Belgachia, Kolkata. Sheher ka sabse purana tram depot, jahan ab sirf teen route bache hain aur woh bhi kagaz par. Depot ki chhat tapakti hai, patriyon par ghaas ugh aayi hai, aur transport department ne faisla kar liya hai — depot band hoga, zameen bikegi. Anirban Dutta wahan electrical fitter hai. Night shift uski hai kyunki din me wo apni maa ko dialysis le jaata hai. Raat me depot me sirf wo hota hai, ek chowkidar, aur athara khadi hui trams jinke pahiye zang me jam chuke hain. Pehli raat usne socha ki neend me dekha hai. Doosri raat usne ghadi dekhi — do baj kar chaar minute. Teesri raat usne mobile me record kar liya. Ek tram depot ke andar ke track par se guzri. Uska number chhatees tha. Uski batti jal rahi thi. Aur us patri par se, jo satais saal pehle kaat kar hata di gayi thi, wo bina awaaz ke nikal gayi. Andar koi baitha nahi tha. Bas ek aadmi khada tha — conductor ki purani khaki vardi me, gale me ticket ka jhola, aur haath me punch. Aur wo Anirban ki taraf dekh raha tha, jaise poochh raha ho ki tum chadhoge ya nahi.
