Jail Diary - III
22.5.2013, Mumbai
May 17: Barrack
number 12 at Arthur Road Central Jail is where Ajmal Kasab was put up a few
months ago. Kasab was on the first floor while Sanjay and Yusuf Nalwala are on
the first floor. The cell referred as Aanda
is dark and suffocating so Sanjay spends the night chatting with Nulwala. At dawn he distracts himself reading
religious books he has carried from home and at 5a.m Sanjay rises to do his
regular workout followed by snacks served in the prison. Time moves slow inside
prison. At shootings, Sanjay never remembered lunch break but inside the cell
-lunch, tea break and dinner are indicators of movement of time, of day
embracing night followed by another day and night...
