Stranded during a Calamity

A daily wage labourer's letter to his wife which unveils the horrors of getting stranded in a city when the nation announces a formal lockdown against the backdrop of a pandemic. The story captures the details of suffering and desolation in a time when the economy comes to an abrupt halt and humble human lives become insignificant. The real sufferers are those who have limited means to survive and lose their paths and minds in a crowd that suffocates their sensibilities. The reality of pains can be understood only by those who dare to face it, live by it and overcome it with emotional strength. Bachchu experiences things that were inconceivable for him even in his wildest dreams.
