Introduction
In between certain acquaintances turning into friends and a few friends turning into passing strangers, we found ourselves coworkers worth a lifetime. If “Zindagi ke saath bhi, zindagi ke baad bhi” had a face, these pretty people would be it.
That’s the undeniable beauty of coworking spaces like OurDesk in Khar, Mumbai. The kind of beauty that unites all coworkers regardless of their divided walks of life. Coworking Spaces organising and hosting events as an ice-breaker amongst their members is a playful way of getting to know others on a superficial basis.
But it’s small acts of kindness that lures us towards people. It can be anything, receiving a reassuring smile on a bad day, saving some of your favourite food in their dabba, leaving a quick “It’ll be alright" text in your inbox or sending you a funny meme.
Blooming of Bonds
However, this level of comfort between coworkers is established over a period of time, it would be comparatively weird if a coworker whom you just smiled at suddenly saves food for you. This is because you know each other only on a surface level.
Coworking and Community Engagement: Beyond the Workspace. While some coworkers form bonds out of genuineness, some part of networking always has an underlying motive, say for example trying to mix in the crowd to get more clients or get some work done subtly with undetectable slyness.
As and when days pass, you’ll see these coworkers opening up to each other. Some of them may wait for each other to have lunch together, leave for home together and even go enjoy after-hours together. That’s where these beyond-coworking connections are built.
Conclusion
It makes things a lot more similar since they share the same space at work but the work uniquely is what sets them apart, this states that their fields of work are different but the space shared is one.
OurDesk and its members are a visual representation of all the points mentioned above. There's a thin air of silence initially but once they gel-up it’s as if they’ve known each other for quite some time now. Believe us, this is a beautiful transition to witness and be a part of.
