Everyone blamed the office Wi-Fi.
It crashed during client calls, slowed down daily at 4:00 PM, and rerouted important emails to spam. But I knew better.
This sleek corporate building stood on ancient land — once a battlefield where Shakuni, the wily strategist of the Mahabharata, was said to have muttered his final curse: “May no strategy thrive here. May every connection — digital or human — betray.”
IT rolled their eyes. But then Anaya joined.
Not from tech. A mythology geek with a startup dream — Myths Meet Modernity. She said our server crashes weren’t random — they were stories repeating themselves. One late night, after yet another Zoom fail, she traced a mandala in chalk near the router and whispered Sanskrit shlokas.
The lights flickered.
The next morning? Flawless signal. Emails? Delivered. Clients? Signed. Even HR stopped ghosting.
We didn’t question it.
Anaya just sipped her chai, smirked, and said, “Sometimes, you don’t debug. You uncurse.”
Now she’s Head of Strategy. Not because she fixed Wi-Fi, but because she decoded an ancient algorithm: belief, code, and myth woven together.
And that’s how we turned a cursed connection into a legendary network.
