The taxi drivers of Mumbai have always intrigued me. Not the Ola or Uber cabbies, but those uniformed black and yellow taxi drivers... I always thought they carry a lot of Mumbai in them.
My first interaction was the cabbie Maqbool who took me from Mumbai CSTM (VT) to a hotel near Sion.
I had an interview with the ICICI Bank at BKC.
I still don't forget when he said, "Bangali Babu, late ho gaya to Kya hua? hum aapko sahi salamat pahucha denge.. apne Khana khaya?"
I had to tell him that I am starving and Geetanjali was late that night.
He took to me to Kalanagar signal and ensured I had egg bhurji- pav. And I persuaded him to have the same with me... he was pleasantly surprised.
Initially denied, but later on has cutting chai and bhurji- pav with me... maybe because I sang, "Yeh Hain Bambai Meri jaan" for him.
I make was such friends rather easily. Music attracts.
Since then, I fantasised being a taxi driver in Mumbai.
Travelling across the length and breadth of Mumbai and beyond the check nakas.. rainy days, sunny days.. sultry days.
I always managed to spot a lonely taxi driver, singing "Janeman Janeman" on his way back home after perhaps the last trip.
Perhaps he would be greeted by an empty room in a row house somewhere in Parel.
Somewhat like me, during my initial days in Mumbai and my days in Singapore.
