Skilling them softly with a revelation

NITI Aayog member Arvind Virmani is a sharp man. Last week, he bluntly observed, 'Job and skill are two sides of the same coin. If you have skill, then it becomes easier to get a job. This needs to be understood.'

Wow. Yes. Understood. Who would have thunk? Well, besides everyone....

Let's journey through what may now seem blindingly evident with our aam aadmi of choice, Jatin. Once upon a time, Jatin thought a degree in Procrastination Arts would land him his dream job. Spoiler alert: it did not. Jatin was left contemplating why he wasn't the next Satya Nadella.


But one fateful day, our Gen Dem Div (demographic dividender) discovered that skills - brace yourselves - actually matter. Our once-clueless hero decided to gain one. Now equipped with tech-savvy prowess, J-Man breezed through job applications like a hot knife through butter. He's now getting job offers left, right and centre. Turns out, when you can do a job, people want to hire you. It's like discovering an umbrella keeps you dry.

Utterly groundbreaking, right?

So, folks, if you're ever in doubt, just remember: skills = jobs. Now, go forth and go skill it. Because sitting around without the right skills and waiting for a job, as Virmaniji wisely says, is pointless. And, by skills, one is not counting impressive abilities like burping out the alphabet, or madly dancing in a baraat.
