If job change to your city of interest isn't feasible due to any reason consider having a firm relocation plan in place.

1) Google map your office address , observe surrounding residential localities.

2) Check online for houses on rent in those localities to get an idea about rents and spaces available.

3) Figure out apps that help in renting furniture and electronics like fridge.

4) If you have household goods that need to be transported , find packers and movers and get estimates. If possible sell off old stuff and reduce your goods transportation charges. Buy or rent afresh in new location.

5) The most COVID safe way to travel would be by road in a cab with your parents with pre planned stops at airy guest houses instead of hotels. Yes it's 24 hrs however people do it everyday nowadays.

It is a cat and mouse with travel restrictions coming and going. Use your thoughts to develop a plan on above lines , check finances & feasibility etc.

I'm sure it will reduce your anxiety. Move from the fear of "What if offices open ?" to " How swiftly and safely can I relocate and at what cost?"

Pre planning can certainly get you a house in Chennai when you land up there on day one itself , unless you said 2-3 months for other reasons.

Think about it. Hope you felt the suggestions were valid for your situation. 🙂
