Work from Home is not a bad idea

I once saw a book “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Married Life! Written by three authors Amy Newmark , Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield. First I thought it was a recipe book with different chicken and chicken soup recipes good for keeping your partners happy. Incidentally I was a great chicken dishes lover especially Tandoori Chicken and Butter chicken at the time of reading that book (all Punjabis are).

I read that book out of curiosity as I borrowed it from my senior manager when I saw it lying on his car’s dashboard during my posting in Delhi office. Incidentally he had offered to drop me at my apartment on his way to his home. I was living alone then and cooking at times in my one room apartment so I thought I will give few of the recipes a try.

But after I read a few pages of that book my eyes opened wide for two reasons. The first, that book had nothing about chicken or soups but all about work from home. Second, the time I read that book work from home was not even heard in our country but work from home was only referred people doing small jobs from home in their spare time but it was not considered a full time job anyways.

Now we all know that developed countries like America, Britain, Australia, Germany France etc. offer this option for years to their employees and workers in certain fields take full advantage of ‘work from home’ facility. If I have my figures right in America only more than 15 million people work from home.

However, I would like to add here that work from home is good in certain sectors like IT, agency jobs, tour & traveling, writing and e-commerce. In our country also the concept of work from home is gaining popularity especially among the married female employees.
