‘How did you manage to not lose a single mark in Maths and Social Studies throughout the year? Great yaar!!’

This too shall pass.

This too shall pass.

1999: ‘We never thought you would plunge to such depths. Your English score does not show that you have studied in English medium school, it looks like you are from Marathi medium’

This too shall pass.

‘which college which branch?’
‘VJTI mech?’
‘Sorry, it just got full three ranks before you. That guy with the blue shirt was the last one’
This too shall pass.

This too shall pass

2006:
‘If you don’t accept that you have copied, you would have to be removed from the institute’

This too shall pass

2007: ‘Welcome to Lehman brothers’
‘We liked what we saw and would like to hire you for BCG’
‘Would you like to join the credit structuring desk?’

This too shall pass.

2008: ‘We are sorry to inform you that you have been made redundant. You can take your belongings and leave the office immediately.’

This too shall pass.
