An Anthology of Experiences from the Global Pandemic of 2020-21

The year 2020 was not easy for anyone across the world. ‘Locked In But Not Down’ captures real-life experiences of how people tried to tide over a worldwide crisis that came in the form of COVID-19. The realisation that life is so precious and to value emotions, to control emotions, to wade through emotional turmoil, much more than the material gain, is a sustainable lesson learned by the generation of the 21st century.
