Half a month at Scrollback

Its been a bit more than half a month that I have moved to Bangalore and started my work life here at Scrollback. Thought it was a good time to give my first review about my new life.

Scrollback team consist of eight members (including me)...and it literally took me less than 2 days to get all those 7 members converted from 'colleagues' to 'friends'. Well, when I say this statement, I actually include the two founders in my friend-list...thats how informal this place is and thats exactly how we never follow any hierarchy here!

In the last half month, I have done quite a few different things....I have spend my first two days at a conference (well, being an evangelist I guess that is an important part of my job), I have tried my hands on the code base (well, for that I did have to spend a few hours on Codecademy and learn JavaScript), I have organized an office party (that was ofcourse a team game and I can never take the entire credit for it), have done a lot of writing (blog posts and documentations) and also attended some meetings (inside office as well as outside of it).
These were all the work that I was supposed to do and have done. Now lets come to the interesting part of things- I have tried and helped in an A/C installation inside our office, had almost killed two of my co-workers during a game play, choked my entire team to death while trying to clean the white board with my deodorant and also made the horriblest possible tea during a meeting!

Life in Scrollback in the last half month actually took me back to my college days...FUN! FUN! FUN!

A lot can happen over coffee....only if you are allowed to sit at a CCD outlet!

Cafe Coffee Day is no more a new name for the youngsters in India. For a warm cup of coffee at an affordable price, thats where we generally go to! But more than the cup of coffee, its the atmosphere of Café Coffee Days which attracts all of us. An informal setup...good beverage and snacks...soothing music (most of the time)...complimentary wi-fi (at many outlets)...well, CCD always had a lot to offer its customers.

I have had my job interview conducted at a CCD outlet. I have hosted and attended several community meetups at different CCD outlets across the country. I have even had my coffee dates at CCDs. Well, truely, a lot has happened in my life over coffee...at different CCD outlets. Once, Siddhartha himself had spent his new year's eve, serving customers at a Café Coffee Day (CCD) outlet near C...

Quarantining Alone - A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

This Covid-19 virus has turned the entire world upside down. It has broken a lot of older habits and set a lot of new normals. Towards the early days of this lockdown, I had written a blog - An Extrovert in Isolation . The early lockdown days were extremely difficult for me. That was the phase of breaking old habits. An extrovert by nature, couldn't accept the sudden change of being locked alone inside my house. I am writing this blog again after being locked at home for more than 100 days now. Most of the older habits are broken by now. A few new habits have become a part of my new normal. What seemed to have been painful 100 days back has now turned to be blissful. Here, I am sharing my story of how quarantining alone has ended up being the greatest opportunity and a huge transformation in my life.  I have been struggling for years to fix my sleep patterns. Going to bed late and waking up late had been a habit for a really long time. My struggles to change this habit had...

Equality and Equity: A Journey That Starts at Home, Beyond the Workplace!

In 2023, during the celebration of International Women's Day, I encountered the notion of " Equity " for the first time. Initially, its significance in a woman's daily life didn't strike me profoundly. However, over the past year, I've been continually reminded of its relevance on numerous occasions. Discussions around workplace Diversity and the concerted effort to elevate the presence of women in organizations, especially in leadership roles, have gained traction globally. While commendable, there's a touch of irony in this commendable endeavor. The very men who wield decision-making power in organizations, shaping policies to foster inclusivity and gender balance, often seem to leave the concept of equality at their home doorstep. As they enter their domestic realm, they discard the notion of equality as if shedding a coat, anticipating their wives to effortlessly shift from their professional roles into the responsibilities of a homemaker. It's imp...
