Growing up in Kolkata, trams have always been more than just a mode of transport for me; it’s been a source of respite from the chaos all around. The familiar sound of the tram’s bell which could be heard in every nook and corner and the gentle sway of the carriage through the bustling streets, trams became synonymous with my life in the city of joy. The perpetual news to cease the tram services feels like a piece of my childhood slipping away.
