Work from Home Revolution

I stay at Vasai and my work place is Masjid Bunder, that’s what says, Shilpa one of the fellow commuters, she takes nearly 4 hrs, to commute from home to work and back. This is what “n” number of people say- but is there a solution for this? Why can’t the work place be closer to your home or the best is why can’t you work from home, got’ to be a very stupid question, but we really need to think on this, cos’ if we have a way out, there will be so many things automatically aligned and protected-

•    Like no crowded trains
•    No getting up early and reaching late
•    No skipping breakfast to reach on time to catch the train
•    No Bomb scare in a crowded train…ha ha ha(sounds funny but, very natural today)
•    No pressure of commuting so far and also reaching on time
•    You need not keep a full time maid
•    Socialite
•    Enjoy with your family, cos’ all you earn is to keep your family happy
•    Most important you’ll not spend more than half of your life in train

There are so many women like Shilpa who wants to spend a relaxed life, without quitting work, it might seem just nothing or minor for women who are rich and well off, but it does make a difference to a middle class women, who has to contribute to her household financials, I wish there is a way out someday….A revolution that might change lives and bring smiles!

  1. I have met a lot of people men/women who travel for 3-4 hrs to work every day. Travelling all the way from Jollarpettai to Chennai. You are right they hardly have a life. they cant leave their family in another city/town to stay close to their work place. Lower Middle class people really do slog it out. But I have found them to be the most cheerful.

  3. Interesting..
    I stay at Vasai too..
    so I can understand the pain if the commuters are aged 40+...
    but you know what...
    after certain time, even our local dabba becomes another family for us...
