Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
*Realigning routines
For people who are working full time, days are longer, but also filled with interstices that give valuable breaks, reflecting the work style of the future.Work days that begin at 9 a.m. can sometimes extend for 13 hours, because Mr. Sarup tackles calls and does meetings from both the East and WEST.
*Looking at little things
At the other end of the spectrum is Sweety Shalini Guria, whose day begins at 3 p.m. with cleaning the house and then some college work. A student at JNU, in the department of international relations, she couldn’t make it home to Ranchi, and misses her family.
*Starting something
A few people are alone though, with work only in the interludes. Namrata Joshipura, a fashion designer with her own label, says she does have team meetings online, and they try and develop artworks and layouts, but “our stores and factory are shut. The lockdown started on a very disappointing note with multiple cancellations internationally.
*Staying engaged
For Ms. Joshipura and Mr. Sarup, fitness, in the form they were used to, has taken a hit. Both are endurance athletes, used to running long distances. Determined not to let the lockdown push them onto the couch Ms. Joshipura, who doesn’t own a television, decided to practise doing a headstand.
