Discovering the new normal !
Rani Belliappa
Partner and Head - Learning & Talent Development and Business HR at KPMG Global Services (KGS)
Some facts that illuminated under the lockdown phase:
1) Connotations of Scotch & Bar gets a different view with Scotchbrite and Vim Bar in the kitchen... Domestic Chores can be embraced as a part of life and assistance comes from unexpected corners.
2) In all the chaos, the mind can be set to visualize the normalcy & the happy moments that lies ahead.
3) Virtual connects with my extended KPMG family is addictive.. A buffer time of 5 minutes for the women in a team is a requisite when working remotely :-)
4) Family points out the generation gaps: Was accredited a ‘Boomer’ tag while playing Dumb Charades with my son and his friends.
5) Re-connection is a phone call away: Connected with people whom I hadn’t spoken for years
6) Eat, Pray & Love: Feeling blessed for all that I have & the company of my near & dear ones in this life
7) Paying for the Gym Membership is not always the motivation you require to get fit... Lockdown provides a great opportunity to get fit and healthy.
8) Appreciate the finer things in life: Grit & solidarity playing out in living a simple & frugal life.
Hoping and praying for the end of the pandemic and the rise of human spirit. Be Safe, Healthy and Active !!!
