When electronics manufacturing took off in China in the 1980s, rural women who had just begun moving to the cities made up the majority of the factory workforce. They didn’t have many other options. Managers at companies like Foxconn preferred to hire women because they believed them to be more obedient [...]

Hiring a young, female workforce in India comes with its own requirements — which include reassuring doting parents about the safety of their daughters. The company offers workers free food, lodging, and buses to ensure a safe commute at all hours of the day. On days off, women who live in Foxconn hostels have a 6 p.m. curfew; permission is required to spend the night elsewhere. “[If] they go out and not return by a specific time, their parents would be informed,” a former Foxconn HR manager told Rest of World. “[That’s how] they offer trust to their parents.”

[...] the Tamil Nadu government sent a strong signal welcoming Foxconn and other manufacturers: Authorities approved new regulations that would increase workdays from eight to 12 hours. This meant that Foxconn and other electronics factories would be able to reduce the number of shifts needed to keep their production line running from three to two, just like in China. [...] Political parties aligned with the government called the bill “anti-labor” and, during the vote, walked out of the legislative assembly. After the bill passed, trade unions in the state announced a series of actions including a demonstration on motorbikes, civil disobedience campaigns, and protests in front of the ruling party’s local headquarters. The government shelved its new rule within four days.

Indian Foxconn workers told Rest of World that eight hours under intense pressure is already hard to bear. “I’ll die if it’s 12 hours of work,” said Padmini, the assembly line worker.

For the expatriate workers, the slower pace of the factory floors in India is its own shock to the system. A Taiwanese manager at a different iPhone supplier in the Chennai area told Rest of World that India’s 8-hour shifts and industry-standard tea breaks were a drag on production. “You have barely settled in on your seat, and the next break comes,” the manager lamented.

In China, Foxconn relies on lax enforcement of the country’s labor law — which limits workdays to eight hours and caps overtime — as well as lucrative bonuses to get employees to work 11 hours a day during production peaks [...] five Chinese and Taiwanese workers said they were surprised to discover that their Indian colleagues refused to work overtime. Some attributed it to a weak sense of responsibility; others to what they perceived as Indian people’s low material desire. “They are easily content,” an engineer deployed from Zhengzhou said. “They can’t handle even a bit more pressure. But if we don’t give them pressure, then we won’t be able to get everything right and move production here in a short time.” [...] At the same time, the expat staff enjoy the Indian work culture of tea breaks, chatting with colleagues, and going home on time. They recognize they are helping the company spread a Chinese work culture that they know can be unhealthy. [...]

On the assembly line, Foxconn’s targets were tough to reach, workers said. Jaishree, 21, joined the iPhone shop floor in 2022 as a recent graduate with a degree in mathematics. (With India’s high level of unemployment, Foxconn’s assembly line has plenty of women with advanced degrees, including MBAs.) [...] “At the start, during my eight-hour shift, I did about 300 [screws]. Now, I do 750,” she said. “We have to finish within time, otherwise they will scold us.” [...]

Mealtimes are an issue, too. In December 2021, thousands of Indian Foxconn employees protested after some 250 colleagues contracted food poisoning. In response, the company changed food contractors, and increased its monthly base salary from 14,000 rupees to 18,000 rupees ($168 to $216) — double the minimum wage prescribed by the Tamil Nadu labor department for unskilled workers. [...]

Working conditions take a physical toll. Padmini has experienced hair loss because she has to wear a skull cap and work in air-conditioned spaces, she said. “Neck pain is the worst, since we are constantly bending down and working.” She has irregular periods, which she attributes to the air conditioning and the late shifts. “[Among] girls with me on the production line, some six girls have this problem,” Padmini said. Workers said they regularly see colleagues become unwell. “The day before yesterday, a girl fainted and they took her to the hospital,” [...] Padmini, at 26, believes she is close to the age where the company might consider her too old. “They used to hire women up to age 30, now they hire only up to 28,” she said.

Last December, Mahesh Odedara signed a contract to live and work for five years in a foreign country thousands of miles away from home and mired in a state of war. Odedara, a 30-year-old farmer from Porbandar, a city in western India, was aware of the risks of working on an Israeli farm. But Odedara’s contract promised him a steady, eight-hour workday, robust workers’ rights under Israeli law, and a 5,571 shekel ($1,500) monthly salary—many times more than what Odedara earned in Porbandar. It was too good to turn down.

Israeli farms are in dire need of agricultural workers like Odedara. Following Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, the Israeli government barred tens of thousands of Palestinian laborers, a critical component of Israel’s agricultural workforce, from entering the country. By early winter, farms were facing a “manpower crisis.” With no sign of government policy changing, farmers have since turned to importing thousands of foreign laborers from countries such as India, Malawi, and Sri Lanka to stay afloat.

At first, Odedara’s expectations were high. With his newfound salary, he would be able to send home hundreds of dollars each month to support his parents; the money could also go toward purchasing equipment for the family farm. One day, Odedara hoped, he might even be able to buy a home for himself in Porbandar.

But soon after arriving in Israel, Odedara realized that his employers had little intention of honoring his contract. In Ahituv, a farming community in northern Israel, Odedara worked grueling, 11- to 12-hour shifts picking produce; he was forced to work on weekends and was told he would be paid far below the legal hourly minimum wage. Then, at the end of the month, he was not paid at all—Odedara’s boss informed him that his wages had been sent, inexplicably, to his employment agency instead.

(When reached for comment, Odedara’s former employer denied that Odedara had ever worked for him; however, another migrant worker who independently mentioned working for the same employer corroborated Odedara’s claims about labor conditions and missing wages. The employment agency did not respond to a request for comment.)

Odedara’s housing, which farms provide for their workers, also bordered on the uninhabitable. In Khatsav, where Odedara worked for eight days, he slept in a makeshift room erected out of wooden planks and panes of sheet metal; his bathroom was a toilet in an outdoor shack with a dirt floor, and the shower had no hot water. In the first few months, Odedara lost nearly 25 pounds.

Odedara now “really regrets” coming to Israel, he said, even though he counts as one of the lucky ones: Odedara’s brother, Bharat, had already worked in Israel as a caregiver for four years and was eventually able to find him a job at a farm with far better labor conditions.

