The Ineligible Millionaire: “Arjun’s character is somebody that you grow fond of as a reader because Arjun is literally the humblest guy in the world, somebody who works really hard, somebody who is trying his best to deal with all the distress in his life. Still, life keeps throwing curve balls at him while he tries to dodge them. He keeps getting hit by them, but he doesn’t stop, and that makes his character extremely inspiring. This is the kind of book that gives out the message that good things are just around the corner and you just have to keep going.” – Saumya’s Bookstation

This should've been done in 3 days.

When I was Sr. Software Engineer and working in an MNC during 2011, my task delay was suddenly put under a spotlight. We were running behind but not because of laziness or lack of effort. There were delays from other teams, unclear requirements, and changing priorities. Still, I was asked to explain myself. I calmly walked through the reasons, hoping facts would help. They didn’t. The mood in the room stayed tense.

Then my team lead spoke but instead of support, he blamed. “You have 3 years of experience, this should’ve been done in 3 days. He said it loud, in front of everyone. I stayed calm and replied, “You have 9 years of experience. Does that mean you can do it in a day?” The room went quiet. People were surprised, but for the first time, they got the point.

Experience helps, but it doesn’t make someone a superhero. It doesn’t remove delays, fix unclear goals, or handle every challenge alone. We often think more experience means faster results but real experience means knowing how to deal with problems, not avoid them. Most delays happen because of broken systems or poor planning, not because one person failed.

If you’re a leader, remember this: trust grows from support, not pressure. Blaming people in front of others doesn’t fix anything, it just makes them feel worse. The best leaders ask questions, listen, and help solve problems. Delays will happen in any project. What really matters is how we talk about them and how we grow from them.
