Tarun Tahiliani, who is currently working and staying at his Delhi home since the lockdown spoke about how he felt lucky that he hadn’t ever faced something like coronavirus as a young boy, he said, “I have never seen anything like this. I was telling my children that we had such a lucky run because we were born in the sixties, I mean there was a shog war and the emergency, but we were too young to understand. And India has progressed a great deal, and we’ve lived through exciting times. Almost nobody will have their lives all smooth, right now we are all in this together. And this is nobody’s making, it is something tragic that has unfolded elsewhere. And one has to take many lessons from this. It grows across boundaries, nationalities and it grows across all sorts of economic barriers. It reinforces that we are one. And we are so fussed about making so many differences whether its colours, caste, religion, boundary, financials.... I mean it’s crazy how much time we spend on it. In a way its great that a little virus that nobody can see with the naked eye is the leveller.”