Yet Odedara’s experiences in Ahituv and Khatsav are far from unique. According to Bharat, abuse and illegal labor practices are widespread. “I used to meet all the new people coming in for agriculture. I was talking to them, and everyone has the same problem,” Bharat said. “They have to fight for their salary, for their rights, for their basic requirements. Nobody is helping them. They are helpless.”

Farming is fundamental to Israel’s national identity, yet the country’s agricultural sector has been reliant on non-Israeli labor for decades. In 1967, after Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza, the government decided to integrate the territories’ residents into the Israeli economy. Since then, “Palestinians have been integral to the Israeli labor force,” said Adriana Kemp, a sociologist at Tel Aviv University who studies Israeli labor. “You could not talk about whole sectors like agriculture or construction without talking about this large number of Palestinians.”

By the 1990s—following spates of violence from Palestinian militants—Israel began “talking about the possibility of opening the gate for overseas labor migrants,” Kemp said. “That’s when they started actually bringing [in workers] from different countries.” But even so, Palestinians stayed in large numbers; in 2021, tens of thousands of Palestinian laborers made up a quarter of Israel’s total agricultural workforce.

Then came Oct. 7. Claiming that agricultural workers from Gaza had provided intelligence to Hamas fighters, the Israeli government barred some 20,000 Palestinian agricultural laborers from reentering the country. (Israel’s internal security service has since partially disputed this finding.) Around the same time, some 7,800 Thai workers, previously the largest population of overseas workers in Israel due to a 2012 Israeli-Thai bilateral agreement, fled after at least 39 of them were killed in the Hamas attack.

Almost overnight, the agricultural sector lost over a third of its entire foreign workforce. In the early weeks of the war, even though Israeli volunteers stepped in to help struggling farmers, farms hemorrhaged profits. By November, to replenish the labor force, the Israeli government announced that it would allow up to 5,000 overseas workers into the country via a new immigration scheme.

When Orit Ronen heard about the scheme, her immediate thought was that it would lead to “one big balagan”—Hebrew for a “chaotic mess.” Ronen, who works at Kav LaOved, a Tel Aviv-based labor rights nonprofit, was acutely aware of how vulnerable the new arrivals would be, given existing exploitation. Ronen also knew that many farms lacked sufficient infrastructure to house workers, since the farms’ previous Palestinian laborers had simply commuted in from the West Bank or Gaza.

Ronen was right to worry. Since early December, when thousands of new laborers began arriving in Israel, Kav LaOved has received more than 300 requests for information and assistance from workers reporting a litany of abuse. The conditions Odedara and others have experienced are blatantly illegal under Israeli labor law. But ever since the Oct. 7 attack, labor law enforcement has been “less than before,” Ronen said. “And even before, it was low.”

The Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA), the Israeli government agency tasked with labor law enforcement, did not respond to requests for interview. “We have the call center for foreign workers, where they can explain exactly the problem, and they will be checked,” PIBA spokesperson Sabine Haddad wrote in an email.

Migrant workers also often hesitate to contact PIBA’s call center for fear of retaliation; employers “are telling [workers] that we will send you back to India if you will not work as we say,” Bharat said. Employers “can’t do that. I know that, but [the workers] don’t. They are new.” (Israeli law allows workers to stay in the country for 90 days to find a new employer if they have been fired.)

The threat of deportation is especially potent because most workers are effectively stranded in Israel for the duration of their five-year contracts, thanks to the outsized fees they paid before departing for Israel. In Odedara’s case, an agent in India asked him for $6,300 in an under-the-table payment, which he paid for with his family’s savings.

These fees are not a new phenomenon, but labor advocacy organizations scored a major victory in 2012, when Israel and Thailand established a bilateral agreement that eliminated predatory fees for Thai migrant workers. The post-Oct. 7 immigration scheme, which has no such provision, threatens to undo this progress. “The [workers] that come, especially from India, paid thousands of dollars” to brokers, Ronen said. “For them, that’s a very big deal, and that makes them very vulnerable.”

And then there is the war. Melbin Paul, a 29-year-old from the southern Indian state of Kerala, was assigned to work at a poultry farm close to the Israel-Lebanon border, which the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has fired rockets across nearly every day since Oct. 7.

On the morning of March 4, Paul looked up from trimming an almond tree and saw a missile heading straight toward him and his fellow workers. “There was no time to run,” he said. The projectile, a Hezbollah anti-tank missile, made impact “in the blink of an eye.” Paul’s friend, 31-year-old Kerala native Pat Nibin Maxwell, was instantly killed. Paul, who had stood a few yards away from Maxwell, was left with dime-sized shrapnel wounds scoring the right side of his body.

“Even before the war, it was very common for agricultural workers that work near the Gaza Strip to be injured or killed,” said Michal Tadjer, a lawyer who runs a workers’ rights clinic at Tel Aviv University. Maxwell is one of at least a half-dozen agricultural workers who have been killed by rocket fire in the past decade.

Following the April 13 Iranian strikes on Israel, the Indian foreign ministry urged its citizens in Israel to register themselves at the Indian Embassy and “restrict their movements to the minimum.” The warning belies the reality that the new workers have far less understanding of the security situation than longtime Palestinian laborers or Thai migrants, who have been in Israel for decades.

Paul and his friends had never even been told that their farm was located in a closed military zone that Margaliot residents had evacuated in mid-October. “This is my first time in Israel,” Paul said. “I [didn’t] know where the firing and war” was.

Yet the scale of migrant worker exploitation could soon grow even worse. Fewer than 3,000 new agricultural workers have arrived since November; an additional 8,000 to 12,000 workers are needed to bring farms back to full labor capacity, according to Ronen. A separate deal is already in place to bring 10,000 Sri Lankan laborers to Israel over the coming months. More balagan is likely to follow.

There will also be profound security consequences to shifting away from Palestinian labor. Before Oct. 7, the income of Palestinian laborers in Israel made up about 20 percent of the Palestinian Authority’s GDP. For months now, Israel’s internal security service has called for Palestinian workers from the West Bank to be let back into Israel, warning that increasingly dire economic conditions in the West Bank will lead to further destabilization and violence. But right-wing ministers in the Israeli government have refused to lift the ban, citing the need to move away from Palestinian labor at all costs.

