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!

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...

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...

Afterall its Paris...

My after event blog posts are generally a report of the event...if you are looking for a report of the MDN Work-week, this is not the right post. This post is a complete non-technical and non-work oriented story of how I fell in love in and with Paris. A glance of Paris...  Paris had been a dream of mine for quite a long time, and the first time I got the invitation for MDN Workweek, I kind of knew this one was going to be awesome! Paris is beautiful...way more beautiful than my words can ever express. Every moment of this one weekend feels like a long, beautiful dream. Everything is too perfect here. This city has a weird kind of "intoxication" in its air. The more you breadth in the cool air, the more you fall in love with this city. The weather here couldn't probably be any better...its perfectly cool....not too hot, not too cold. Refreshing cool breeze just washes away all your worries and stress. Someone couldn't probably be upset in this city...its aw...
