“The Ladder Was Short, Not Broken”
Situation
Ramesh joined a clerical government job in his early 20s. Friends chased promotions, private sector risks, city lives. Family once asked if he wanted to try something bigger. Ramesh said no. Over the years, people described his life as “stable but limited.” He heard it often.