For the workers, their salaries are far beyond the meager sums they could earn back home. For Odedara, there’s much left to do: His current job, while a significant improvement over his previous stints, still pays below what his contract stipulates, and then there is the matter of getting his missing wages back. Odedara is “going to find a solution,” Bharat said. “He wants to stay here but in a good condition—not like this.”

Regardless, the post-Oct. 7 wave of new arrivals will remain in Israel until 2029—meaning that, for at least the next five years, many Palestinian farm workers will not have a job to return to even if the ban on Palestinian labor is lifted.

The only certainty, it seems, is that Israel will have to continue to look beyond its own population for labor. “Israel has relied on noncitizen labor in agriculture for a long time, whether Palestinian or non-Palestinian,” Kemp said. “This structural dependence will not go away.”

In China, Foxconn relies on lax enforcement of the country’s labor law — which limits workdays to eight hours and caps overtime — as well as lucrative bonuses to get employees to work 11 hours a day during production peaks. Two foreign employees at the Sunguvarchatram plant told Rest of World that Foxconn used bonuses and promotional opportunities to encourage engineers and managers in India, too. But five Chinese and Taiwanese workers said they were surprised to discover that their Indian colleagues refused to work overtime. Some attributed it to a weak sense of responsibility; others to what they perceived as Indian people’s low material desire. “They are easily content,” an engineer deployed from Zhengzhou said. “They can’t handle even a bit more pressure. But if we don’t give them pressure, then we won’t be able to get everything right and move production here in a short time.” Three current and former Foxconn employees told Rest of World that the foreign managers and technicians hurled the same abusive language they used at home at underperforming Indian workers. It happened less often after some of them complained to HR, one employee said. But the foreign staff are still frustrated by local workers’ performance. “They know how to do it, but they are slow,” the employee said. “They even walk slowly.” A foreign manager complained that Indian workers requested leave too frequently — to care for sick family members, for instance — or for reasons they considered insufficient, such as a “blood moon” lunar eclipse, deemed particularly inauspicious for women. They and another foreign manager said Indian workers were also frequently late to meetings.

Bangaloreans ka Dabba Gul

The Mumbai Dabbawalas are a remarkable example of an efficient food delivery service that has been operating in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai since the late 1800s. Their primary function is to deliver home-cooked meals from customers’ homes to their workplaces, catering primarily to the city's office workers who crave the comfort of home-cooked food during their busy workdays. The Dabbawalas managed to deliver around 200,000 meals daily, relying on a complex yet effective logistical framework that incorporates traditional methods with an understanding of the local urban landscape. Each Dabbawala is responsible for picking up tiffin boxes filled with freshly prepared meals in the morning, which are then sorted and delivered to the correct locations using a unique color-coded system. This coding system allows them to identify the destination of each tiffin at a glance, ensuring that deliveries are completed with remarkable accuracy. The entire process, from collection to delivery, is meticulously timed, with most Dabbawalas finishing their rounds in under six hours, thanks to their deep familiarity with the city’s geography and public transportation systems.

Transportation plays a crucial role in the Dabbawalas' operations. They primarily take advantage of the city’s local train system to cover greater distances quickly. This multi-modal approach not only increases their efficiency but also allows them to avoid the heavy traffic that can often paralyze the city. Each Dabbawala typically handles around 30 to 40 tiffin’s each day, working in teams to streamline operations further. In recent years, the Mumbai Dabbawalas have faced several challenges that threaten their traditional business model. One significant issue is the increasing competition from modern food delivery services, such as Swiggy and Zomato, which offer a wide variety of cuisines and the convenience of online ordering through apps. These platforms have capitalized on the growing demand for diverse dining options and fast delivery times, drawing customers away from the Dabbawala system, which primarily focuses on home-cooked meals. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges, such as remote working arrangements which drastically reduced the number of office-goers in Mumbai, resulting in a substantial drop in daily deliveries. Furthermore, the increasing cost of living and inflation have impacted their earnings, as the cost of raw materials for the meals has risen, putting additional financial strain on both the Dabbawalas and their customers.

Sweatshops are not a recent phenomenon and have been covered in the media for decades. The fast fashion industry has long been complicit in a system that pays workers below subsistence in order to maximise profits. This business model, which focuses on selling mountains of clothing at unsustainable costs, has yielded less and less profit to those who directly create them. In order to manufacture things quickly and inexpensively, sweatshop workers – often women and children – suffer grueling workdays and meager pay that does not cover basic expenses, while offering them cruel working and living circumstances. In several manufacturing nations, including Bangladesh, China, and India, the minimum wage only covers half to a fifth of what a family needs to make ends meet. In Bangladesh, workers are paid about 33 cents per hour, while the average wage in sweatshops in India is barely 58 cents.

You are not the one…

Chapter One: Inception

I am Sameera, a banker by profession and mother of two boys in grades 5th and 7th. My husband works in a pharmaceutical company as a regional director. Even though I am quite caught up in day-to-day activities, I love it that way. My boys keep me busy like a beaver, always running in between my workspace and their rooms. I do have household help with kitchen duties which is a great blessing. My family and people from my in-laws’ side are very loving. Honestly speaking I do not have much to complain about, a good life partner, great kids, loving family, and a rewarding job. I always wanted to work in banking domain. It was never the pay package that mattered, for me it was always the work; and I am lucky that I do what I love to do. And that’s important.

Last Wednesday, like any other workday, was very busy as usual. My boys went to their school and my husband reached his office a bit early for an important company event. My day started as usual with a cup of green tea. Then I heard a notification on my phone. It was the sound of a personal email. I tapped the notification icon on my phone to have a quick look into it.

As I glanced through the sender’s email address, it caught my eye. It was from my college’s official alumni group. They are organizing a reunion event for the first time since we left college. The first question that came to my mind was “Why now?”. It’s been so many years now since I left college.

I started to ponder if I really wanted to respond but memories started to flash, and it turned out to be a mixed bag of feelings. Some memories were great, but some were not so. Although I am in touch with a few from my batch, we never took the initiative to meet one another. Coincidently, all of them settled in Kolkata like me, and we occasionally meet with each other in local shops or metro station couple of times. We exchanged our phone numbers but ultimately everything was reduced to text messages only.

