  • Similarities Between Job Interview and Girl to Boy Talk for Marriage Proposal

    Similarities Between Job Interview and Girl to Boy Talk for Marriage Proposal

    Disclaimer: I am very serious about this post so read with total seriousness.

    When I use to go for multiple interviews almost 200+ till date.

    They would ask:

    Question 1:

    Why should not hire you: I use to answer with many variety of relevent answers. Should I demonstrate more skills so that you can get clarity or you are really confuse or we are wasting each others time.

    Note: So it shows interviewer is not really interested or company is not really interested in hiring people but it is just another way of marketing tactic for pressurising current employees.

    Same with future marriage prospect, girl asks what you seen in me? Should I say the truth my stupidity or question should be asked after 20 years of marriage for more clarity.

    Question 02:

    Where you see yourself after 5 years.

    I once answered CEO of your company or working in your company. Then lady in chair opposite side of table says we already not hired you how can you say that… What can I say my mistake? or just stupidity to appear for this interview so that i can write post on social media or on my website.

    It same with marriage prospect.

    So issue is clarity or you have enough money and work to hire people.

    Thanks & Regards

  • Understanding Culture of Ashish Magar aka ‘ATM Guru’: The History, The Language, The Thought Process. The Reason of his existence.

    Understanding Culture of Ashish Magar aka ‘ATM Guru’: The History, The Language, The Thought Process. The Reason of his existence.

    Background:

    When The Jarange Patil Phenomenon was high in Maharashtra there were few people who were posting videos on daily about Jarange.

    List of Individuals: Mainly YouTubers who were posting videos daily and can be seen in every Jarange event.

    1. Ashish Magar (ATM Guru)
    2. Gangadhar Kalkute Patil
    3. Ashish Jadhav (News Journalist)
    4. Niranjan Takle
    5. (List Goes On)…

    The Culture Behind Individual like Ashish Magar or Close Partner of Mr. Jarange called Gangadhar Kalkute Patil.

    To understand their mindset, thought process and their pure hatred in their brain then see this Images from their YouTube videos. Their aim is to get reservation solely for their own caste their own benefit and for their own children. But while asking for free reservation in education system and job market individual started abusing all Brahmins as a caste.

    I really find this funny and kind of satisfying that they post their own videos in their own words and under their own channel that they own on YouTube.

    So they kind of done my duty to document this kind of people who want abuse and sexualise all Brahmins. May want to kill them totally and own brahman’s wife and daughter as keeps. This is not what I am saying if you can go through all videos of this people you can get this message in same words that I described.

  • Story of Niranjan Takale: The Loud Mouth of YouTube Activism and Social Media Freedom Fighter

    Story of Niranjan Takale: The Loud Mouth of YouTube Activism and Social Media Freedom Fighter

    I was hearing too much noise about loud mouth Niranjan Takale from peoples around me how he was responsible for case against Honourable Home Minister Amit Shah and his arrest in case of death of Judge Loya.

    Video About Judge Loya Case by Mr. Takale:

    On personal level I gone through all articles and specially videos posted by Mr. Niranjan Takale itself on his YouTube channel.

    Found him really disgraceful and derogatory commenting in all his videos about Hindu, RSS, Ruler / King Peshwa, Brahmans. Another thing he really don’t have any manners that may match his profession of news reporter or his age of 50+. Mr. Takale always sounds like Chappari, Gunda or Roadside Romeo or Roadside Pickpocket who advise PM of country how he is wrong by calling him by name with no respect.

    Here are few of notable and very valuable remarks about India’s current PM, Maharashtra’s current CM, RSS Chief and Total Brahman Caste by Mr. Takale:

    Narendra Modi:

    I found him very hurt or in pain that he calls my Honourable Prime Minister Hagu-ru. Why Hagu-ru? As Narendra Modi wants to see Bharat as Vishwa Guru so Mr Takale calls Modi Hag-ru..

