Writer- Tikeshwar Sinha 'Gabdiwala'

'Who is there...Ok...I am just coming…..'Jyoti heard that someone was knocking at the door. She came out and saw a couple with a baby. She said -'Yes..... What's the matter? Who are you all...? 'She continued.

'We are coming from Hydrabad. I was living there with my family as a worker in the paper factory. During the lockdown, the factory was locked. Now,I had the living problem. So, we are returning to our native place Pacheda. It's 52 kms away from here. 'Oh ! You all are coming from there on foot and will go to your village so on.'Jyoti was surprised.

'Yeah...'the man nodded his head -'We have to go on foot there. we are very thirsty and hungry. Please, give us some water and food. They sat there at the door.

Jyoti became very sad. She took them inside. Then Bhooshan, husband of Jyoti came at that time. Jyoti and Bhooshan not only provided some thing for eating; but kept them for some days at their home. They did the familiar behaviour with the labour and his family.

'At that time the labour with his family was feeling the affinity in his Chhattisgarh. He was proud of Chhattisgarh and to be a Chhattisgarhiya.
