heartfelt post dedicated to Thiru. Ratan Tata

One of the wishes I had for this year was to click a picture with you, Thiru. Ratan Tata. Now, it remains just a wish.

You’ve won the hearts of millions across India, and the response to the news of your passing reflects the deep connection you shared with us all. People everywhere are expressing their sorrow, saying it "feels like a personal loss." I’ve seen countless statuses, reels, and stories filled with memories of your remarkable contributions.

There was something someone said about you that struck me deeply: 

“Look at all the posts about him; not a single one talks about how great a businessman he was. They all talk about how good a person he was.” 

It’s true. Your legacy goes beyond the immense wealth you generated or the empire you built. What stays with us, what people remember the most, is the kindness and humility with which you carried yourself, the way you made everyone feel seen and heard.

Although I’m someone who only learned about a few of your impactful works, the selfless dedication you've shown towards philanthropy and your immense contributions to the Indian economy are beyond words. You inspired many to follow in your footsteps, encouraging others to give back without expecting anything in return.

You are truly a Ratan—a gem. This is just a heartfelt note to express my admiration. It took a while for me to accept the reality, and even now, it’s hard to imagine the world without you.

What stays behind is not the wealth or the positions we hold, but the impact we make on others. And your impact, Thiru. Ratan Tata, will remain for generations.



Yours truly,
Edin Jayanti

A Thorn in the Garden of Growth | Don't be that Neelambari (Chapter 1)

 Sam had always been a dedicated employee, known for his creativity and problem-solving skills. However, his world turned upside down when Mrs. Neelambari became his new manager. From day one, Mrs. Neelambari seemed determined to undermine Sam's confidence. In team meetings, she'd single him out, questioning his methods and decisions. "Why did you approach it this way?" she'd ask, her tone dripping with disapproval. Yet, she never offered constructive feedback or alternative solutions. One day, Sam used an AI writing assistant to draft a complex email to a client. Mrs. Neelambari discovered this and berated him in front of the entire team. "Using AI shows a lack of integrity," she declared. "Are you incapable of writing your own emails?" The irony wasn't lost on Sam. Just last week, Mrs. Neelambari had sent out a company-wide memo riddled with typos and grammatical errors. When a colleague pointed it out, she had shrugged it off with a l...

The Tale of a Fault-Finding Manager | Don't be that Neelambari

In a bustling office where deadlines and deliverables ruled the day, there was a manager named Mrs. Neelambari. On the surface, Mrs. Neelambari appeared competent and detail-oriented, but those who worked closely with her knew a different side—one that was more concerned with pointing out flaws than finding solutions. Among her team was an employee named Sam, who had always been diligent and eager to learn. Sam had a knack for using AI tools to streamline tasks, like drafting emails or creating reports, which allowed the team to focus on more strategic work.

The Undermining Begins Every time Sam sent an email that Mrs. Neelambari knew had been assisted by AI, the manager would call Sam out, nitpicking over minor punctuation errors or questioning why they needed to rely on technology at all. "Why do you need AI to write an email? Are you not capable of doing it yourself?" Mrs. Neelambari would say, with a tone that was more cond...
