Dhevarajan Devadas' tweet reminded us of what an year it had been!
It was on January 23, 2020 that the first case of Covid 19 virus was reported in Singapore. And since then, life turned out to be surreal in every which way.
The disruption caused to the life and work is unprecedented and it had dealt a blow to us, all, together, and almost around the same time.
It has also meant that there were ever greater number of those suffering around the world and so many tried to help each other out and spread the camaraderie with their positivity and helpfulness.
And when we saw numerous such touching and well meant conversations, it got us thinking. We felt that we do our bit in supporting this spirit of empathy. Here we are presenting to you some of the interesting thoughts that we hope are informative and value-adding.

It is a good idea, always & especially now, to be grateful for what we have... there are so many of them who have lost a great deal personally or/and professionally. As we forge ahead, let us recognize and acknowledge those who were instrumental for our success.
Comment and let us know such positively influencing exchanges you may have come across.
