While we may be living through turbulent times in history, we must remember that this, too, shall pass.
Some companies like Hewlett-Packard offered the ‘Work From Home (WFH) facility to their employees way back in 2008. At that time, WFH was considered a privilege that employees could enjoy when they were under the weather or they faced difficulties commuting to the office premises due to strikes, etc.
Since March 2020, most companies who could do it, have offered the WFH facility to their employees out of necessity. The COVID-19 pandemic has upended life as we know it.
While we may be living through turbulent times in history, we must remember that this, too, shall pass. Due to the lifting of lockdown, some people from the office may be working on-premises while others may be working from home. Effective communication channels must be available for team management and morale boosting.
Now that it’s been seven months into the new normal, let’s discuss some tips/hacks that can help us maximize productivity while WFH.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 might have had a box office collection of 260 crores INR and entertained Indian audiences, but it's full of problematic stereotypes.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 starts with a scene in which the protagonist, Ruhaan (played by Kartik Aaryan) finds an abandoned pink suitcase in a moving cable car and thinks there was a bomb inside it.
Just then, he sees an unknown person (Kiara Advani) wave and gesture at him to convey that the suitcase was theirs. Ruhaan, with the widest possible smile, says, “Bomb mai bag nahi hai, bomb ka bag hai,” (There isn’t a bomb in the bag, the bag belongs to a bomb).
Who even writes such dialogues in 2022?
Most of us dislike being called aunty because of the problematic meanings attached to it. But isn't it time we accept growing old with grace?
Recently, during one of those deep, thoughtful conversations with my 3 y.o, I ended a sentence with “…like those aunty types.” I quickly clicked my tongue. I changed the topic and did everything in my hands to make her forget those last few words.
I sat down with a cup of coffee and drilled myself about how the phrase ‘aunty-type’ entered my lingo. I have been hearing this word ‘aunty’ a lot these days, because people are addressing me so.
Almost a year ago, I was traveling in a heavily-crowded bus and a college girl asked me “Aunty, can you please hold my bag?” It was the first time and I was first shocked and later offended. Then I thought about why I felt so.
