“Doing Nothing Felt Like a Crime”
Situation
Pooja studied commerce in a Delhi college. Summer break came. Friends were interning everywhere — NGOs, startups, family firms. Her parents said stay home, help around, rest. Pooja felt useless scrolling through internship posts.
Thought Bubble
If I don’t do something now, will people think I’m lazy or stupid?
Having Said That…
She skipped that summer internship rush. The guilt was real. Later, she chose a focused internship aligned with her strengths. One season of doing nothing didn’t ruin her career. It gave her space.
