Meter Down

I hailed a rickshaw,
F.C. Road? I asked.
No, replied the driver,
and wobbled off narrowly missing a large pothole.

I hailed a rickshaw,
Koregaon Park? i asked.
The driver shook his head
and wobbled off escaping
a traffic light by turning left.

I hailed a rickshaw,
Mahatre pul? I asked.
The driver didn't say anything
and wobbled off almost killing
a cyclist while he overtook a car.

I hailed a rickshaw,
Where do u want to go? I asked !
