‘Main bik gaya': Brutally honest resignation email goes viral, leaves LinkedIn in splits
A no-frills resignation email has taken LinkedIn by storm, thanks to its raw honesty and unexpected humour. Shared by Shubham Gune, the founder and CEO of Mumbai-based brand Hinglish, the post is titled 'Honest Resignation,' and it lives up to its name. The viral screenshot features an email from one Dayitva Shah, who wrote with striking simplicity: 'Hi sir, Main bik gaya. Saamne waali company chaar paise zyaada de rahi hai.' (I've sold myself. Another ompany is giving a marginal raise). He signed off with just, 'Regards'. The Internet couldn't get enough. Many people responded this is exactly what they wish they could write in their own resignation emails. One person commented, 'Honesty is the best policy I heard,' while another said, 'Kon duniya, kon chaar log.. all that matters is chaar paisa.' (All that matters is money). One user wrote, 'I believe the issue is more than just 4 paise—it's the toxic environment.' Another chimed in, 'Isn't it just so relatable? We all want to say this, but instead we smile and hand over a carefully worded goodbye.' This wasn't the only instance of unfiltered honesty at work to go viral recently. Noida-based HR professional Khushie Chaurasiya shared a post about a new hire who quit on day one. A straightforward text from the employee said: 'Mujhe yeh kaam pasand nahi aaya.' (I didn't like this work.) Chaurasiya mentioned that the role, while demanding, had been explained in detail before the offer. Still, she was left puzzled by the sudden change.

8 Indian habits a Russian woman adores in Bangalore
credit: Instagram/@ yulia_bangalore A Russian woman living in Bangalore has captured millions of hearts with her viral reel on Instagram, listing eight Indian habits that she once found unusual, but now she adores them and finds them cute and worth cherishing. Luliia Aslamova's candid reflections on India and its practices offer a refreshing look at how cultural quirks that we as Indians might find cringeworthy are beloved parts of our daily life that we often ignore. Her list offers a glimpse into how an outsider can adjust to this well, actually accept it, and eventually start adoring it. Through humour and affection, she highlights the little things that define Indian life, showing how cultural differences are not barriers but bridges. Luliia has been living in India for the last 11 years and says there are a lot of stereotypes from abroad that have absolutely nothing to do with the reality of India, giving a special shoutout to Goa for being her favourite place. Eight habits that Luliia lists: Living with parents-in-law For Luliia, staying in a joint family is a blessing. She says she struggles with household management and feels grateful for the support and shared responsibility that comes from living together. Eating with hands Initially, this might look unusual to some people, but eating with hands has grown on her. Luliia finds that it makes food taste better. Being a little late In Indian culture, social schedules are often flexible; needless to say, Luliia says she learned to embrace the norm of being 15-20 minutes late. Having house helpers for everything What felt strange at first, employing domestic helpers for various tasks, now feels like a natural convenience. She calls it 'cute'. Speaking multiple languages at once Luliia has started to follow conversations in Hinglish now and is charmed by the unique flow of it. Negotiation for everything She calls bargaining a superpower in India and admires how it teaches business skills and confidence, and also effective communication. Drinking chai with milk and spices As someone raised near the border of Mongolia, Lullia says India's masala chai reminds her of home, but with it own adorable twist. Celebrating love everywhere From watching films to daily life, Luliia finds that India's deep connection to love makes the culture 'beautiful and emotional'. Why this post resonated with other people Luliia's affection towards India and its culture has struck a chord with viewers, who appreciate her openness and respect for the culture. Her message stands out: what may feel strange at first can, with time, become something to cherish.

Russian Woman's List Of 'Normal' Indian Habits Considered 'Cringe' Goes Viral
A Russian woman married to an Indian man and living in Bengaluru has gone viral on social media after she shared a list of things that she finds normal in the country, which others find cringeworthy. Content creator Yulia took to her Instagram to share her opinion and listed eight Indian habits that surprised her at first but now feel like part of her everyday life. She said these practices, though sometimes viewed as odd by outsiders, brought comfort and joy to her routine. She started off her list by talking about her living arrangement with the in-laws, something she initially found unusual but now considers a blessing. Here are the eight things Yulia listed in her viral video: Live together with the parents-in-law. It is a blessing. Eat with hands. Very, very often it is tastier to eat with your hands! Be a bit late. Lol. I'm super ok with people being late by 15-20 minutes. But I keep my meeting gaps and plan accordingly. Have a lot of domestic house helpers, for everything. Speak a few languages at the same time. I can catch the meaning in Hinglish. Negotiate. For everything. Almost always. I actually learnt a lot about business, negotiation, and effective communication in India. Dedicate life to love. Everything is about love in India. Every movie, every problem statement is somehow connected to love.

The majority of users agreed with her list. "I support all of them, except the first one. I think it's up to the couple and whom they choose to be with," said one user, while another added: "I love all your points. And I miss India and my family so much." A third commented: "Love your points. While many complain about the in-laws, there are some gems of MILs who understand and don't pass the generational trauma." A fourth said: "Thanks for understanding and sharing to the world that India is about love. Negative people are there but love runs in India's bloodline." Yulia moved to India 11 years ago after quitting her job in Russia and managed to raise a family and build her business from scratch.
