The Institutional Jail: Days of a Court StenographerWhat happens when the man who records the law becomes a prisoner of its chaos?
In the heat of the global pandemic, Bikram Barman-a meticulous court stenographer used to documenting the cold facts of justice-finds himself "sentenced" without a trial. Forced into a dilapidated institutional quarantine center at Bongaigaon College, he is stripped of his dignity and treated more like a fugitive than a citizen.
Inside the Walls of Institutional PurgatoryFollow Bikram through three grueling days of confinement where the lines between safety and punishment blur. From the "C'Tigers"-ferocious guard dogs roaming the campus-to the "Encroacher," a defiant spider that mirrors his own struggle for space, Bikram documents a world where social distancing is a myth and bureaucratic indifference is the only constant.
A Psychological Journey Through Memory and FearAs the walls close in, Bikram's mind begins to unspool. Why does his "disputed" mobile phone suddenly search for the term "Black Vomiting"? Is it a glitch, or is the device reading his deepest, most hidden anxieties?
Wrestling with a shattered phone, meager rations, and the haunting memories of a treacherous journey through the rugged terrain of Arunachal Pradesh, Bikram must navigate:

• The Irony of Law: A professional observer forced to witness the inhumane breakdown of the system he serves.
  
• The Mystery of the Hidden: Strange occurrences-like a disappearing and reappearing glove-that suggest he is being watched by something more than just the guards.
  
• The Weight of the Past: Flashbacks to a rebellious youth and a hidden secret at the base of a sacred statue.
