Ashutosh peered out of the Sabarmati Express as houses, streams, and telegraph poles whizzed past him. Closing his eyes, he listened to the dynamic throb of the wheels chugging on the iron tracks. The fast clicking of the wheels sent a rush of euphoria down his spine. His ride would soon end, and he would have to walk the long distance home. Sabarmati Express, seat no. 20 became Ashutosh’s lifeline. It connected him to the outside world. Ashutosh worked nights at a steel plant in the Mumbai business district.
