When I was in class one
We bought a new car
A yellow WagonR
Its been 13 years now
And we still have this car
So many memories attached to it
It gets me all nostalgic.
***
I remember the days that
How we use to travel
From Alwar to Delhi.
And moved our dogs
From one posting to another.
Its traveled a lot
In these past 13 years.
***
From to Alwar to Jammu,
To Nasirabad and Hyderabad,
And Assam and then Allahabad
Now back to Alwar it shall go
The place where we bought it long time ago.
***
Learning driving at the age of 18
It’s me and my WagonR
Driving down to the driving school
And then returning back
There’s not a moment now
That I don’t miss my friend, my WagonR.
***
Now my dogs are old
And need more space to stretch
And we move yet again
On our posting next.
A new car; an SUV my parents bought
And pushed my WagonR out in the cold.
***
Now my darling stands in open
Covered; gone is the comfort of the garage.
But to its last breath
I shall use; As none can replace
The attachment that I have
With my old, yellow WagonR.
