It was a year of the big speedbreaker – stopping us short to rev up the ride!
It was a year that shook us all – jolting us into the untried!

Hats off to our wonderful operations team who swung into action as lockdown lifted! On the job, every day, prepping and packing, sorting hitches and glitches, as orders poured in through the months. (We were thrilled that books were decreed ‘essential’!) For the rest of Team Tulika it was WFH, networked 24/7, or so it seemed! |