Before my tea turned into a cold drink, I started ringing all of them to discuss the email. Not sure why I didn’t text them; it seemed my subconscious mind was already into it. As we started chatting, most were equally surprised except Anita. She knew a few details. There is this guy Avinash from our batch, now settled in USA, took the initiative, and connected with few others and planned for this reunion in December. Avinash always visits India during Christmas holidays and this time he decided to organize a get-together with his old college buddies. So, basically it is his idea to bring our whole batch under the same roof after so many years.

I could not concentrate much on my office work. I checked my work calendar quickly, there were no meetings in the second half. So, I took a half day off and kept collecting information about this event.

It was almost evening when my boys came back from their Karate lessons after school and my husband called me and informed, he would be little late for our evening tea. I shared the news with my boys, and they were very excited. The younger one asked, “Mom, can we join you? We really want to see your college friends.” I smiled, stopped for a while to prepare my response for a ten-year-old. I told him that it is only for the batchmates, and I don’t think anyone will bring their family. But if I hear anyone is bringing, I will make sure both of you are coming with me. They gave a smile and got busy with their tasks. Meanwhile, my husband came home, and I shared the news. He was equally excited and said that I must join them and have fun with friends and refresh some college memories.

A few weeks passed by, and it was almost the time for the reunion. We received a follow-up email with the venue and other details.

I called a few of my friends to make sure they were also coming. Otherwise, I would drop my plan. And yes, all of them are coming and I was relieved. I was quite settled in my mind and started planning for the reunion day. But one question was always in my mind “Is HE coming?”

Chapter Two: HE

Like many, school life left me with unforgettable memories. Towards the end of the high school year, my two besties fell in love with each other; this should have made feel happy, I rather felt awkward although they tried their best not to make me feel so. I made lots of friends during my school days but there was always loneliness. My heart kept searching for a special one; there were all the emotions which I wanted to share with someone, someone special but there were none. So, I wished for a college romance.

Here came “HE”; Akash, the very first student I met in the hallway. One could easily say that he was a good-looking guy. I joined the college for my undergrad a week later due to some admission complexities and my name was published in the second list. Hence, my first college day was not Day-1 like others. I was a bit nervous but very excited for my first day. I went directly to the principal’s office and from there to my classroom. As I said “hello” to everyone, I was thrilled to see the same face sitting in my classroom. I understood that we both had enrolled for the same course. My heart was beating fast. When I think of this now, I tend to think that it was not a great beginning for a future “Banker”. Between all odds, we became very good buddies. May be slightly more than just good friends. We both felt for each other but never shared the same. Akash was my project partner throughout my college years. We always paired up with two of the other students and got involved in various activities.

Chapter Three: The College Days

I completed my master’s in economics but what I am going to share now is from my bachelor days.

A few weeks passed, I came to know more students from my class and started hanging out after college hours. The whole batch was divided into small groups of four for project work and we made sure that Akash and I were again looped into one group. I was feeling on cloud nine and was very confident that the whole universe wants us together. It was just a matter of time.

Happy times go fast like an arrow and more importantly I developed a crush on my classmate. Life became a dreamy sequence, and everything was extra sweet, even the boring theory classes were so interesting.

Soon, we all progressed into the second year. A few of our common friends started giving us names. It was hard for them to believe that we were just good friends. I was confident from Akash’s side it is true friendship and from my end I was desperately trying to move it forward beyond being “Just good friends” but without being much vocal about it.

It was a great second year in college. Along with studies, we organized cultural events and youth parliament. We also conducted events like “Expert Talks” where successful bankers from different parts of the country would come and give speeches on the current market trends and expressed their expectations from the young talented students.

Soon, it was time for the second-year final exam and results were out within a month. Now, the final year of our bachelor’s degree.

To be honest, it was tough on my part to suppress my feelings for Akash and act normal. I tried a few times to share how I felt but was very scared of losing him as a friend. The reason behind that was Akash never showed any signs about us being more than just friends. He was excellent as my best friend, but it was still far from reality to think of him as my future life partner. So, I kept mum and continued with the current. Somehow, deep down I was expecting him to express his feelings or propose to me and I would say yes. That would have been an easy way. I didn’t want to take the first step.

Months passed, and we were almost near our last college exam. Akash was very supportive during those last days as I always had “Testophobia” which is a fancy word for exam stress. It was almost a ritual that after every exam he would take all of us to a local vendor and treat us with fresh glass of coconut water. It really felt nice to see that caring trait in Akash’s nature.

But I always had a question in my mind why he never asked me alone. Finally, it was our college graduation day and our farewell party arranged by the junior batch. As seniors, some of us were also participating in a few cultural events. I was also a free makeup artist for that day for the other participants. Overall, it was super hectic and the reason I never got captured in our batch group pictures.

It was almost the last leg of the cultural events, and I heard one of my friends yelling my name. She told me that Akash was searching for me very desperately. He really wanted to say something very important, but I couldn’t leave backstage, so I told her that I couldn’t leave then.

Time doesn’t wait for anyone. Years later, I came to know from that very friend that Akash announced to our friends’ group that he wanted to propose to me. He never realized before but on the last day he thought he had something more than just friendship. But also, he declared that if he couldn’t share his feelings on that day or I somehow rejected him, he would not be in touch with me anymore, not even as a friend.

When the cultural event ended, all the participants were called on stage for some prize distribution. Once, I was free of duties and I looked for him and could not find Akash. Till today, I do not know why he did not wait for me to say what he wanted to say.

My sweet one-sided love story ended on that day.

Chapter Four: Reunion Day

My family was happy about my graduation and at the same time wanted me to go for the Masters in the same college or from any other leading university. I didn’t have much choice as most of my family members have a huge list of degrees. I decided to stay in my college. Very few of my batchmates took similar decisions like me so I could not see many known faces in my grad classes. I had dived deep into my studies. I didn’t want to miss any opportunity to land a decent job in the banking sector.

I waited but never heard back from Akash. I asked many of our friends, but no one could tell me much about him. I tried to send him emails, but all my emails bounced. I figured he chose to shut all his windows for me. I did not find a reason for Akash’s odd behavior.

