Would like to add scarves to my wardrobe, any recommendations for a male 🐟 ?

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer.

Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

I've noticed that my coworkers tend to work more on their own than with others, even when they're all in the office. Is this normal? I feel like it would be helpful for everyone to talk about their projects more often—I mean, what if someone else has solved the same problem you're trying to solve already?

Curious about what kind of hobbies other engineers have, personally I love knitting in my free time
