Soni Razdan's Farewell Note To "Bombay's Bus Of Yore" Is Beautiful

The Raazi actress remembered “the thrill of clambering up the noisy stairs” of the bus and looking out for the empty seats in the front.

Mumbai's double-decker buses retired after eight decades of service last week. People have been sharing their fond memories of the iconic BEST bus. Veteran actress Soni Razdan has also joined the list. The actress, on a fine Sunday morning, decided to walk down memory lane. She has shared a picture of the red bus along with a long note on Instagram. Soni Razdan revealed that she “grew up with” “Bombay's bus of yore” and used it every day. She said, “And one more icon bids us adieu. Bombay's and Mumbai's double-decker bus of yore, which I grew up with … and which I used every day going to college and to meet friends in Colaba.”

The Raazi actress remembered “the thrill of clambering up the noisy stairs” of the bus and looking out for the empty seats in the front. She claimed that the Mumbai “streets looked fascinating” from the front seats on the upper deck of the double-decker buses. “Still remember the thrill of clambering up the noisy stairs and finding the front seats empty. The streets looked fascinating from there,” Soni Razdan added. 

She continued, “Just one ride gave one so much food for thought. I remember the proximity to some buildings in crowded streets and many a time would get a glimpse into the rooms yonder.”
