Twenty three year-old Mohammad Akram Feroze’s bicycle has been to places even his nimble imagination never scaled all these years.

On good days, Feroze, a resident of Kareemnagar district in Andhra Pradesh, can be seen atop a remote hilltop in Karnataka, teaching theatre to students through hand gestures, because they do not speak the same language. Or at a jatra performance in the Andamans, watching parents in the audience see their children put up a street play meant to convey their disgust at their parents’ alcoholism. On bad days, Feroze walks up to deserted highways and screams till the pent-up frustration and loneliness abates. Then, he logs on to Facebook to cool off or to connect with a friend.
