Despite the new medium of ‘virtual connect’, it was a great opportunity to learn better assertiveness in communication, accountability towards my project’s direction, and getting a wider point of view on the final deliverables. My day began with planning my schedule and adhering to it, apart from having meaningful banter with my fellow Zensar interns with similar live projects. Additionally, it helped in self-reflection and understanding the style of work of people I interacted with, apart from establishing a much-needed routine to persevere and proceed.
The constant feeling of being part of a big family enshrined in RPG’s ‘Hello Happiness’ resonated with the regular weekend virtual catch-ups ensuring lively discussions and collaboration. The goodies that were so thoughtfully personalized and mailed to each of us RPGian interns helped up the quotient of belongingness.

The always optimistic outlook of every RPGian I have encountered so far has helped renew my hopes for the times ahead. The courage to work and innovate, in a new WFH environment, has helped me grow as a person - to adapt and accommodate while exhibiting grace under pressure.