Time passed, I completed my master’s degree and started as a junior sales manager in a private bank. I became quite busy with my new job responsibilities. One Saturday, I received a text from Manisha who was working in Bangalore. She had seen Akash hanging out in a mall with another girl from our batch. She could not recall the girl’s name. I was very curious and started asking her all the possible questions to figure out who this girl was. Finally, Facebook came to my rescue, and it was none other than “Priyanka”, the drama queen of our batch.

Manisha believed they were in a relationship. My last hope to get a call from Akash faded away.

Curiosity filled within me, and I was after all a human with just a brain, not a heart anymore. I quickly pulled Priyanka’s profile to get a glimpse of Akash, how he looked now. But weirdly, there was no information about him in her profile. It was even hard to say that they were a couple as her relationship status still showed “Single”. It could be that she just forgot to update her profile.

I simply decided to close that chapter completely and move forward with my life and with my job. And I did well. I got promoted to a new job role after two and half years. My parents were so happy with my progress in life but like so many other parents started looking for a suitable groom. I really did not want to be tied up in a family but there came a time I agreed with them. And after six months of search and validation, I got married to a doctor in an arranged matrimony.

My husband Girish was a medical professor when we got married. He was not interested in a day-to-day doctor’s job. He preferred the life of a teacher to shape medical students in their specialized subjects. We had very different careers but our tuning was on the same pitch. We had a lot in common and the weekends were real fun in our busy schedule. We both are very close to our families, and it was very important for both of us to spend quality time with elder family members.

Coming back to where I started this story, I do not have any regrets or complaints at present and am very happy around all the people I have in my life.

Chapter Five: Planning and Preparation

Now the waiting. College Reunion is just few weeks away. I was excited with the hope to see Akash after so many years. I gathered all the updates about him. He is now settled in Bangalore and married to Priyanka. They have a daughter. When I heard about Akash marrying Priyanka for the first time, I just had a smile on my face. She is not the one Akash ever described how his future life partner would be. Priyanka was in a steady relationship in our college days but it’s quite clear as water now that the relationship didn’t last long. It is not difficult for them to be together as they both were working in the same city, but I have no idea how it started Well, I am not curious about that, but Manisha kept me filling with the details of how they soon felt head over heels for each other. The rumor about them is that Priyanka, being overly possessive about Akash, does not allow him to keep in touch with any of our classmates, especially the girls. I really don’t care about any of these, but it is quite funny as most of us are in our mid 40’s now. I don’t think any one of us will try to snatch Akash from her now.

It’s true that being a good-looking boy Akash used to get a lot female attention, but I could never have guessed in my wildest dream that Akash would finally marry Priyanka.

With all these thoughts going through my head, I opened my wardrobe and started looking for what to wear for the event. I must look pretty. I am a bit confused whether I go with my present day or jump straight to my teenage days in college. Do I need to make an impression? I don’t even know if he is coming. Whatever it is, I simply want the best “Saree and Jewelries” from my collection.

I could not explain much why I want to look best and what are my intentions behind doing all that. But I can just guess that there could be a tiny dot in my heart and it’s like a vacuum. It’s not filled with love yet. For these long-married years, Akash was never in the picture but is there still a slight soft spot for him subconsciously that I was also not aware of? If I can renew my friendship and just stay in touch with him, can I fill up that vacuum? Or is this just my silly predictions? Enough planning no more wild guesses.

Chapter Six: Reunion Day

Finally, it’s the December 19th morning. The reunion is purposefully planned for Saturday evening as more of us could join. That little birdie just tweeted via my phone that Akash is coming but Priyanka is staying back with her daughter. She has a plan to visit her parents and cannot drop her plan just for the sake of some long-lost faces she doesn’t want to remember again. I again have that smile and thought “Is the universe again taking my side?”

I already chalked out the plan for the day. I will leave early and go to a hair salon for spa and then go to the venue directly.

Everything went according to plan, and I am finally in the event hall. My eyes are searching for him. And then, finally at the meet and greet hour I see Akash. He has changed a lot, gained quite a bit of weight, and lost some of his hair but still has that charm. I just yelled at him as there was a huge crowd. He turned back and was equally excited to see me. I am again doing the same which I am best at. I am acting as if I am completely unknown about his present life with my fake excitement. He seems to be little shocked hearing that I got married so early and have two school going kids. My next step is to get his contact number. And yes, we just exchanged our numbers. Now I am with other friends and having a gala time. Refreshing the fun college days, we are all lost in our past. We are teenagers again.

Chapter Seven: The Time In-Between

I booked a cab and came home with a happy heart. Girish and kids are sleeping but my sleep escaped my eyes. I started searching Akash’s profile on Facebook. I was slowly opening a closed book and was not sure how it would impact my present life.

I could not find his profile, so I sent the first text “Are you in Facebook?”. I was not expecting a quick reply, but to my surprise the reply came in a few seconds, and he really had a funny profile name. No doubt I was not able to find him. I finally added “bong_eagle” to accept my Facebook friend request. Akash still needed to accept it and then only I could browse all the details shared on his profile. Don’t get me wrong, I am just a normal human being and a bit thrilled to reconnect with my old crush, that’s it.

Next morning, I saw the request was still pending. I was a little mad at myself. I should have waited a tiny bit longer. But I received a text from Akash that he wanted to meet me and a few other friends in some café before he left for Bangalore.

I am a little bit angry with my old pal. He did not check Facebook at all for the entire time and it was hard to believe. I once was again just going with the wave. I responded back in a text that I am really caught up with some personal work and would try my best to join them. I was about to skip the get together if possible.

Suddenly, my phone chimed again, and it was a notification from Facebook. Akash just accepted my friend request, and we are now connected on Facebook. My heart was pounding fast. Now, I couldn’t miss this get together and all my reservations just fumed away into the thin air.

Akash was my special friend in college but what about the other way around. How close or special was I to him? I honestly have no answer for that. I could have just assumed that I was his best friend. He could have similar friendships with others as well. I was either very stupid or was overconfident about our relationship. My one-sided love for him made me completely blind.

