The viral video, which gained almost five million views, even reached former Infosys professional Param Arunachalam, who reposted it and recalled the old days with a sweet caption. He wrote, "I'm ex-Infosys from that period. 20-somethings now are fitter, more health conscious than we were. I think there were more smokers and drinkers then (sic) amongst us."

Arunachalam also described what the work culture used to be like. He said they "slogged like hell" and a 15-hour workday was routine. "I spent 50+ hours in the office once. Don't be misled by 90-second videos. It was a great time to work though, but that was because we had humbler backgrounds than the average employee now and we had more or better opportunities because the industry was nascent," he wrote.

He wrote that his first onsite trip was before he completed his first year in Infosys, and there were others in his batch who went before him.

Social media reaction

"Those who graduated with professional degrees in mid 90s did very well, even in India. Thanks to Manmohan Singh. He made dreams happen," one user wrote.

"So much class! They look relaxed. Everyone looks fit & sober too. No phone in hands either. Golden days when every upper middle class had some hope," another wrote.

"This must be in early 2000's and most of these would be working in Java, or Oracle DB," a third user attempted to correct the year mentioned in the caption.

"Khala Ka Ghar Nahi...": Akhtar On India Having It Easy In Asia Cup Final

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has warned Team India ahead of the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka. The Rohit Sharma -led side received a timely wake up call following its loss to Bangladesh in the final Super 4 fixture on Friday. While India had rested several key players for the game, including star batter Virat Kohli , Akhtar suggested that it was a embarrassing defeat. Sri Lanka defeated tournament favourties Pakistan to reach the final, and Akhtar feels that winning the final won't be a cakewalk for India. "We were not expecting that India would lose to a team like Bangladesh but they did. It was an embarrassing defeat. Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka. They are out of the Asia Cup, which is an even bigger embarrassment. India are still in the final. All is not lost for them. It was a great wakeup call for them to come back harder and make sure they secure victory in the finals but that will only happen if they play really well. Ye khala ji ka ghar nahi hai jaha pe India...

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
