind me or there would be something behind me so i proceeded to not care and carry on with my lunch. After a couple of mins i caught her glance again and she was still looking at the same direction. This time i looked back to see and verify was there actually someone or something behind me. There was nothing but a path where people were walking by i again ignored and carried on with my lunch.
A couple of mins later out of sheer curiosity i looked at her direction and this time i again caught her looking at me. Now i was sure that she was looking at me but such a looser that i am had absolutely no guts to give a smile to her gaze at least. I thought my mother who was sitting next to me would ask me questions i got too shy and panicked. I looked at her for couple of seconds then looked the other way as if to say i am not interested in you. I so wished i was alone or with some friend i sure would have approached her. Who knows what it could have lead maybe. What are your opinion folks?? Do let me know.

Did i miss my shot
