When Hope Got A Login ID

By Gaurav Jain

In a world obsessed with optics and outcomes, he was once the golden boy with spreadsheets tight, timelines tighter, and dignity intact. But when corporate applause fades into algorithmic silence, and rejection emails outnumber groceries, what's left of a man who did everything 'right'?

Set in the quiet wreckage of a layoff, this story is an honest, darkly humorous exploration of modern masculinity, middle-class pride, and the fragile architecture of a family held together by Maggi, muscle memory, and muted laughter.

Between unpaid EMIs, polite breakdowns, and childhood drawings of escape routes, he navigates the invisible toll of joblessness in a world that measures worth by LinkedIn updates and buzzwords.

At once tender and biting, this story captures the slow erosion of self-worth and the absurdity, resilience, and unexpected warmth that somehow survive it.
