"Organization के साथ भी, Organization के बाद भी" – A Tagline That Became a Way of Life

I still remember the first time I saw LIC's advertisement with the tagline "जिंदगी के साथ भी, जिंदगी के बाद भी." It wasn’t just a line, it felt like a life philosophy. It had meaning, depth, and an emotional impact. Since then, I started using a version of it in my own professional journey: “Organization के साथ भी, Organization के बाद भी”

In every job, we meet many people, but we connect with only a few. These meaningful connections go beyond daily tasks and office walls. I’m proud to say that some of my closest colleagues and team members from over 25 years ago are still a part of my life today. These are not just professional relationships; they are real friendships built on trust, respect, and shared journeys.

Of course, not everyone stays. Toxic colleagues, ego-driven bosses, and unaligned team members, these connections didn’t survive then and don’t exist now. But the opposite is equally true. Honest people, supportive teammates, and inspiring mentors, they’re still around. They’re the ones who shaped the journey. To them, I dedicate this post.

On this Friendship Day (August 3, 2025), I celebrate not positions, not promotions, but people. If you’re someone who believes in stepping on others to climb up, remember, the ladder may help you rise, but it's the relationships that help you stay. When the titles are gone and the emails stop, it’s the people who still remember you that count.

So here’s to the ones who stayed connected during the journey and long after it. You are my real earning.

I encourage everyone reading this to adopt the spirit of “Organization के साथ भी, Organization के बाद भी” Say it to the ones who stood by you, who worked with you, who mattered beyond projects and deadlines. Let your journey be remembered not just for results, but for the relationships that remained strong even after the work ended.
