From Layoff to New Opportunity: Navigating Job Loss in India

By Parthapratim Dash

Job layoffs can be a stressful and uncertain time for employees, but there are steps you can take to prepare yourself and increase your chances of finding a new job.

  1. Stay informed: Keep an eye on industry news and trends, as well as any information coming from your employer. This will help you understand the potential reasons for layoffs and give you a better idea of what to expect.
  2. Network: Building a strong professional network can be invaluable in times of job loss. Connect with former colleagues, attend networking events, and make sure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date.
  3. Update your resume: Make sure your resume is current, highlighting your most recent experience and accomplishments. Consider reaching out to a career counselor or mentor for help with your resume.
  4. Consider upskilling or reskilling: Consider taking classes, online courses, or certifications that can help you develop new skills or improve existing ones. This can make you more marketable to potential employers.
  5. Have a savings plan: A savings plan is important to help you manage financial stress in the event of a layoff. Try to save at least 3-6 months of living expenses.
  6. Be open to new opportunities: Be open to considering new job opportunities and industries, even if they are not exactly what you're looking for.
  7. Seek professional help: If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider reaching out to a career counselor, therapist, or other professional for help. They can provide support and guidance as you navigate the job search process.

Remember that job layoffs are not a reflection of your worth as an employee. With the right preparation and mindset, you can find a new job and move forward in your career.

The Reality Behind NCH Complaints for Products Sold Above MRP Online

By Parthapratim Dash
Recently, I came across something that truly shocked me—and as a conscious consumer, it was hard to ignore. A well-known Indian newspaper, available in print for ₹9 (clearly printed on the physical copy), was being sold on its official digital platform in PDF format for ₹25 . That's almost three times the printed MRP! Curious and concerned, I immediately contacted the customer support number listed on their site. I asked why the online version was priced more than the printed MRP. The response? “It’s a management decision.” No further explanation . I then checked their Terms and Conditions, Privacy Polic y —every legal and consumer protection section you'd expect from a responsible platform. To my surprise, they were all blank or missing .  So, I took the next logical step. I dialed 1915 , the National Consumer Helpline (NCH), to file a formal complaint. I explained my issue in detail. The executive assured me that the complaint would be taken seriously and action would be ...

UPI Addicted? Think Before Accepting Online Payments Randomly

By Parthapratim Dash
🔔 Reminder: Think twice before randomly accepting UPI or other online payments.   ⚠️ There’s no proper way to verify if the sender’s digital payment is clean or fraud-free. If any disputed or fraudulent funds end up in your account—even without your knowledge—you could get dragged into legal issues, including account freezes. 🚫 Also, avoid transferring funds between your own multiple bank accounts or family accounts if the fund source is coming from multiple senders or unclear origins. If there’s any chance of fraud-linked money involved, once such funds are triggered, all connected accounts may get frozen. ✅ Always be prepared: 📌 Keep records of every digital transaction—receipts, agreements, bills, or any kind of supporting documents. 📌 Applies to both individuals and businesses. 📌 Say NO to accepting UPI/online transfers in exchange for cash from unknown people. Also, avoid unauthorized fund transfer facilities such as some cyber cafes, where many onl...

Passport Police Verification Corruption in West Bengal

By Parthapratim Dash
In West Bengal, applying for a passport involves a mandatory police verification process to confirm an applicant’s identity, address, and personal details. While this step is designed to ensure security and authenticity, it has unfortunately become a breeding ground for corruption in some instances . Applicants are often coerced into paying bribes to expedite their verification or secure approval, undermining the integrity of the system.  Understanding the Issue: Corruption in Passport Police Verification Passport police verification is a routine procedure where local police visit an applicant’s residence or contact them to verify details provided in the passport application. However, reports from West Bengal indicate that some police officials exploit this process by demanding bribes. These demands may be framed as a “fee” to speed up the process, avoid delays , or overlook minor discrepancies in documentation. Such practices are not only illegal under Indian law but also erode pu...
