Earlier this month, when Lokhandwala resident Sakshi Jain Ajmera brought home her wedding trousseau, she isolated the outfit for three days. Her big day was a week away and she wasn't going to take any chances. Enough had gone wrong already. The cocktail party she had planned for in November was cancelled five days before the function, necessitated by a spike in the Coronavirus cases in the country. "Numbers were rising in Surat and Jaipur, and many guests started to chicken out, which was only natural. On my part, to be doubly careful, I requested my designer to allow the karigar, who was creating the lehenga, to live in an alternate accommodation. I didn't want him travelling home and back.

She was kind enough to allow him to stay at the workshop itself." The couple created a bio-bubble and ensured they did not meet any new people or those outside their inner circle.
