Not a single time have I felt lonely being alone.
Like that's the best company you'll need to reset, grow, think, reflect, enjoy, observe.. And more more....
Be with yourself, do it for yourself, treat for yourself...
Funny how I’ve never cried over not having a boyfriend…
but one reel of a brother loving his sister, and my heart just breaks a little.
Didn’t know this is what I’d end up longing for.
But I guess it’s a little too late to ask my parents for one now.
It’s high time that students should start thinking about alternate career options instead of blindly chasing IT jobs.
First, you’re told to learn:
HTML, CSS, Java, JavaScript, Python, C, C++, SQL, React, Angular, Vue, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL.
Then comes the mandatory grind:
DSA, LeetCode, CodeChef, Codeforces, System Design, OOPs, OS, DBMS, Computer Networks.
Then tools & cloud pressure:
Git, GitHub, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP, CI/CD, Jenkins, Terraform.
Then frameworks & buzzwords:
Next.js, Spring Boot, Django, Microservices, REST API, GraphQL, WebSockets.
And now the new wave:
AI, ML, Deep Learning, GenAI, ChatGPT, LLMs, Prompt Engineering, LangChain, Vector Databases.
After all this…
You might get a job.
But there’s no guarantee you’ll survive in the long run.
It’s so easy to get angry, be angry, show anger, and react instantly.
But it takes just a minute to pause and reflect on that anger.
What you feel and how you react after that minute can have a much bigger impact than you might realize.

AI is evolving faster than most people can upskill.
Tech stacks change. Roles disappear. Expectations keep increasing.
IT is no longer a “safe” career.
It’s a constant race with uncertainty.
This isn’t fear-mongering...it’s reality.
Students should seriously explore alternate paths where AI supports you, not replaces you.
Think long-term.
Don’t just follow the crowd.
अनासक्ति - Anāsakti
Anasakti means living fully but not clinging emotionally to outcomes, people or possessions.
You do your duty, love people, work hard, care deeply but you do not let results, expectations, or fear control your inner peace.
