Re-writing Relationships
COVID-19 has redefined and reshaped our relationships with our partners in unprecedented ways. The lockdown not only tested the strength of our bonds but also ruthlessly exposed the weaknesses of our connections. Some couples have come closer and many have struggled through this time, but no one has been left untouched. One thing is for sure, the pandemic has given us an opportunity to critically re-evaluate our relationships.
Book 3 in the Life during COVID-19 Anthology series, co-compiled with Mahima Poddar (Founder, The Kindness Foundation) is in the works! This book will shed light on the pandemic’s impact on couples and their relationships. We truly believe that every tale will bring hope, courage and strength as we connect with each other’s stories and come closer in our shared vulnerability…and humanity.
