Tired, irritated and actually angry. This is the state of mind I have almost every morning. Most probably not only me but also some more people who travel by auto rickshaw in Delhi have the same state of mind every day.
Yes I am talking of auto ( read Autowallas) in Delhi. Its easy to find anything else but an auto in time. They have some strange excuses if you ask them to drop you at a certain place. Most of the time they completely ignore your request, you keep begging at the mid of the road under the scorching heat or at cold night. Situation gets absolutely crazy if it rains in Delhi. Then forget to reach home or office or any damn place if you are depending on auto.
If you want to travel within 4/5 kms then the autowallas wont go because its so near!!! If you want to travel far then also they wont go because that's so so so far!!If you want to go to some market then they don't go because the area is crowded and if you want to go to some residential area they wont go because they might not get any passenger. Even places like CP,Okhla,Lajpat Nagar,Green Park and so many other places where they get plenty of passengers within a while, they refuse to go. Reason??? Plenty of they have. " Madam, raasta kharap hai / traffic bahot hai / yamuna par ki gaddi hai / gas nahi hai /" and sometime they just ignore your existence.
There is a part in the front side of the vehicle called Meter Box!!! dare you ask them to go by meter!!! That's just for show - you have to be lucky enough to see it working.
The Delhi Autowallas are the God - we are the mighty beggars begging to give us a ride and take double the money. We do it happily as we are left with no other option!!!
What about saving some money and all of us buying auto??Not a bad idea...
