“After many years I have seen the 315 number bus. It would ply between Bandra and Shivaji Park and used to travel by this bus and would be very excited about reaching Shivaji Park and start my practice. After all the practice I would get tired and hope that my favourite seat, the last seat in the bus by the window, would be empty so that I could sit there and enjoy the ride with the cool breeze from outside.
