Looking back I am glad that the plan of stopping with a single child didn’t workout as expected. I didn’t know that it would just double the happiness, both for us and our elder child.
Ah yes! My brother has been the best gift my parents ever gave. It is a blessing to have siblings
Yea it's like having a Robin to your Batman
At one point I wanted to quit engineering and join journalism. Damn glad I didn't go through with that idea
Didn’t get through the job interviews at a bunch of companies during the 2021 boom..
My ex. Our relationship lasted for almost 10yrs, she didn’t cheat on me but when I was going through a tough time, she left me and found someone else.
I’m glad this happened as I was so focused on her that I neglected my career. Now I’m doing better every day. It’s been 4 years now and I haven’t dated anyone or even thought about it bcs I have trust issues and don’t want anyone else to be above me, my family or my career.
Can I ask a personal question though - why 10 years? Weren't you dating to marry?
It began in 9th class in school. Yea we used to dream about our wedding when we were nibba nibbi, mostly till college. But then, as I was preparing for some exams and she was working so you know, people become practical.
I'll go first
I was studying to be a doctor. Multiple factors Glad it didn't work out, I wouldn’t have lived this long if I had got into it,
Had interviewed at a company, messed up the final behavioural round. Didn’t know how to handle rejection then and was sad for quite a few days.(Yes! That was my 2019 WC semifinal Dhoni dismissal moment.) I used to overthink of how differently I could have answered those questions.
Cut to 6 months later, I had joined a new company. The company which rejected me did a round of layoff where I learnt that the new hires were impacted.
This feeling! Initially it breaks us, but glad we could swim across
Had a crush on a girl at Nibba Nibbi age. She too knew that but fell for a student who was richer than me and pampered her a lot. Glad it didnt work out, I realised how temporary things are in life and how people care about your money and success only. Hard pill but got to know that World runs on money and other materialistic stuff but not on love.
