rickshaw and me

Hi All,


You must be thinking " Blog, again !!!,..Prathima is bilkol Free!!!,.....Ya sort of,...waiting for some call with my clients,.... :) "


Any way the topic is auto rickshaw driver of banglore,..I think you people have got a mail about how inspiring an auto driver of mumbai is,...who had kept TV, newspaper, fan in his auto for his fellow people who come to take a ride on it........


Ha Bravo!!!!....Well Done,..But i hope that all the auto rickshaw guys would be so,...at least a bit kind,..........huh : ( ...i never thought going in an auto would be so miserable ,...all realization comes by experience!!,..ya correct ,...For me that is after coming to banglore..........


First incident i encountered this was the day when my bus came late from manglore. I was like usually travelling in rajyahamsa from manglore to banglore and that day it reached late!!............at around 10 in the morning,...and i had to go to office so,..no other choice i thought and took an auto,...




He said he would be charging me by meter + half ( that's one and half they say ) ( i knew i am caught, but any ways lets c what happens was my thought ) ,....from majestic to kundhanhalli Gate( where my PG is situated ),....It was around 300 or so because of one and half ( i was robbed :( .....) .I took a 500 Rs note,...and then suddenly when i was about to give the money,,..my mom called,..( ahaha!! my mom calls at wrong time,.....But what to do she is my mom :) ... ) so i gave it to him and simultaneously received the call,....But i dropped the call in a minute saying i have reached and will call you soon,...and turned to that auto driver,...He stated saying " yenamma, tamasheya, 50 Rs kodthidiralla " and showed me a 50 RS note ( What madam, Is it a Joke,...Why are you giving 50 RS )... I was startled , said " yenu sulluheltidira, nanu 500 RS note kotadu "..............( i gave 500 rs note !!!)




Ah!!..........Then there was huge argument,...i was actually caught but did not give up,..fought,...i searched his whole auto but could not find any 500 Rs note !! puzzled.......i was so frustrated ,...But the point is that driver was gigantic and well build and i was looking like a mere rat in front of him,...He started demanding me to give the money,....I did not know what to do,..And my PG watchmen,...he was even more scared then me,..he did not even turn up,...then what i did was some thing stupid, i gave him 200 Rs more, might be thinking that i had actually given him 50 RS ( Stupidity !!!,..) .


But even then i did not give up ,....I know god would not have forgiven me,..But i did not have any go,...... i started scolding in the local kachada language in kanada :) . " Aiappa yolledagalla neenge noddu, neena amma , tangige ketadagathe,... neenge accident agli....and something all ...:) ",........ ( something bad about him and his family .....sorry god ...........


After all this finally he bend and said "see the note 500Rs.....fell down i think...u r simply scolding me,"....and he gave me back the 200 rs note ( you would say thrown )and left,......................i was dumb stuck,....all this happen in a split of a second,.....




All the huss puss had made all my PG girls and cook to come out of their rooms,.....then my cook said "nenu nee Rs 500 okatane kalu daggara padi unnedi chusanu,.....nenu atantane adi tiskovadam chusanu "(hey Your Money Rs 500 was at his slipper ....I saw him picking from it, ... :( ....) ......................................huh :(.,............




Second incident was when i was going to my aunts place,...It was friday night and i had reached aunts place late at around 8 + it was very windy and was about to rain ( i was so in a mess ).....


This happened in a place called utharhalli, banglore again There is a sub area called Purna Prajna Layout where my aunt stays....Many bus doesn't go directly near this layout...Its just 1 stop and not even 1 km,...so i usually get down the main bust stop of Utharhalli and walk.........The road is a bit curvy and isolated,...But people walk and i was also walking,...


When i was walking through those curve, suddenly street light went ,....and suddenly i felt like earth shook and i just fell down,...and before falling down i heard a huge sound,....


:(....i was at the ground,...i just lifted my head and saw in front of me,....huh an auto,...idiotic!!,...




I was hit by an auto,.......I don't know how, but i was able to get up,....some sort of body pain was there but i think i was really saved by my big bag pack,...at my back,....But the whole point is inspite of hitting me he did not have a concern to look at me,...he just saw me getting up and ran away,...huh :(....




All i want to say finally that " DON'T TRUST BANGLORE'S AUTO RICKSHAW PEOPLE"...... :),...then its up to you to decide ;-)


Safe journey,...:)
