I am on notice period with Tata Consultancy with 2 months remaining with an offer in hand where the joining date is just after notice period ends. Now, I got early release from current company and thus, I saved 2 months. But I want to use these 2 months for travelling, upskilling and looking for better offers instead of contacting the new company for early joining. So, if I join the new company after 2 months will this be considered as a 'gap' in my profile in the future and will it be harmful?

I was on the phone with a guy I dated 2 months ago. He was telling me about all the people he went shopping with. Some names I knew, others I didn’t, as the name list continues he mentions “a personal friend” in the mix. which I thought was weird in the moment cause why didn’t he just say a name. I didn’t ask like I should have. I would of made a joke like whose a personal friend your cousin? Lol. Would others assume he is dating based on the “personal friend” comment
