Farewell, 4D

 A first job is always special and holds fond memories. In 2021, I got a call from Fourth Dimension Software Systems India Pvt Ltd. for the position of content writer. With my educational background, it made more sense to get into software engineering. However, after working as a developer intern, I realised that it was not my cup of tea. So, I thought I'd give the interview a go. If things didn't work out, I still had a safety net as a developer.


I got selected for the job. I thought my role was just limited to writing blog posts and newsletters. My senior, Balaji Sundareswaran, introduced me to the exciting world of digital marketing. I donned multiple hats in the field and thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. I felt at home with the amount of creativity and learning the role required. That's when I decided that this was a path that I wanted to traverse for a long time.

Two and a half years flew by. I got to work with vibrant teammates like Nanmaran Rajendran. I made good friendships along the way. There was never a day where I felt pressurised or overwhelmed. The warm and nurturing environment at 4D is something I'll always cherish.

As all good things come to an end, I'm now spreading my wings to Zoho as a product marketer. I look forward to this new and exciting journey.

But I always wish Fourth Dimension Technologies and the wonderful Mr. Jagannathan Narayanan continued success.

Farewell, 4D. ❤️

The Anonymous Exchange

          Yogi rubbed his hands in delight as he placed the parcel on his lap. The wrapper was nothing fancy, just the regular brown paper with a red bow tied in the middle. He untied the ribbon and tore the wrapper in a fit of excitement. This was his first experience with the book exchange program. People from around the country send one of their favourite books to someone and in return, they’ll receive one anonymously. Last night, he dreamt that he had received a copy of Gillian Flynn’s new book from the writer herself. He grinned as he looked at the hard-bound book. Out of habit, he opened the middle page and sniffed it. It lacked the musty smell as it looked brand new. “Anonymous” was the book’s title and holding true to its name, it neither had the writer’s nor the publisher’s name. He opened the first page to see if there was a special handwritten note from his sender. But there was none. He sighed in disappointment thinking why he had enrolled in the stupid book exchange pr

Night of Madness

27 th March, 8.00 PM Home is where the heart is. It’s the only place where I can be myself. After a stressful day at work, I hopped onto my bed and stared at the ceiling for some time. Living alone has its perks. There’s no one to nag me when I come back home exhausted. I filled my bathtub with warm water and lit scented candles beside it. After grabbing my bath brush, I jumped into the bathtub. The aroma, bubbles and the warm water soothed my mind. I hummed an old tune and started singing the song. Once the song ended, I thanked my imaginary audience. ‘Wow! I didn’t know you were a singer’, a voice boomed behind me. My heart froze. - 28 th March, 7.00 AM My alarm rang and I woke up with a throbbing headache. I ran my fingers through my hair. There was a huge bump at the back of my head. Then, I noticed bruise marks on my face and wrists. My left eye was swollen. I wanted to shout on top of my lungs but all I managed was a hiccup. Tears welled up in my eyes. I tr

Trapped Soul

Trapped Soul      ‘Have passion, take action and magic will happen’ sounds inspiring but beneath every human, there is a talented soul that had to reconcile with the societal norms to live in harmony.      Every time the businessman passed a book store, the writer inside him shouted on top of his lungs. The singer who was trapped by a home maker, sighed whenever she saw a music director. The artist died with a faded canvas, inside the engineer. The photographer behind the accountant, dancer inside the clerk, actor buried by a dentist and the journalist masked by an insurance agent regret and struggle every day to fit in .      Their passion which should have turned into a profession, did not even exist as a hobby anymore. Remarks like, ‘There’s too much competition’, ‘There’s no job security’, ‘You won’t make much money’, ‘It’s not up to your status’ and ‘It’s just a hobby’, arrested the talented souls forever.      If only they had worked a little harder, the passion wou
