My Yellow WagonR

 

By- Rishika Ghai

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.
