Chandigarh, February 26

Amid a coronavirus-ridden world, working from home became the most common outcome for offices worldwide. Millions of professionals have been working from the comforts of their home.

Now, with the roll-out of COVID vaccine and a dip in infection rate, a number of officers have reopened—even though many may not be happy about saying goodbyes to the many advantages of working from home.

One such employee recently shared a hilarious video ranting about working from work again, and of course, the clip went viral.

"Meri rooh kaamp rahi hai (I shake at the thought of going back to office)," she said in the clip.

"I want to ask them why they even want to do this [ask employees to work from office]. Everyone is happy, your revenue is increasing, you are saving on transport costs and other facilities," she says in Hindi, with a deadpan face. Sethi then goes on to say that she has learnt to live in pajamas after packing away her jeans and trousers. "Ho na paayega (it won't be possible)," she says, referring to the return to physical workspaces from virtual meeting rooms. 

Wrapping up her video on a hilarious note, the woman dedicated her endnote to her superior and stated that she shared the video purely for entertainment purposes.

The Instagram user Harjas Sethi shared the funny clip last week.

Viewed over 1,50,000, times, the video now has over 5,000 likes, along with Twitterati's approval.

Many users took to the comments to share their own apprehensions over returning to office.

"Seriously. It's like, she is hearing my thoughts like Professor Charles Xavier and then making a video about it," a user wrote.
