The past few days of lock down have been a learning curve. People have got time to regroup, rebuild, adapt, innovate and emerge.

Covid-19 has crippled our economy and wiped out the livelihood for many families worldwide. It's a sad state the world is right now and I wonder...What Next?

Was this all necessary?

How long it's going to last?

I fear a good 12 months to 18 months minimum. But, in hindsight, it has also given us good time make the best use of it.

It allowed me...

To set up my own home based office desk. Allowed me to have mixed of personal and professional life. Open up the creative side...

I am sure you have a story here too....

Good to see families reuniting...

Good to see people across the world having food together.

Good to see there is adequate time spent with loved ones.

Healthy Positive Vibes all around.

Appreciate ! It will appreciate.

But in the midst of this positive news there also lies the insecurity depicted in the media.

136 million jobs at risk in India

It's a sad thing to happen. Everyone's left wondering

"Are those jobs ever coming back"

In this current crisis, rehiring "expensive" employees will be the million dollar question.

Especially when now they can outsource that work (if not automate). Machines are awesome. They never stop. They are perfect employees.
