Making the Best of Chaos
It may look like I am late to the party. Let me assure, I am not. I am right on time, my time to look at effect of pandemic on my corporate life and its ripple effect.
I can very categorize this almost 1.5 year into 2 phases, with different areas of focus
The first phase was focused on the Work. Being a Workforce Strategist, it was a busy time, ramping up the infrastructure to support WFH (Work from Home), also the analytics support that is required and the flexibility needed in the ever-fluid situation. The team had to evolve in 24-48 hrs to delivery on war-footing the new asks with changed scenario. Truth be told, people in this vertical also understand that the chaos is an opportunity to push for changes for better. That’s what we did.
With approximate 2-3 hrs saved for each of us, we (all of us) were stilling on additional time in our hands that we saved from commuting.
In the first phase – the additional time was taken up by trying to get the team and work adapt to new normal. It paid off, the jump we made during this phase was least to say 6 folds. The maturity of the team moved up by 3 folds and the collaboration and purpose brought the team together like never. We went BAU (Business As Usual) earlier than most of the team or companies.
Presenting Perplex-city, a bouquet of suspense, crime and horror thrillers woven in one novel.
In the year of a Rat, a night before the lockdown starts, a barkeep finds herself in possession with ICE, ecstasy drugs. With cops of her heels, she finds no place to dispose it. She empties the content in water tank of her society – Jharokha Apartment; just before the cops show up in her place. During the night the water is consumed by the cops who came for the search to the unaware resident. Under the influence of the drugs, ICE, the residents come in face to face with their demons – their anger, the guilt, their lust, their greed, and their love. How many demons would surface and who all would be their casualty.
In the year of a Pig, greed and hatred had divided the country. Blood stained the walls, the roads, and the hearts. The neighbors had become enemies and strangers, friends. Air smelled of burnt houses and decaying corpses. Army was still not fully operational and police watching helplessly from a distance. Whole city was put under a curfew. A girl in her twenties, Libni finds herself stuck alone in this city. Searching for a shelter where she can pass the night, Libni reaches a lone Haveli in outskirts of the city. Little did she know, she was walking right into a sinister plot. Will Libni’s presence deter Onkar’s plan or is Libni a part of a bigger conspiracy?
In the year of a Red Snake. Sepoy mutiny changed the course of history for the subcontinent. India was losing this fight for Independence; the freedom fighters were being rounded off. Imam Akbar Amanat Ali urged his daughter Meher to escape before the East India Company’s army captured them. Meher managed to reach the road leading to Gurgaon. The road was barricaded by the army. Meher had to hide in a small, desolated house in a deserted kasba. In those ruins seeking refuge was another couple, Guneet and Eshana. They were going to meet Eshanan’s brother for the last time before he was executed by the Company. They thought to wait the night out in this dilapidated ruin. They were not alone. Terror ran high as Meher, Guneet and Eshana face the forces unseen and unknown, namely Ajooni who walked in the ruin whole night, night after night, claiming anything in it as hers.
