The story of one resident of Gurgaon has attracted the attention of social media users. After losing his job at a multinational company where he worked for seven years, he decided not to tell his parents about it. Instead, every morning around nine o'clock, he would take his laptop and leave home, staying out until evening.
This person shared his story on the subreddit r/gurgaon. He recounted that he had worked at a multinational company located in Cyber City, Gurgaon, for about seven years. He was laid off on September 10, 2026. The most difficult task for him was not finding a new job, but explaining to his family that he no longer went to the office.
According to the Reddit post, every morning he left home with his personal laptop. Upon arriving, he would sit in Starbucks and apply for new vacancies. Additionally, he dedicated time to learning new skills, such as Python. During this time, his parents believed he was going to work as usual. He noted that his mother didn't even notice that he wasn't taking his work laptop with him.
However, before the end of the day, he fulfilled another duty. In the evening, around five o'clock, he would leave Starbucks and head to the areas of Vasant Kunj and Hauz Khas to teach underprivileged children. After that, he would return home. He described his situation as a 'double life,' adding that this constant lifestyle was exhausting him, and he worried about how long he could keep the fact of job loss hidden from his parents.
After the post was published on Reddit, many users advised this person to stay resilient and talk to his family. Some users shared their own experiences, saying they had also kept job loss from their families for some time. Others advised him to contact old colleagues and professional contacts, while some offered help in job searching by asking for his resume.
This story demonstrates not only the difficulties associated with job loss but also the family and social pressure that accompanies unemployment. Nevertheless, the entire story is based on a user's post on Reddit, and his claims have not been independently verified.
