'Unable To Bear Stress': NRI Wants To Return To India After 8 Years Abroad

An NRI man living in the US for the last eight years said he was considering resigning from his current job and returning to India after being unable to handle the stress and depression. In a social media post, the 36-year-old techie with seven years of experience detailed that they were struggling with health issues amid a toxic work environment.

"While things were going well initially, everything changed since last year. Toxic management, extreme stress and pressure due to AI push, office politics, etc., anyway, in total I have about 7 YoE now (5+ here in US)," the user wrote in a Reddit post.

The techie admitted never having a proper support structure in life, confessing he could no longer manage daily stress on his own.

"Through schooling, bachelor's, India work experience, and then here in the US, at this point, I just don't have the strength to be alone anymore while constantly fighting the stress at work," the techie said.

"I'm already taking high BP medications and antidepressants since last year. Every morning when starting the day I feel like I'll end up having a stroke. I've also started disliking tech with each day now."

The man sought the internet's help in planning their future course of action, adding that he was willing to take a low-paying job in India.

"I'm happy to take up any low-paying job too in India, with a better work-life balance. I am feeling completely lost, helpless and nowhere to go. Please share your thoughts and opinions."

'Never Doubt'

As the post gained traction, social media users urged the techie to take care of their mental health and return home if it meant staying closer to friends and family.

"Returning is not a bad idea at all. Since you mentioned you are taking high BP medications, just curious, do you do any exercise? I personally have benefited a lot from exercising- it helped me feel better," said one user, while another added: "Never doubt a move that brings you closer to your loved ones and improves your health."

A third commented: "Whether you return to India or not, do consider taking job with less stress, even with low pay. You have worked enough, it is time for you to take it easy and focus on yourself, you need a job that can support that."

A fourth said: "Nothing is as important as your mental health. You are in the prime of your life. You have peak physical energy, enough years of experience under your belt. And savings. You also don't have kids or a wife to take care of."

"Kick Her Out": Mahesh Jethmalani On Mamata Banerjee's "Won't Resign" Move

The call for dismissal of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee went up by a notch as senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani said her behaviour is "unpardonable" and a "challenge to the whole democratic system". Once an election is certified by the Election Commission, the Chief Minister ceases to be a Chief Minister, he said in an exclusive interview to NDTV's Padmaja Joshi.

"It is an insult and she deserves to be taught a lesson... I'm glad she did this. I'm glad that this is her attitude so that the Governor can dismiss her instead of her gracefully resigning... the Governor must formally dismiss her because she holds office at his pleasure," Jethmalani said. "If she insists on sticking like a lemming to her chair, then the Governor must unceremoniously dismiss her. I would like to say, given this conduct, kick her out," he added.

In case Banerjee continues to occupy her office, the Governor could send in the police and "evict her," Jethmalani said.

"She is a trespasser in the Chief Minister's office from now on. The moment the election is certified - election results are certified - she is a trespasser," he added.  

Banerjee, who lost the state to BJP yesterday after three consecutive terms in power, has refused to resign from her post.

"I have not lost, so I will not go to Raj Bhavan. I will not tender resignation," she told reporters at a press conference this evening. She has claimed that 100 seats have been "stolen" from her party.

Her unprecedented move can technically get her dismissed. In any state, the Chief Minister and her cabinet work at the "pleasure of the Governor". The term of the Bengal assembly ends on May 7.

Asked about her allegation that 100 seats in the state have been "looted". Jethmalani suggested that the 71-year-old go to court if she has any grievance on that score.

"File individual election petitions for all of them if you have so much evidence. You can waste the time of the court; the court will probably unceremoniously throw you out as well. You have already been given short shrift in the Supreme Court twice before. If you want to keep making yourself a laughingstock, go ahead and do it. You have a constitutional right to move court," Jethmalani added.

Banerjee, following her defeat in the Bhabanipur constituency, alleged that the government and the Election Commission has colluded to bring about this "victory".

Earlier today, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who won a third straight term in this round of election, also told NDTV that Banerjee should be dismissed.

"If she doesn't resign, she will be dismissed. The country doesn't run according to her whims. The Governor will wait for a certain period, and after that, she will be dismissed - it is as simple as that," Sarma told NDTV.

"You don't allow fencing on the border, and then you claim seats were snatched from you? This result should have come to you a long time ago. The people of West Bengal gave you a lot. Today, they have given a mandate to the BJP," he added.

Gill Asked About His Wedding Ahead Of IPL Clash. GT Captain's Reply Is Viral

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill was stumped by a question by broadcaster Danny Morrison during the toss ahead of the IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Gill won the toss and opted to bowl but the interaction took an unexpected turn as Morrison asked whether Gill is getting married. The GT captain was left stunned by the question before saying 'no'. The conversation ended abruptly as Morrison shifted his attention to Shreyas Iyer but the video of the interaction has already gone viral on social media. Here's a look at the full conversation between Shubman Gill and Danny Morrison - 

Morrison: Still, Shubhers, there are no wedding bells around the corner? Anything that we need to know about.

Gill: No. No. Nothing.

Morrison: Good to see you.

This is not the first time that Morrison left Gill completely speechless at the toss as he asked a similar question during the IPL 2025 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens.

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl against Punjab Kings.

GT made one change, handing Nishant Sindhu his debut, while PBKS brought in pacer Xavier Bartlett.

Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Nishant Sindhu, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Manav Suthar.

Punjab Kings: Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (c), Marcus Stoinis, Suryansh Shedge, Nehal Wadhera, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal. 

"Shubman Gill: We're gonna bowl first. I think we have been chasing well in the past few games and our bowling has been top-notch, so we thought we'll continue with the momentum. (Middle-order performing in the last game) Yeah, definitely in the last match, we spoke about our middle-order finishing the game and I think our Rahul bhai, batting in the middle, it was magnificent [to] watch and him finishing the game was exactly what we talked about."

"(What do you make of pitch?) Yeah, I think initially to start with there's something in it for the bowlers, particularly on this kind of a wicket. So hopefully we'll also see how it pans out. (What mark would you give the GT so far this season?) I think it's all about, especially in a tournament like IPL, such a long tournament, it's all about peaking at the right time and I think we are doing that. And I still feel our best game is yet to come, so I hopefully it's gonna be this one. (No changes?) One change - Nishant Sindhu makes his debut," Gill said at the toss.
