As a city was brought to its knees in the country's most restrictive lockdown, everyday rituals were turned on their head, barely resembling their former iterations. A jog became the only chance to socialise; clocking on meant logging in; cultural outings became virtual; and eating out came by way of delivery riders or plastic containers. I stumbled upon one such moment, with these two sharing a meal on an outing in the only permissible place possible – the sanctuary of their car. The image captures what would normally be a standard night out, in a strange new reality.
