How 'work from home' might be blocking innovation:

 - Just imagine you are at office in a tough client conversation and suddenly your colleague gets you up for a Chikmagalur taste coffee. On colleague's request you go and sit for a while at cafeteria ☕.  Suddenly you get emotional 😔 😭 and start sharing the context of email ✉️ you are about to write for this client. Your colleague starts listening 👂 and shares a creative and crazy 🤣 approach which exactly 💯 worked for you to handle that situation.  Do you feel this support and innovative ideas 💡 discussion so possible at work from home?

At the same time technology cannot give you that human support and feel as you can get being with a large team.   Brainstorming 🧠 sessions, casual chats 😎 by the watercooler and spontaneous meetings can all spark new ideas.

I did travel by bike completely for 1 month, and did not use Metro rail that particular month. I had a sense that I am not walking anymore, as completely I was dependent on bike. One fine day I received the Google activity report and I was looking at the Google maps report of my daily routine. In that report I was shocked to see that I had walked only for 3 kms in one entire month, whereas earlier month when I commuted in metro, I used to walk an average 3 km per day. I was in Utter shock to see the Google timeline report. My one day average walk had become one month average. I decided to get back to metro rail once again and start...
