I recall a CHRO once mentioning that individuals might face 3 job losses in their lifetime, but in today’s fast-changing world, that number is surely higher. What’s even more concerning is how our society, driven by profit and efficiency, seems to have normalized this insecurity.

Thank you for voicing this harsh reality. Your reflections are a reminder for those of us still in the workforce to show empathy and extend a helping hand to those navigating these difficult transitions.

Let’s hope that conversations like these inspire more compassionate leadership and stronger support systems for people during life’s inevitable downturns.

Warm regards,

At a societal level – due to sheer job scarcity and unlimited supply of labour – failure in something different costs more than just economic hardship. I see myself in that shoes and I am going through it.

Dipak’s story is encouraging and and i wish(and hope) that everyone will able to live peaceful and healthy life.

What we need is building more temples in every street of our cities and villages. They will provide a great solace to the jobless and poor people; praying gods and spending time in and around temples will provide opportunities for meditation, which is the best known solution for all the ills and give strength to live life joyfully even in distress. Our citizens, rich and poor alike, will just love and appreciate it. We are a civilisation of thousands of years with great golden history. Let us perpetuate that glory. Amen.

It was like a reality check for me to see the hard/ bitter truth of life at lower section of society. Although visible, but gets overlooked many times.

At the same time the lessons to be learnt from Deepak, to stay optimistic and never lose hope. He showcases the true spirit of a fighter and leaves a message to everyone that if he can at his age, so can everyone.

He reminds me of a song, sung by Manoj Kumar in one of his movie… Jeevan Chalne ka naam… chalte raho subah Shaam…
