The Institutional Jail: Days of a Court Stenographer

What 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.

Follow 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.

As 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.

Part visceral memoir, part psychological thriller, and part social critique, this story is a raw look at the human spirit under pressure. It is a story for anyone who has ever felt like a "cat's-paw" in a game played by authorities, and for those who find beauty and defiance in the smallest details—even in the middle of a storm.

Step into the corridor. The trial has begun.
