Guess what, mates! A whopping 128 research papers, on average, are submitted everyday across the world, over the last two months. These papers span across multiple verticals such as science, medicine, digital transformation, business management and economy among others. Most importantly, all of these are prepared in the context of the Pandemic: COVID-19.
Barring all the diverse practices we developed over a series of years, a situation has brought us all together in the same plane. One situation is transforming lives, lifestyle and living, some on a positive note and some otherwise.
With social distancing norms implemented across the globe, people from all respects are resorting to social media and online platforms for socializing and community connections. However, this means that people are more and more engaging on public forums but relatively lesser on inter-personal communication. Apparently, this lack of face-to-face conversations with individuals dims down the recognition and respect factors, dampening our morale, sometimes even without we knowing it.
But what goes around, comes around. If we have the right to criticize someone’s mistakes, we also have the responsibility to appreciate every little thing they did right. Hence, it is imperative that we spread out positive vibes in every facet possible. It’s time we extend our official conversations into a little bit of personal chat. It’s high time we start to mix up some lighter moments before we opine on team meetings and other virtual gatherings. It not only brings a smile to the recipients, but also makes us feel light and connected.
We all understand how hectic work might seem with the professional infrastructure around and mixing up household chores in the middle of it doesn’t make life easier as well. But let us be reminded of some courtesy amidst this. Irrespective of how much work we have, it shouldn’t hurt much to offer help to your colleagues and boss. The same is applicable at home as well.. And even if they accept your offer, no worries… What goes around, comes around…

Beautiful!! 🙂🤗
And while it’s so easy to get frustrated, even with a single “Tick in the box” going a miss among the umpteen things which are lined up for the day, it’s extremely crucial for all of us to beat those blues and emerge out of those shadows to be our optimal selves again. And one of the things which surely works like a strength boosting tonic are words of compassion and empathy from friends, family and colleagues (though, not necessarily in that order), reaching out to them more often just to check if they’re fine rather happy, and offer help in whatever little measure possible to bring them out of distress, with unlimited laughter and undying trust . After all, this is why we’re in it together…so that we can turn it around together. 🙂 And maybe that’s what we are learning to do.
