Mumbai got slammed with 100mm+ rain in just 12 hours. IMD's issued an orange alert, Metro Line 3 is down, roads are basically rivers, and the local trains are crawling. A lot of offices are half-empty or fully remote today some companies even let employees crash at work overnight.

And honestly, today was a mess for me too.
Left home at 8:30 AM thinking I could beat the rush. Got stuck at Sion for over an hour, water halfway up my legs. Auto guy ditched me mid-route, and I ended up walking 3 km just to reach an office that had 4 people and no Wi-Fi because of a power cut. 😩

Lesson learned: Never underestimate Mumbai rains, and always keep an extra pair of socks.

Anyone else go through this chaos today? Or did you wisely choose to WFH?

Interview Tips & Stories

One thing I’ve personally learned is that it’s really important not to overtalk during interviews. Once you cross that line, you unknowingly start oversharing. And we often forget that interviewers are actively listening to every single word  not just casually nodding.

In one of my interviews, the person was super friendly, and I got too comfortable. I ended up talking openly about some of my weaknesses… and guess what? He used that against me later. 
So yeah, be mindful of what and how much you share, even if the vibe feels chill.

Career Growth

I always believed a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) was meant to help an employee grow. But reality hit differently.

Some were put on a PIP without any prior warnings, no clear expectations, and no proper guidance. It felt less like a performance correction and more like a personal vendetta. The same managers who failed to support or understand challenges were quick to question, criticize, and push into PIP mode — just to show power or settle scores.

Performance issues should be handled with constructive feedback and mentorship. But in some companies, especially under insecure leadership, PIP becomes a silent weapon to corner individuals or force resignations.

PIP is for Vengeance, Not Performance – A Tool Misused by Insecure Managers

I walked out of an interview today. This was my third interview with the company. Interviewer goes on to mention there's a fourth interview with the manager and I said nope. I stood up, and said "you've met me 3 times already and should know if you want to hire me at this point. I am not doing a 4th interview." She was shocked. I wish I took a picture of the look on her face. She kept saying, "but I really like you." And, "no one's ever done this before." Nope, don't care.

Day to Day Office

He’s silent, deadly, and unapologetic.
You're talking deadlines, he's dropping gas bombs.
No one addresses it. HR didn’t train us for this kind of workplace hazard.

How do I survive this biological warfare in a corporate setting?💣
