For many people, working from home means staying close to family while finishing office work from a familiar space. In a post shared on Instagram, Virendra spoke about his experience of living alone and working all day in a single room.
However, one man has shared why working remotely from a flat does not feel like “work from home” to him.
Sharing his routine on social media, he said he wakes up in the same room, opens his laptop to work, and sleeps in that very room once the day ends.
His entire day-from opening the laptop in the morning to shutting it in the evening-is spent in that one room, and the same routine repeats the next day. He noted that spending time in the same room every day like this doesn’t give him the feeling of being at home. He explained that a home is a place where one hears a mother’s voice, a father asks if one has eaten, and there is a sense of belonging after work ends.
Because it is just a flat, virendra mentioned that he cannot call this place home.
He expressed confusion about what “work from home” actually entails. He is essentially working from a flat, according to him. He is doing “work from flat” rather than “work from home,” and the two experiences are not the same, according to him. He emphasised that what he truly desires is to “work from home” while being with his family. Another user noted, “You are absolutely right, home is made up of family.”
