Fantastic work culture.

[Ankit Pandey @iamankitpande]

Two months ago, my accountant came to my office and requested to resign.

He had been working with us for 10 years, so I was surprised.

I asked him, "Why do you want to leave?"

With tears in his eyes, he replied, "My son's condition is very serious. Doctors have given very little hope for his recovery. I want to spend all my time with him."

I asked, "Can you manage your work from home?"

He said, "No sir. Right now, my son needs me more than anything else."

I told him, "Go be with your son. Your position here will remain vacant for you."

But after 10 years of loyalty, I couldn't let him face this battle alone.

So I said, "Don't worry about money. Your salary will continue to be credited to your account. Focus on your son and come back when he recovers."

A month later, he walked into my office carrying a box of sweets.

With tears in his eyes, he said:

"Sir, my son has recovered."

The next day, he rejoined the company.

Then he made an unexpected request:

"Please deduct the salary you paid me. I wasn't working, and I don't feel right keeping it."

We smiled and said:

"No.

That wasn't a salary.

That was our small contribution toward your son's recovery."

Sometimes, a company is not just a workplace.

Sometimes, it's a family.

@abhijit_MLab It was a fantastic session. Devices from your lab can really make our complex models give lucid functional read outs. Really looking forward to get our hands on them.

A welcome ask by the SC, it should get percolated within the system. Thank you Justices.

@NMMConline Please get that cleaned as well to complete the process. It will be very helpful for us who walk on the roads for commuting. I can post pictures if required. Kindly help taxpayers like us to walk on clean roads. That's the least we can expect. Thank you v

Dear Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation team,
Thank you for getting the drains cleaned in sector 1 koparkhairane. However, the cleaning drive remains unsuccessful due to the pile of drain dump lying around the pavements at every half a meter across the area.

[Gurdon Institute @GurdonInstitute]

A Nobel-winning scientist of great modesty and humour, John Gurdon died on 7 October. Not only did he make a discovery that laid the foundations for the field of stem cell research, he also created one of the best environments for research at the Wellcome / CRUK Gurdon Institute. https://t.co/p0NXMM7RmJ

@ChefKunalKapur To me, as a foodie and someone who loves cooking and experimenting, making authentic Bashonti pulav, a sacred bengali pulav, was one NASA mission, and I am proud to say, my space rocket launched well 😁😁

@MagnifyIndia1 @IndianTechGuide And, they are sent to college to become self reliant and not dependent on emotional bonding. The whole purpose of education goes to waste.

[Vaishali Chakraborty @VaishaliChakra1]

@MagnifyIndia1 @IndianTechGuide Most importantly, why mother's!! Natural caregivers etc? What are father's for? Do children not connect with their father's? Do they not need father's?

[The Better India @thebetterindia]

They told her to stay home. She sailed to Nazi Germany.
They told her to obey. She defied racist science with data.
They told her to stop. She built a legacy that lives on in whispers.

Before feminism had a name, Irawati Karve was living it.

India’s first female anthropologist, she crossed borders—literal and social—to study skulls, decode caste, and dismantle Nazi race theories with fearless science.

@Anushqq She will thank her mother later for teaching her about financial independence and empowerment. And please don't make such personal videos viral like this.