Chapter Eight: Café Date

Sunday evening. Kids were having some fun time at their grandparents’ house. Monday was a holiday, Girish stayed back with them at his childhood home. I was all alone and decided to enjoy the private time to the fullest. I wore the best fitted black dress and a turquoise beads necklace and matching earrings. “Was I going in a wrong direction?” Perhaps not, just normal human complexities.

I reached “Coffee Time”, the café we all decided to meet. Luckily, I saw Akash sitting alone at a table and others were still on their way. I went straight to the table and Akash was feeling slight uncomfortable. I can see that clearly on his face. But he tried his best to behave normally. It was quite natural, when you are out of touch with an old friend and have no common topics to discuss.

He started the conversation, asking questions about Girish, my kids. I also tried to be polite and asked a few questions about Priyanka and their daughter. Meanwhile, the rest of the party came, and we all chatted for quite some time and planned to leave before dinner.

As I was about to catch the cab, I saw Akash standing behind me. He asked me whether I could join him at dinner at some nearby restaurant. I couldn’t disclose or show him signs but that’s exactly what I was planning for the past few days but controlled my emotions and said “ok”.

He asked again for a confirmation “Would your husband mind?” I assured him that Girish and the boys were at his parents’ house, and I would be all my own for the rest of the day. It didn’t matter if I was eating at home or outside. I suggested a name as I have dined there before and liked the food and ambience. Akash agreed easily, which was quite a bit strange as he was always very particular about checking online ratings before entering any restaurant. But this time he trusted me without a question.

We reached and took our seat in a corner. The waiter came and poured water on our glasses and gave us the menu. Akash clearly asked me to order as I knew better than him about the menu and went to restroom.

I remembered all his favorites and ordered accordingly. He had a tiny curve on his lips when the food arrived as he saw all his favorite items together in the table.

Akash asked, “Why you didn’t order chicken lollipop, isn’t that your favorite?” And he added “I have seen that in the menu”. I also matched his smile and replied, “You are in my city, so let’s try something you like.” He could not say more, and we started eating and talking about our jobs and family.

I had several questions in my mind, I wanted to ask like why he never kept in touch after college, why he never contacted me since then etc. etc. But thought not to bring the odd old topics and just enjoy the current moment.

I cannot deny, I had a great time. We both booked cabs and left. He was staying in his aunt’s home in North Kolkata. His parents also moved to Bangalore to live close by their only son.

Next day, it was relatively slower as it was a holiday. I was waiting for Girish and the boys to come home and texted Akash “Have a safe flight” as he was returning to Bangalore the same day. He texted back promptly “thanks 😊”.

Chapter Nine: Falling Apart

The following week was a bit hectic, so didn’t take any initiative to contact Akash and I did not hear anything back from him as well. A few weeks passed. I messaged in Facebook messenger “Hi, what’s up?”, just to make sure everything was fine at his end.

I didn’t receive any reply for a long time. It was almost a month and I saw a notification in the messenger from Akash. I went to my workspace and tapped the notification to read it.

It was a big paragraph. I was not able to guess what that was about.

It says “Hello! I am doing well. After a lot of thinking, I have decided that I cannot continue our chats here. It’s been a long time since we left college. We both have our own family and responsibilities. Our friendship may affect other lives such as my wife or your husband. You know Priyanka, so I will not explain to you much about what happened when I shared the news that I met you after the reunion and we had dinner together. I need to really focus on my wife and daughter now, hope you will understand. And about your husband, I have never met him before. I am still a stranger to him and so, can guess how he will take our renewed friendship. I am sure he will also feel the same way my wife feels. It’s better to end our ‘thing’ and go back to the old self. We both will be happier. Before unfriending you, just wanted to ask a question ‘Sameera, did you ever have any feelings for me back then?’”

And that’s the end of the message.

Now, I was mad. I was not thinking that way. It was just a re-bonding with a college pal and not to start an extra marital affair. But looks like Akash was thinking too much. It’s better to go back to where it was before the reunion.

So, I replied to his message

“Akash, I think you are right. We should stop our chats for the best. And coming to your question, No I never had anything more than how a friend feels about the other. But I would like to share one thing that I know what happened on the farewell day from Reeya. You remember you asked Reeya to bring me from the green room. She has told me everything you said to her.

So, I guess I am going to block you now. Be happy!”

And I blocked Akash everywhere. It was not as bad as I imagined. I was feeling quite confident about how I handled it. And I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Some people are never meant to be in your life and Akash is now added to the list. They are better as strangers who bring so much complexity to simple things and can make a simple thing more complex. There is no need to bring unnecessary stress. This friendship was never meant to survive after college, and I am very confident now that Akash was never a suitable person as my future life partner.

I thanked God for having Girish in my life and two beautiful boys. I promised myself to enjoy little moments with my precious family and make the most out of my life with what is remaining.

The End.

Tips for Working Moms: Balancing Work and Family Life

For working moms, balancing career demands and family responsibilities can feel like a daily juggling act. However, with the right strategies, you can create a more manageable balance, reduce stress, and enjoy quality time with your loved ones. Here are some practical tips that can help you achieve harmony between work and family life.

1. Set Realistic Goals and Priorities

Start by identifying your top priorities for both work and family. Focus on what truly matters and avoid overcommitting yourself. Break down large tasks into manageable steps and tackle them one at a time. This way, you’ll feel less overwhelmed and more accomplished each day.

2. Establish a Support System

Seek support from your spouse, family, and friends to help with daily responsibilities. Sharing responsibilities lightens the load and strengthens family bonds. If possible, consider hiring help for tasks like cleaning or cooking, so you can focus on spending more time with your children and taking care of yourself.

3. Set Boundaries Between Work and Family Time

Create a clear separation between work and family life to help you stay present in each area. When you're at home, try to avoid checking work emails or messages unless necessary. This will allow you to give undivided attention to your family and recharge for the next workday.

4. Delegate Tasks and Communicate

Don’t hesitate to delegate responsibilities at work. Communicating with your team and family about your schedule will also help them understand when you’re available and when you need time for focused work. A little coordination goes a long way in reducing misunderstandings and building a balanced routine.

5. Invest in Quality Childcare

For working moms with young children, having a trustworthy preschool or daycare can make a huge difference. Bachpan Play School, one of the top preschools in India, is an excellent choice for providing a safe and stimulating environment for your child. Known for its engaging curriculum and caring staff, Bachpan Play School focuses on early childhood development, allowing you to feel at ease knowing your child is in good hands.

