It is day two since life returned back to normal in Colombo.
We are already rushing to the supermarkets and standing in line excited.
Everyone was speaking how life shall change and that we all shall be shopping on online stores and moving forward to a more social distancing lifestyle.
Soon as this lockdown was lifted we started gathering back at our homes, even to say hi and hello.
We had so many webinars on how WFH “Work from Home” shall be the NEW NORMAL.
Most are back at work again because we were bored at home, or our superiors were bored at home.
Yes if your work was affected in the past 50 days and if you were not productive during this period, and physically being at your workplace is how you earn and are productive, please go to work.
I am not saying life should not go back to normal but should go back to the “new normal”.
We had so many webinars, Zoom meetings, Skype meetings, and endless Facebook posts on the NEW NORMAL. How fast did it take for us to slip back into the old ways?
If you were productive being home; if you worked every day, met your deadlines, ensured that you assisted your team on their work, and at meeting their objectives, please continue to do so at home.
If you bought groceries online or from the truck that came to your home please continue to do so.
Thanks to all the business owners, drivers, delivery truck owners who brought us food and essentials, you guys are heroes! Our gratitude and appreciation cannot be expressed in words.
I urge you to continue those deliveries, firstly this would help the general public to create a habit and secondly would stop everyone from complaining that we had to go to the store because we are not getting any essentials to our homes.
Let’s try the simple things that we can do so that all we hear on news COVID-19 does change to something slightly normal.
Writing to you from home!
