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.

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.

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.

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.

for me. i spent college studying for grades and 20s making money in a job I don't like, but never got to make the memories I should've with all my friends. I regret doing all of that

I turned down a job at a unicorn startup to stick with my stable corporate gig. Now they've IPO'd and I'm kicking myself. What 'playing it safe' decision do you regret the most?
Back in 2018, I had an offer from a fast-growing fintech startup. The salary was lower, the hours looked brutal, and the whole thing seemed risky. I chose to stay at my comfortable Big Tech job instead. Fast forward to now: that startup ...
