Having a meeting at 9.30 AM on December 25th. It’s Christmas morning, for chrissakes!!! Involving me in unnecessary meetings to make me feel important. Dude, making me go to meetings and meet people when I am leaving the organisation is not the way to make me feel valued. It makes me question you – “Why […]

It hit me, when I worked hard with only criticism as my reward. It hit me, when I spent sleepless nights staring at my work. It hit me, when I was hospitalised and my manager called me to make me do work. I was wasting precious energy, brain-work and time all for the sake of […]

If you do any of these things, trust me I understand your pain. Truly. When you have to come early and stay late at office not because you have work but because you’re expected to. When it’s perfectly acceptable for people to have an in-person meeting during the weekend for status updates. When your Whatsapp […]

They’ll be the ones who make an effort to come and talk to you, not because they care, they pretend to. Because they want to hear some news from you. They talk in such a nice and unassuming manner, you’ll be fooled into thinking they’re good. They talk so softly, so sweetly you’d almost miss […]

I always talk about holding on, because I cannot afford to let go. I have spoken before on my work situation, and how I had to hold on for a while longer and things will get better. It’s not. I’m just tired now. I’m just sad now. And it permeates inside me. It’s bone-deep. And […]

March 9, 2018

The streets keep gleaming, I can feel the ghosts cheering The sounds that can be heard, Echo in the ear Dripping, dropping, swishing, slashing Life keeps still as calm Thrum of strings Be faintly heard, and Disappear into the night Hopes belong to loves lost long Breaths of life fill the air As minds open; […]

Hi Guys, I’m sharing an old poem and my notes on it that I had published when Blogger or Blogspot was the trending WordPress. 🙂 Hope you enjoy! http://shilthoughts.blogspot.com/2011/05/monsoon-memories-note.html The rain brings out the poet in any one of us. The dripping sounds, the quiet and muffled whispers, the damp moods. The raindrops flow gently, […]

The first one hour would be fine, because you would be too busy with work to notice anything. It’s when your energy and time starts slowly sliding into the second wind phase that it creeps upon you. And creeping is right. The chill starts at your feet and fingers. You wouldn’t notice it at all. […]

The past 6-7 months of my life has been a series of lemons being squeezed into my eyes and rugs being pulled under me. Hence the title. It might sound amusing. But it was stressful. Long story short, I had a great work opportunity come my way (new role, better salary, new location), it was […]

Hello! I was doing research for myself, making a note of things I would ideally want to buy if I had a 100,000 bucks… A hundred thousand sounds too much when you have to spend on a phone or a laptop, but sounds too little when you have a bigger student loan to pay off!!! … More Is it ever gonna be enough?

You know those times when you eat your own words? Yeah, I had those last week. My colleague was looking out to buy a new phone and he kept saying he wanted an iPhone. An iPhone in India, means you’re rich. It means you spent nearly 1,00,000 Indian Rupees for a phone. Who pays a … More Insurance for my Phone?
