Jamlo walks. She looks straight at the road ahead. It is long.
The world has stood still. The streets lie empty and schools are closed.
All work has dried up and people keep whispering the word 'corona' all
the time. Jamlo walks down a long and hot road, alongside hundreds of
other men and women and children whom Tara sees on TV. Jamlo walks as
Rahul watches the streets turn quiet.
Jamlo walks and walks in a world that needs to be kind and just and
equal. A world where all lives are seen as important.