    In plain english he calls PM Modi as Professor of Shit or Teacher of Toilet or Guru of Shit or Urine…

  • Mental Shit of Kamra: The Easy Life or Appetite of Activist Working from Home

    Mental Shit of Kamra: The Easy Life or Appetite of Activist Working from Home

    I came across a post from a stand-up comedian who creates jokes about India and earns a living from them.

    The New Modern Era Picasso or M. F. Hussain

    Remember M.F. Hussain? He was famous for making offensive paintings of Hindu goddesses like Devi Saraswati and Devi Laxmi in inappropriate ways. These paintings misrepresented the aesthetics of these deities, which he named Hindu God Laxmi.

    It seems his corrupt mind simply wanted to disrupt society and he sat at home, enjoying himself.

    Now, no one hosts his shows for Kunal Kamra. He’s retreated to his run-down home in South India and spends his time watching the country burn while scrolling through social media.

  • My Success Story from Different Domain: Success or Just Experience That I am Experiencing!

    My Success Story from Different Domain: Success or Just Experience That I am Experiencing!

    Let me share my story.

    As a designer who chose to learn programming, I’ve been creating Apple App Store apps since the iPhone’s App Store launched.

    Because I’m a designer first, I always make sure my programming instincts check for design consistency before I start coding.

    I used to keep almost 500+ lines of code that handled font and icon sizes for every device my app supported.

    One day while having a bath, I had an idea to simplify it because it was getting in the way of my thinking.

  • The Black Hat Pattern: A Look at Mr. Pandhare’s HealthTech Startup Business. I’m sharing some insights into how business groups like TIE operate.

    The Black Hat Pattern: A Look at Mr. Pandhare’s HealthTech Startup Business. I’m sharing some insights into how business groups like TIE operate.

    Background

    I went to TIE’s Conference in Pune around February 2025.

    The event cost was about 7,000 to 8,000 rupees, and if you booked the conference ticket, you could get a membership for an additional 2,000 rupees.

    However, that paid membership didn’t really offer any benefits because you still had to pay for each event, but you did get a discount.

    So, you only got a discount on paid events, and then you started receiving an email newsletter for free. They have a members group on Zoho, but it seems no one uses it. Instead, they have an active WhatsApp group with multiple subgroups for each domain and industry.

    The Story

    Let’s get back to Mr. Pandhare, the young entrepreneur who started from humble beginnings.

    I was browsing through the group notifications, and there he was, sharing that he had an extra LinkedIn Premium offer code he’d purchased for his employees, but it was more than he needed.

  • Understanding Life, Design, Programming and money. The Thought Process Behind Everything.

    Understanding Life, Design, Programming and money. The Thought Process Behind Everything.

    My Thoughts:

    Good design is not visible design
    Good code is code that never got written
    Good salary that never got received

    When I joined Advertising College, I read a book it said Advertising & Marketing is not required. You can’t advertise and market the wrong product. You have to fix the product design first. You can’t take loan from bank or take angel funding and starting fooling people to sale your ugly, bad and broken product and payback your loan.

    So entrepreneur is not an agent who takes commision by taking someone’s money then creating and selling garbage and giving fraction of that money to lender and taking percentage as commission.

    So selling software or products is not strategy to get rich fast.

  • Understanding Dalit or any Backward Class Leadership mindset by analysing what they show what they do and what they have achieved till this date.

    Understanding Dalit or any Backward Class Leadership mindset by analysing what they show what they do and what they have achieved till this date.

    This analysis will help us understanding theory of Shahu, Phule, Ambedkar through magnified lenses of jargons like ‘Bamani Kawa’ and ‘Anaji Pant’ and current status of Dalit Leadership family decedents.

    Background

    When I was in school, or college or even I started working in office or traveling by train I saw people around me who were Dalit or from Reserved or Backward class will abuse me about me being Brahman.

    But a thing that I have to mention about me is that I never started abusing any Cast or Religion without any reason or started this kind of conversation.

    But I have to face something like this.

    But Soft Abuse that I always has to face that I can list here:

    Note: If you are Brahman and you faced this type of abuse and I am sure you have. Then you can mentioned below in comments section. I will add it to list to keep it updated.