6. Schedule "Me Time" for Self-Care

Balancing work and family can be exhausting, so it’s essential to set aside time for self-care. Even if it’s just 15–20 minutes a day, dedicating time to activities that rejuvenate you—like reading, exercising, or meditating—will help you maintain a positive mindset.

7. Embrace Flexibility and Patience

Balancing work and family life can sometimes require flexibility. Accept that some days will go smoothly, while others may not. Adjust your schedule when needed and approach each day with a positive outlook. Remember, being a working mom is a journey, and it’s okay to adapt as you go.

Conclusion

Achieving work-life balance is a continuous process for working moms, but with these tips, you can create a more harmonious routine that benefits both you and your family. Making a well-informed decision about childcare, like enrolling your child in Bachpan Play School, can give you peace of mind and support your child’s development. Prioritise, plan, and remember to take one day at a time—small steps lead to lasting balance and fulfilment.

Discover the Benefits of NormaTec Compression Therapy in India

NormaTec compression therapy, a revolutionary recovery method, has gained global recognition for its ability to enhance muscle recovery and reduce soreness. In India, where wellness and fitness are rapidly evolving, this therapy is making significant strides among athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals seeking effective solutions for better health and recovery.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete looking to optimize performance or someone dealing with muscle fatigue, NormaTec compression therapy offers an innovative way to aid recovery, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being. Let's delve deeper into the benefits of this therapy and how it can contribute to India's growing wellness culture.

What is NormaTec Compression Therapy?

NormaTec compression therapy uses advanced air compression technology to deliver a dynamic massage to the limbs, particularly the legs and arms. This therapy involves specialized sleeves that inflate and deflate in a controlled sequence, mimicking the natural muscle pump mechanism in the body. By enhancing blood flow and stimulating lymphatic drainage, it helps accelerate recovery and reduce muscle soreness.

The NormaTec system was initially developed by medical professionals to treat circulatory disorders but has now expanded its application to athletes and fitness enthusiasts for muscle recovery. It has become a popular recovery tool across sports, physiotherapy, and wellness centers globally, and its popularity in India is quickly rising.

How Does NormaTec Compression Therapy Work?

The technology behind NormaTec compression therapy focuses on gradient air pressure that targets muscle groups sequentially. The sleeves, which cover the legs, arms, or hips, work through a patented pulse technology to create a rhythmic massaging action. The therapy works in three distinct phases:

Pulsing: Instead of static pressure, NormaTec uses a pulsing action that imitates the muscle's natural pumping motion to increase fluid flow. This pulsing effect helps blood flow more efficiently through the veins, allowing quicker recovery.

Gradients: The sleeves apply varying levels of pressure on different parts of the body, working from the distal (farther from the heart) to the proximal (closer to the heart) areas. This gradient pressure prevents the backward flow of fluids, ensuring effective circulation.

Distal Release: Once the limbs are massaged and fluids are moved upwards, the device releases pressure in distal zones, which allows for greater venous return and lymphatic drainage.

This combination of pulsing, gradient pressure, and distal release has proven to be highly effective in reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and accelerating recovery times.

Why NormaTec Compression Therapy is Important for Recovery?

The physical demands placed on the body, whether through intense training, a long workday, or even everyday activities, can lead to muscle fatigue and soreness. NormaTec compression therapy helps alleviate these issues through its unique mechanisms, offering several key benefits:

1. Enhances Blood Circulation

One of the primary functions of this therapy is to promote blood circulation, particularly to the limbs. Enhanced circulation means that oxygen and nutrients reach the muscles more efficiently, which is crucial for muscle repair and recovery. Poor circulation can cause cramping and prolonged soreness, and NormaTec helps resolve these issues effectively.

2. Reduces Muscle Soreness and Fatigue

After an intense workout, lactic acid buildup in the muscles can cause discomfort and soreness. NormaTec compression therapy helps clear out metabolic waste products such as lactic acid, reducing muscle soreness and speeding up recovery times.

3. Decreases Swelling and Inflammation

Swelling and inflammation are common issues faced by athletes, gym-goers, and individuals recovering from injuries. NormaTec’s ability to enhance lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling and inflammation, providing relief from discomfort and promoting faster recovery.

4. Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion

NormaTec’s compression therapy helps relax muscles, reduce stiffness, and improve flexibility. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from injury or surgery, as well as for athletes looking to enhance their range of motion for better performance.

5. Accelerates Recovery

For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, NormaTec offers a solution to speed up recovery times. By enhancing blood flow and reducing muscle soreness, it helps individuals get back to training or competing faster, ensuring they can maintain peak performance.

Why is NormaTec Compression Therapy Gaining Popularity in India?

India’s wellness industry has seen exponential growth in recent years, with more individuals becoming conscious of their health and fitness. Sports and fitness are evolving rapidly, with more people engaging in high-intensity activities such as running, cycling, strength training, and yoga. As a result, the need for effective recovery tools is also growing.

NormaTec compression therapy is becoming an attractive recovery option for athletes in India, offering an effective and non-invasive solution to enhance performance and reduce downtime between workouts. Several factors contribute to its rising popularity:

1. Growing Awareness of Recovery Importance

The importance of recovery in sports and fitness is being recognized more than ever before. Athletes and trainers in India are realizing that recovery is just as crucial as the workout itself. NormaTec’s ability to reduce recovery times has made it a popular choice for those looking to maintain their fitness regimes without long recovery periods.

2. Accessibility of Advanced Wellness Technology

With the increasing availability of high-tech wellness tools and therapies in India, more fitness centers, physiotherapy clinics, and wellness facilities are incorporating NormaTec into their offerings. The accessibility of advanced technologies like NormaTec is making it easier for individuals across the country to benefit from effective recovery solutions.

3. Diverse Applications Beyond Sports

NormaTec compression therapy is not limited to athletes. It is also being used by individuals with sedentary lifestyles, office workers who sit for prolonged periods, and those recovering from injuries or surgeries. Its versatility makes it suitable for a broad demographic in India, from professional athletes to everyday individuals looking to improve their health and well-being.

