Panel 1
Aarav (the developer): "Sir, the pressure is immense! This multitasking is killing me. I have to switch between the front-end and back-end tasks, and it's so hard to keep track of everything."
● Aarav's thought bubble: "He'll definitely buy this. 'Multitasking' sounds so much better than 'I was watching trading tutorials all morning.' I just need a bit more time for the market to close on a high."
● Mr. Subramanian's thought bubble: "Multitasking? When I was his age, I was writing code on a shared terminal and managing a household budget on paper. Let's see what this 'pressure' looks like."
Panel 2
● Aarav's thought bubble: "Okay, the Nifty 50 is recovering. Just need to sell this one stock before it dips again. Oh, my cousin just posted his Europe trip photos on Instagram... must be nice. My WhatsApp group is blowing up with memes about the new web series. It's not my fault, the world is just too distracting! How can anyone focus on just one thing?"
Panel 3
Mr. Subramanian: "Aarav, I see you have a lot on your screen. Perhaps focusing on one thing at a time would help manage the 'multitasking' pressure?"
● Mr. Subramanian's thought bubble: "Ah, there it is. The 'multitasking' station. Code on one corner, stock market, social media, and WhatsApp everywhere else. The only thing under pressure here is his Alt+Tab finger."
● Aarav's thought bubble: "Oh god, he saw it! Quick, switch to the code! Act natural. Maybe he thinks the stock chart is for a... data visualization project?Panel 4
● Mr. Subramanian's thought bubble: "These kids... they talk about burnout and mental health, but their biggest stress is the fear of missing out on a viral reel. We used to worry about compiler errors, they worry about their portfolio being in the red. A different era, a different kind of work pressure, I suppose. At least he's not playing Solitaire."
Panel 5
● Aarav's thought bubble: "Okay, okay, he's right. I need to focus. I'll close all the tabs. I will just code. Solid, uninterrupted coding. But what if that stock I was watching hits the upper circuit? A 20% gain is a 20% gain. It's practically part of my salary. Just one last peek. For financial planning purposes, of course. It's a responsible thing to do."
