It is not wanderlust that drives people to places, these days it is replaced by hunger, a force that cannot be staved off. Some time back, the number of migratory labour, retrenched, pushed out, had shocked us with their growing number as thousands of men and women, children and the old, had walked through the long, bumpy stretches to arrive at, oh no, not at the green pastures of their dreams, but somewhere with bread. The spectre of hunger still haunts, taking its toll. Jobs are getting fewer every day. Openings are limited, choices scant, and never according to one’s skills. One could have done business management and apply for a gardener’s job or if one has done a doctorate, one can be a peon in a school. System refuses to open up for those skilled for their expertise, it prefers to let them waste.
