Monsoon Night

Who doesn’t have a monsoon memory etched into their bones if they’ve grown up in Kolkata?

This piece is a visual diary entry - a moment frozen in time. It captures a rainy night in Kolkata, as seen through the lens of an old Bengali household. The glowing yellow taxi, an Ambassador, of course rolls slowly through puddled streets, reflecting city lights that shimmer like childhood dreams. From a misty window, someone watches - maybe you, maybe a memory.

If you’ve ever watched the rain fall from your grandparents’ window, waited for a taxi in the middle of College Street, or quietly sipped cha during an evening storm, this illustration is for you.

It’s not just a taxi. It’s your 8:45 p.m. nostalgia on a rainy weekday.
