It was March 22, 2020. The Janata curfew had just ended at 7 p.m. I was pursuing social sciences at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Hyderabad. I began my journey back home to Mumbai by car. The roads were empty in the country of billion-plus people; I suspected something unusual and terrifying. One could easily count the number of people on the road. Empty roads were chilling on the highway.
