A Perfect Work-Life Balance
A Perfect Work-Life Balance
Greetings,
Finally, the final month of a crazy year. No matter which way we look at it, it has been surreal. Our routines have been thrown in disarray. Plans and ambitions put on hold. Some dreams have even ended. But lockdowns and the inability to freely move around has helped us gain time to re-assess many aspects of life. The eternal quest for a good work-life balance continues. I am not sure if there is a good solution yet. For me, it still remains elusive.

The festive season is upon us and Christmas trees are being sighted all around the world. This picture from last year in Dubai was shared by Hiroyuki’s daughter, Mami. Santa’s question this year won’t be - ‘Have you been good ?’ It will be more in the lines of - ‘During this festive season will you please be good and take care of yourself and everyone around you? Will you please wear a mask to improve the safety of everyone around you?’
If you enjoyed reading this, you will enjoy what I post on Twitter.
