This 15 DAY old bundle of joy and her mother Rani had the run of their lives to catch the Shramik express to Varanasi just in the nick of time yesterday. Aashutosh Gokhale, food ninja from Khaanachahiye and volunteers from Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care spotted Rani outside Lokmanya Tilak Terminus. She wasn't able to get into the station because of the crowd.
After getting permission from the Mumbai & Railway police, we got Rani and her baby along with other family members inside the train. The train left seconds after they boarded. A happy ending for all. Big thanks to the police and railway officials.
The collective joy in moments like these inspires us to step out every day.
Hi, welcome to "Locked down," the page that brings you the unsaid stories of invisible people. People who have been affected adversely by the current nationwide lockdown in India.
This page's objective is to shed light on the lives of those who have been forgotten by society. Those who have fallen through the cracks in the system that has never been just to them in the first place.
The biggest testimonial to their invisibility is that the experience of their lockdown is dramatically opposite to ours. Both us and they have the same restrictions. But we get to spend time with our loved ones in the comfort of our homes, while they are forced to go penniless, starve without food and other essentials and flee cities on foot.
All our stories would be real and factual. They would be captured by us during the lockdown or taken from reliable sources.
If you like any of our stories, please share it with your friends and family. More than liking, more than commenting, it is by sharing that we can bring these forgotten humans out of their invisibility. And please invite your friends to visit our page too.
PS: If there are any aspects that you want us to cover in our stories, please let us know by commenting on this post or by messaging us. We will try our best to bring you those aspects.
PPS: We believe in keeping the focus on the people worst affected by lockdown and also on those who are helping them in whatever way they can. Hence, we would like to keep all discussions apolitical and objective. We would humbly request you to do the same.
- Team, Locked down.
The departure of every Shramik express is a rare, happy & satisfying moment in the day for everyone involved in relief operations. But that happiness is short-lived for invariably we find families that are left behind for some reason or the other.
Most often young kids of these families shed tears not because they understand what is happening, but because their little hearts can't bear the sound of their parent's wails.
