Escaping from prison in Bombay from "summary" of Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
As I stood within the confines of my cell in Arthur Road Jail, I knew that my only chance for freedom lay in devising a plan to escape. The walls seemed to close in on me, the bars mocking me with their unyielding strength. But I refused to be caged like an animal, resigned to my fate. The desire for liberty burned within me like a fierce flame, driving me to plot my daring escape. I spent countless hours studying the layout of the prison, memorizing every detail, every nook and cranny that could potentially be exploited. I observed the routines of the guards, noting their patterns and vulnerabilities. I knew that my escape would require meticulous planning and flawless execution. Finally, the day of reckoning arrived. With a heart pounding in my chest, I set my plan into motion. I moved with stealth and precision, evading the watchful eyes of the guards as I made my way towards freedom. Every step was a gamble, every breath a risk. But I was determined to succeed, to defy the odds and emerge victorious. As I stood on the precipice of freedom, the world outside beckoning me with its siren call, I felt a surge of adrenaline unlike anything I had ever experienced. The taste of liberty was sweet on my tongue, a bittersweet reminder of the price I had paid for my freedom. But in that moment, as I stood on the threshold of a new beginning, I knew that the struggle had been worth it. Escaping from prison in Bombay was not just an act of defiance, but a testament to the strength of the human spirit. It was a reminder that no walls, no bars, no chains could ever truly confine the indomitable will of a determined soul. And as I walked away from that prison, a free man once more, I vowed to never forget the price of my freedom, to never take it for granted. For in the crucible of adversity, I had discovered the true meaning of liberation.
