||I Miss My Office During The Pandemic||

There are lot of reasons to be in Love with my workplace. My office is in a big Tech Park in Chennai, and is surrounded by lot of greeneries🌿☘️🌳 which is really unusual these days in a city life. It's Obvious that I miss working in the Office environment, long chats with my Team, Physical Team Meetings, Birthday Celebrations, Biriyani Treats,Tea Breaks etc️. I miss Office Events, the only chance to get decked up with sarees and matching jewelleries. I miss Dominos and Hunan. I miss Afreen and Anu, my office besties and Gossips, hours of sharing baseless thoughts. I miss my cubicle, my second home, where I spent hours with countless emotions and it's the witness of many successes, failures and fight backs. I miss the food court, where we used to get everything from Chinese to Dessert items, under the same roof. Spent lot of "Me Time"s and "Bestie Time"s, there. 

On a funnier note, I am worried about my makeups and dresses as well. They are also on a long leave and enjoying the "holiday" time by lying in their usual places- off course, with no idea about the future🤦‍♀️. 

Lockdown has tought us many things like, to stay with bare minimum ingredients at home, to be dependent fully on "Internet based Life", to be self sufficient in every aspects but there is no alternatives of physical socialisation and Office is one of the greatest places to socialise with people. I really miss going to office and communicating people in a healthy environment. 

Now, on a  serious note, Get well soon the Mother Earth 🌎, we really need to socialise in a proper way. 

And To my workplace, Hope to see you soon!!!
