Silver Linings: A Yearbook
2021 New Year special: It’s here, the end of the year that seemed endless. As a virus locked us down and, in some cases, threw the keys away. There couldn’t be a more fitting way to bid goodbye to it than listening to voices telling us that 2021 will be a new year. From the Wuhan student who returned home to the vaccine volunteers. From shelter homes now shut, with migrants back at work, to a Covid-positive mother with a healthy newborn — The Indian Express marks 2021 with 21 postcards of hope from across the nation.
