Photos | Through the looking glass: Life in lockdown

OVER VIEW: “This was taken during the first wave. I had started going out on hikes with a small group of friends. It was nice to escape, get out of the city, get some fresh air, soak up all the nature,” says Samyukta Lakshmi (@samlaks), 42, from Bengaluru. “Earlier going out with friends meant meeting at restaurants, movie theatres, each other’s homes. In the pandemic I found a new way of meeting friends and a new way of seeing the city. In fact, I think I am re-seeing everything — the way light falls at different spots in my house at different times, different new things about my neighbourhood.”(Samyukta Lakshmi)
