Yellow Taxi

First Trams and then Taxis now?
Kolkata kept disappointing me, since I left.

Farewell to those yellow cabs running through the city of joy.
Farewell to the hope of hailing a cab with one-hundred percent chance of refusal.
Farewell to the cozy seats, even if they were non-AC.
Farewell to those poets who romanticised yellow taxis for us.

Farewell to Hindustan Motors once again.
Even when your workshops closed, these cabs reminded me of your legacy!

I know my dad would be sadder than I am.
We would just remember the fact —
Our Yellow Taxis once won the TopGear race and was named the best Taxi in the World!
