With the pandemic, all life activities have been confined to our homes. While many used it to make up for the time when they fell short of spending it with their families, for some it seemed almost as a requirement to use it to bond. Amidst all of this, the idea of privacy, somehow got overlooked. With the space of time, the chaos of overlooked privacy arose, more than before. Although we had personal space physically, idea of having one mentally is missed out on.

abstract
We at SEA believe that the pandemic has a granularity of meta, non-linear narratives that become useful in making sense of the relational complexities of the pandemic and society. Thus, we set out to collect stories of fears, joys, agilities, fragilities, friendships, networks, collectives, home, work, infrastructures, entrepreneurship, privileges, marginalizations, migrations, desperation, gender, equity, etc. The glossary as a method became useful to reflect on this granularity of experiences and account for slippages during these times. These spatio-temporal stories, when read together or as individual instances produce a new sense of the emergent contemporary. This framework also allows us to speculate on the kind of world we will inhabit once the storm has passed. We draw on multiple readings to bring out the nuances and patterns of social life produced in a pandemic. This we hope would allow us to collectively reflect on the restructured ideas of the self, the collective, society, space, and time. The blurred idea of privacy, the idea of privacy, somehow got overlooked. With the space of time, the chaos of overlooked privacy arose, more than before.
