REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationIt takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. Are you in an industry that would allow you to work from home? What are some obstacles you might find yourself facing while working from home?
Aravind Kamath 10/23/2018 1:13 AMIf you are a individual contributor or a senior person in the team - I dont really see many obstacles. very few times - we will have a need for using whiteboard to explain something to my co-workers, such kind of activities may take longer time - while working from home -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Aravind Kamath 10/23/2018 1:08 AMI would use the food thats getting wasted in the "public fridge" kind of concepts thats coming up in Bengaluru. I felt - the best thing that we all can do is - share the food with the people , who do not have anything to consume or fast due to the poverty
