My Story — Joitree Debnath

How often do you find yourself trapped in the “Fresher” cycle? You just graduated, which means you have no real-world experience yet. So, all that your office folks ask you to do is either make coffee or handle tasks you have absolutely no clue about. “You dare leave on time? You’re a fresher. How can you be so strict about your time?” You are expected to spend your entire day doing unnecessary things in the name of being a fresher. And then the cycle continues.

Hi. I am Joitree. An Interior Design graduate by education but presently is in the mode of trying every new things possible. Life has never been this great until I comprehended, that I have the most supportive parents in the world.
