The lockdown was getting to him stuck indoors for thirty days with six other roommates in a mess room measuring ten by ten. A cook by profession earning a living for his family, left behind in a remote Bihar village. Worried they would die of starvation without money from him sent, ventured out on his bicycle, determined to reach his village, two thousand plus kilometers of travel, through rough terrain unmindful of the heat and pain Puffing and panting, legs sore, cycled seventy five kms, hoping to slip out unnoticed at the State border check post. He didn't... They sent him back, back pedalling seventy five kilometers, feet blistered, spirits deflated, like the tyres of his bicycle. Across the nation there are heart breaking stories of the migrants, struggling to stay sane in this mayhem, never remotely anticipated being caught in a catch 22 situation.
