I was in Delhi for work a couple of months back, staying at the Radisson Blu Marina in Connaught Place. I ordered a cup of tea in my room. When it arrived, I took one sip and said what most of us say without thinking about it. "The tea is not good." The gentleman who brought it was lovely about it. "Okay sir, let me fix it."

Childhood shapes our behavior and mindset as we evolve into adults. It leaves lifelong impressions on us and as I dive into nostalgia...

One of my LinkedIn connections was unhappy with his current job (Campus placed in a startup with less than a year experience). To all my advice about helping him out, he was adamant about his senior in office (who joined a year or two before him) whom he follows religiously - ".. but Sir said this would not work".

This June, I completed eight years in this IT Industry. I am sharing the eight pieces of advice that I got during my journey that helped me grow in my career. 1. You cannot rely only on a job at work for learning. Stay updated on different products in your organization, participate on online forums and communities and stay updated with latest trends. 2.
