Best, Ranjana Working Pattern in Lockdown: From 5th January 2021, I will be working in a shift-pattern to balance my full-time workload with homeschooling and childcare, under the conditions of Lockdown. This means I will be unable to respond to emails or take on any meetings in the AM, there may be some delays in responses, and you may receive emails from me outside of standard hours. Thank you for your understanding, which I will entirely reciprocate, at a complex and difficult time.
