Sree Vijaykumar		 From the Editor's Desk
I spent 2.5 hours in traffic yesterday, trying to get back home from a meeting. And I am one of the lucky ones, as my office is only half an hour from my home and I usually set up my meetings in the middle of the day, so spending time is traffic is not a big problem. In the Uber, I tried to keep myself busy, reading emails, catching a nap, thinking about this editorial. And I glanced around at those driving around me, stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, just trying to get back home. And then there are those who work from home (May their tribe increase!). What is it really like to work from home? Yes, it's a real thing. Here are 6 uncommon lessons from a year of working from home.
