A group of friends was left stunned after a quiet disappearance turned into an unexpected moment of celebration, when their close friend resurfaced with a major career update from Google.
The video, shared on Instagram by Aniket Tambe, shows two men recalling how their friend suddenly resigned from his job and then ghosted everyone for nearly 10 to 15 days.
In the video, one of them says their friend stopped responding to messages after quitting, leaving the group confused and concerned. “Humara ek dost tha… usne resign kar diya aur phir hume ghost kar diya,” he says.
The tone of the video shifts quickly, however, as the men reveal what happened next.
Joyful reactions win hearts:
One of them says that on a random morning, their friend messaged each of them individually. Curious and slightly anxious, they opened the messages only to be completely taken aback. “Shock kar diya hume,” he says, before showing a picture.
The image shows their friend standing in a Google office, with a caption reading “Software Development Apprenticeship at Google”. The unexpected update left the group both surprised and overjoyed.
“This win feels so personal,” the caption of the post reads.
The second man in the video goes on to describe their friend as someone who had always been hardworking and intelligent.
He adds that the friend was known for helping others and was deeply committed to his goals. “Banda bahut mehnat karta tha, bahut hoshiyar tha, hamesha madad karta tha,” he says.
The video did not just go viral for their friend’s achievement, but also for the joy and pride his friends showed. Their reactions, filled with smiles, laughter, and genuine admiration, struck a chord with viewers online.
Here’s how people reacted to the video:
