It is a home of contradictory tales.

Bengaluru-based Guhesh Ramanathan, cofounder of Excubator, terribly missed his daily commute of the pre-Covid world. Starting at 8:30 am, he would carpool for his 75-minute journey between Kengeri on Mysore Road to his office in HSR Layout. “It was great for socialising and helped me ease into office mode,” he recalls. On the way, he would chat with his fellow travellers, brainstorm new ideas and discuss business issues like how to close deals, bag clients, or hire new talent.

With work from home (WFH), all that was over,” he says. There was no break time. “At home, I was just jumping from one call to another.” As soon as the unlock began, he resumed work from office and his daily commute. “I missed it badly,” he says.

His wife, Nalini Guhesh, a data analytics executive, is a picture in contrast. “I am relishing WFH,” she says. Her 90-minute office commute to Old Airport Road had three legs — a car drive to the metro station, a metro ride to MG Road and an auto-rickshaw ride to cover the last mile. “It was very tiring. I don’t miss it at all,” she says. She intends to largely WFH in future.

Between Guhesh and Nalini lies an entire spectrum of the joy and angst of the office commute. The choices people make going forward will have significant implications. As the pandemic holds sway and the fear of infection still has us in its grip, social distancing norms will have an overriding influence on consumers and policymakers globally even as the economy and workplaces inch back to normalcy.

Office-goers’ commute decision will shape the fortunes of many sectors — from metro rail to buses, from cars to bicycles to ride-hailing companies.

“We are not earning a single paisa,” says Mangu Singh, MD, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). This predicament is shared by many public transport operators not just in India but across the world.

About 13 years ago I made a mistake in a column written for this newspaper. In the hierarchy of errors, it wasn’t a major one, but it was embarrassing.

I said daylight saving time had begun when it actually had just ended. And making matters worse, it was in the opening paragraph. A correction had to be written and affixed to the bottom of the article, where it will remain for as long as the article exists. I was deeply annoyed with myself.

I said daylight saving time had begun when it actually had just ended. And making matters worse, it was in the opening paragraph. A correction had to be written and affixed to the bottom of the article, where it will remain for as long as the article exists. I was deeply annoyed with myself.

As I sat there a few days later ruminating about the correction and my self-directed anger, I began to wonder why so many of us hate our mistakes so much. While we may be told early in life that mistakes are OK and we can learn from them, we quickly discover the opposite — that we won’t be lauded for messing up, but admonished.

When and why does this change? Is it universal? And how does the way we think about our mistakes affect our ability to be resilient to the ups and downs of life?

Trekking Nepal: Your Adventure Guide

Most of us will never climb the world’s highest mountains. But if you’re curious as to how you would go about it if you could, consider this show, an audio diary hosted by a married couple as they travel to and through Nepal and the Himalayas. In 16 episodes, Jason Moore and Anne Dorthe bring you along on every step and bump of their adventure, which unfolded in 2014. Join them on their hikes and as they visit Kathmandu and Tibetan Buddhist villages.

Pindrop

If a place on a map could give a TED Talk, what would it sound like? That’s what host Saleem Reshamwala seeks to find out in each episode of TED’s latest podcast, ‘Pindrop’. Join him on his global expedition for surprising, hyperlocal stories. The show is a different kind of travel podcast: It introduces people around the world who are creatively working to make their communities better.

Rough Translation

This podcast promises to “take you places”, and since it debuted in 2017, that is exactly what it delivers. Each episode tells listeners how the same subject can be perceived in different places around the world, like a cultural kaleidoscope of current events.

Ochenta Stories

Ochenta Stories’ is a globally crowdsourced show that cobbles together dispatches from a planet in quarantine. Each episode is a different audio-maker’s answer to this question: “What do you want to hear after this pandemic is over?” And those who enjoy immersion language learning will love how each story is retold in each episode, but in another language. Listeners meet an 11-year-old in Asheville, North Carolina, US, envisioning her first day back to school (told in English and Spanish); a Londoner fantasising about the feeling of getting lost in a crowd again (told in English and French); and a couple in Milan who can’t believe how much quarantine time is spent washing one’s own dishes (Italian and English).

Last week, movie-theatre chains that are planning to reopen their multiplexes in July became the subject of a drama of their own making: “Mask Wars.” It was a battle fought in the press and over social media—and the chains blinked.

Adam Aron, the C.E.O. of AMC, announced, on Thursday, in Variety, that, when most of its theatres reopen their doors (in anticipation of the July 24th release of “Mulan” and the July 31st release of “Tenet”), staff would all be required to wear masks.

For moviegoers, on the other hand, masks would be optional, because, Aron said, “We did not want to be drawn into a political controversy.” His remarks prompted vehement reactions on social media, and, on Friday, Aron changed his mind, issuing a statement announcing that viewers would be required to wear masks after all.

The Regal chain, which plans to reopen on July 10th, had originally punted the requirement for both employees and patrons to local laws, but, following AMC’s shift, also changed its policy to require the wearing of masks by staff and viewers alike.

Cinemark will not be requiring viewers to wear masks. None of the three chains will be taking customers’ temperatures at the door unless local guidelines mandate it.

Ever feel like you’ve got so many things to juggle that your brain is becoming completely overloaded? Do people’s names fly out of your mind in seconds? What you need is some brain training. Try this plan to get your brain in shape in just 10 days.

DAY 1

Put the acronym FASTER into action.
It stands for…

• Forget: The key to learning is to remove the things that are distracting you.
  
• Active: Try to be more active in your learning. Before you start a learning session, take a moment to recap what you learned last time.
  
• State: Your state of being is influenced by your thoughts and your body. So try changing your posture or the depth of your breathing.
  
• Teach: If you want to deepen your learning, approach it with the intention of teaching what you learn to someone else.
  
• Enter: Enter a block of time each day to invest in brain training, even if that’s only 10 minutes.
  
• Review: Get in the habit of doing a quick review at the end of each learning session.

DAY 2

KILL YOUR ANTS

Identify the voices in your head that focus on what you can’t do — those automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) — and start talking back to them.
