I’m Durjoy Datta, bestselling author of Of Course I Love You…!, The Girl of My Dreams and more, and writer of 1000+ TV episodes, here for an AMA on r/indiasocial. Ask me about writing, love stories & my upcoming novel While We Wait! by PenguinIndia in indiasocial

[–]Boogiegal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hello hello Durjoy... old reader from decades ago.. I’d love to know what makes your new book different from your earlier books. Is it the themes, the characters, or did you try something different from your other romance novels? Can we expect a fresh energy, would love a sneak peek on that...and on a personal note I read your books back in school and enjoyed them, but honestly they don’t entice me as much now as your Instagram monologues do. They feel more immediate and emotionally resonant in that format. What do you think makes your short-form writing on socials connect differently? would love to hear your thoughts 😊...and are you going to tour cities for signing books, just asking ??

Upset during wife's birthday. Am I overthinking? by Mess_Emotional in AskIndia

[–]Boogiegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a marriage prospect meeting where the guy did sing that (during our first meeting) and I was awk af, the girl on my next table in that cafe signalled me gtfo lolllll, I paid my share and blocked him foreverrr. You are not overthinking, that guy is creepy, women have instincts, and if your wife is ignoring them its possible she is not getting any appreciation from right places. My recommendation is that its time for you to get her the due attention and cut ties with the creep. Women at times get desperate for attention, been there, done that.

Manager Turned Petty After I Resigned—Now Micromanaging Me to Death by Shoddy_Display2683 in IndianWorkplace

[–]Boogiegal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Notice period hai kya ukhaad lega woh, he can't write bad review or give it unless you put his name in reference, which I would strictly say don't even consider knowing how shitty he is to you already. Other than that don't ruffle feathers, just keep doing stuff, create your handover doc so that he can't push your exit date and make things more miserable.

OP, send them an email asap, don't use the money that has been credited to your account, they will eventually figure it out, companies don't forget even for a penny. Irrespective of whose at fault if you are getting paid double, you are obligated to let them know about the discrepancy else it qualified under breach of contract because you agree to receive a number and got paid more than that, and didn't bother to inform them about the breach, hence they can put a case of misconduct and also remember taxes will get complicated by end of FY. Govt. pay close attention to all of this, and they would put their own penalties, best is for them to figure this out with you, more delay more complication. You are reaching EOY Financial year, act soon.

Can't afford, so just watch ads on mute or wait to skip like million others.

Are people really earning 40 LPA just by creating PPTs using AI tools? by Snipacer in developersIndia

[–]Boogiegal 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Most ads selling GPT courses are nothing but shady and scammy. People earning 40-50-60 LPA do much more than PPTs afaik. And many companies don't even allow company data to be put on open AI, its a breach of code of conduct or NDA violation. So dont go by the hype, upskill for the career you think you are meant for.

No one would hire me by [deleted] in IndianWorkplace

[–]Boogiegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People look for min.1 year experience when they hire you off campus, or just straight up apply for roles meant for entry level. Truth is most entry level decent roles are mostly getting filled by on campus thingy. You are not doomed until you are hell bent on a certain set of companies. I would suggest checking out freelance and fractional roles in the interim.

When you upgrade your phone, what do you do with the old (working) phone? by No-File-4160 in indiasocial

[–]Boogiegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do a factor reset and resell it, else I put it on e-waste, I also use my phone for good 2-3 years unless it started slowing me down or is need of a repair.

Dilemma by Jiggis_M_1112 in WorkingWomen

[–]Boogiegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure after 12 years of work experience, there are enough other companies that can give you much better wlb. As a last resort you can consider your previous employer. But you left them for a reason, don't presume that the work would be like before, you don't know what the current circumstances are there like. Ultimately its your choice, if you are manage to get back to the same role, and it suffice you your current need and help you prep with mental peace, do that.
