Including Tweak, who turns all of one this month. When the pandemic delivered its sucker punch, Tweak surprised us with its resilience and its loyal readers as we went from strength to strength. It has been a year with a steep learning curve, but we survived it all and that's worth celebrating as much as Tweak's first anniversary," said Twinkle Khanna, Founder.