Conclusion

NormaTec compression therapy is revolutionizing the way athletes and wellness enthusiasts in India approach recovery. With its scientifically-backed benefits, including enhanced circulation, reduced muscle soreness, and faster recovery, it is quickly becoming a go-to solution for individuals seeking better performance and overall well-being.

As the wellness and fitness industry continues to grow in India, NormaTec’s presence is likely to expand, offering a modern, effective solution for muscle recovery to people from all walks of life. Whether you’re an athlete looking to optimize performance or simply someone who wants to feel better after a long day, NormaTec compression therapy offers a unique and effective way to improve your recovery journey.

However, the cost of brand-new devices can be overwhelming, especially for freelancers, students, and small business owners. Enter the world of refurbished laptop—a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and powerful alternative that’s ideal for remote workers.

Whether you need a Refurbished MacBook Air, a second-hand laptop, or a high-quality refurbished laptop in India, platforms like Retechie offer a wide variety of options that combine affordability with premium features. Let’s explore why a refurbished laptop is the perfect solution for anyone working remotely.

1. Affordability Without Sacrificing Performance

One of the biggest advantages of choosing a refurbished laptop for remote work is the significant cost savings. A brand-new laptop, especially from premium brands like Apple, can be expensive. Refurbished laptops offer the same functionality at a fraction of the cost, making it easier for remote workers to access high-quality technology.

For example, a Refurbished MacBook Air offers excellent performance, portability, and long battery life, but at a price much lower than a new model. This is ideal for professionals who need powerful devices for tasks like video conferencing, project management, and content creation but don’t want to overspend.

Key Benefits:

Lower cost: Refurbished Apple laptops and other brands offer premium features at more budget-friendly prices.

High performance: These devices are tested and restored to like-new condition, ensuring you get top-tier functionality.

More value for your money: You can access better specifications, such as faster processors or more storage, for less money compared to new models.

2. Reliable Performance for Multitasking

Remote work often requires juggling multiple tasks—running applications, attending virtual meetings, and managing documents all at once. Refurbished laptops are more than capable of handling these tasks. Whether it’s a used laptop or a refurbished MacBook Air, these devices undergo rigorous testing and refurbishing processes to ensure they deliver reliable performance.

Platforms like Retechie offer renewed laptops that have been restored to function like new, with many even featuring upgraded components like a new battery or hard drive. This ensures that remote workers get a machine that can handle their daily workloads efficiently.

Why refurbished laptops are reliable:

Comprehensive refurbishing: Devices are repaired and tested to meet high-performance standards.

Upgraded parts: Many refurbished laptops come with new components, such as batteries or SSDs, to extend their life and reliability.

Long-lasting: Premium brands like Refurbished Apple laptops are known for their durability, even in refurbished condition.

3. Portability and Battery Life for Remote Flexibility

For remote workers who need to work from various locations—whether it's home, a café, or while traveling—a refurbished laptop offers the portability and battery life needed for a flexible workday. Devices like the Refurbished MacBook Air are perfect for remote professionals due to their lightweight design and impressive battery life.

Many refurbished Apple laptops are equipped with long-lasting batteries, making them ideal for working without access to power outlets for extended periods. This portability is crucial for remote workers who need to be productive from anywhere.

Key Features:

Lightweight design: Ideal for carrying between home and coworking spaces.

Long battery life: Keeps you powered throughout the day without needing frequent recharging.

Sleek and professional: Refurbished laptops from brands like Apple retain their premium design, giving you a professional image for virtual meetings.

4. Sustainable Choice for Environmentally Conscious Workers

Choosing a refurbished laptop is not only good for your wallet, but it's also an environmentally friendly choice. By opting for a second-hand laptop or a refurbished laptop, you are reducing electronic waste and minimizing the demand for new resources that go into producing new devices.

As remote work becomes more widespread, there’s an increasing focus on sustainable practices. Buying refurbished laptops in India through platforms like Retechie helps reduce e-waste, as you’re giving a second life to a perfectly functional device that might have otherwise ended up in a landfill.

Environmental Benefits:

Reduced e-waste: By choosing a refurbished laptop, you're contributing to reducing the number of discarded electronics.

Lower resource consumption: Fewer new materials need to be mined and processed, reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing new laptops.

Extended device life cycle: By refurbishing, these laptops can continue to perform for years instead of being prematurely discarded.

5. Wide Range of Options to Suit Your Needs

Whether you need a high-performance device for complex tasks or a simple laptop for everyday office work, there are plenty of options in the refurbished laptop market. Platforms like Retechie offer a variety of second-hand laptops and renewed laptops to meet different requirements and budgets.

From Refurbished MacBook Air for creative professionals and managers to more affordable models for basic administrative tasks, the range of refurbished laptops in India means that you can find exactly what you need for remote work without overspending.

Popular Models Include:

Refurbished MacBook Air: Lightweight, powerful, and ideal for professionals who need performance on the go.

Renewed laptops: Budget-friendly options for everyday tasks like email, document editing, and virtual meetings.

Second-hand laptops: A cost-effective choice for freelancers, students, and startup employees.

6. Warranties and Support for Peace of Mind

One common concern with buying a used laptop is the potential for issues down the line. However, reputable platforms like Retechie offer warranties and customer support with their refurbished laptops. This means you’re not only getting a more affordable device but also peace of mind in knowing that your purchase is protected.

The warranties provided on refurbished laptops in India often cover key components like the battery, screen, and motherboard. Additionally, buying from a trusted platform ensures you have access to after-sales support if any issues arise with your device.

Benefits of Buying from Retechie:

Warranty coverage: Most refurbished laptops come with a warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.

After-sales support: Assistance is available if any issues arise, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Thorough testing: Devices are tested to ensure they meet high-quality standards before being sold.

7. Quick Availability and Delivery

Unlike brand-new models that may require pre-orders or manufacturing wait times, refurbished laptops are typically readily available and can be shipped quickly. This is especially important for remote workers who need a new device immediately to keep up with their job demands.

Platforms like Retechie have a constant inventory of used laptops in India, making it easy to find and order a device without long waiting periods. Whether your current laptop has stopped working or you need an upgrade, refurbished laptops offer an instant solution.
