Happy Diwali / Diwali week fellow Desi Fishes :)

I keep fighting with the product managers on my team, who keep assigning me new features to build without checking first if I had the bandwidth for it. How do I communicate this politely?

People who work in any engineering capacity are usually very hardworking but it's not just because we have to be, it's also that we find this stuff really fascinating, kind of like a book you can't put down

I'm really having a difficult time understanding how engineering is supposed to be really competitive, most of the projects I've worked on were in groups and there wasn't usually a clear "leader," we were just on a team

Lazy Sunday evening and finished watching Abhimaan movie. Just here to say it is a real gem even after so many years. The songs and singers are excellent, acting is very good and the direction is superlative. Watching it now, I can appreciate the song “ab to hai tumse” and the associated direction of Hrishikesh Mukherjee. It’s truly brilliant how the story moves in 3 minutes and is told so perfectly through the song. That is all 😀.

Does anyone remember the series Kashmir that used to air on Star plus? Is there a way to watch it now?
Are there any good series based out of Kashmir? I miss home!
