Meter pe pandrah rupaya ...
If you live in Bangalore for a few days you would know what I am referring to. I am not sure if this is the case with other cities too in India. I have not lived in other cities for too many days.
When I had been to India last time, I had to take an auto from Jayanagar to Rajarajeshwari Nagar. After I reached home, I paid the auto driver .... I paid exactly the amount the meter was reading. He grabbed the money from me and said .... Pandrah rapaya aur do. Rudely..... Curtly .... As if it was his birth right. I was so astonished at his behavior and demand. I asked him why I had to pay extra. He had no reason for it. He justs wants Rs. 15 more. Thats it. I don't know what was that confidence in him that made him to just demand. Does he think he is the lord?
I was boiling with anger. But as usual no words to speak. I just told him that I wont pay anything extra and walked away. He kept shouting "hello madam .... hello madam ..... "
How I wish I had the courage to say just get lost ... go to hell!!!
Most of these autos don't have the digital meter readers though the law was imposed. All the non-digital meters are biased. They just jump so fast.
I used to travel to my company pretty often by auto. It usually costs around Rs.45. But some times .... the auto meter used to read Rs. 60 or so. After I reach my office I paid the guy only 45!!!
As expected the guy would shout at him. I used tell them ... I travel everyday and it costs just 45 ... and his meter is faulty. I would tell them lets walk to the police .... the next sentence they would utter is "pay how much ever you want madam" .... Which means they know their meter is faulty.
I know they are not from well to do family ..... they need money .... and people who have money should be generous. I agree with this. But when I give money by myself it is a different scene, if they demand so rudely nobody would like to donate money. Rs. 15 looks like Rs. 150.
I don't understand where these auto drivers started learning to behave so curtly and rudely.
Is this fair to try to loot money from public like this?
These days they have started another saga. They will be ready hire only if you ask them to some area they like. They like .... I mean to say if it is around evening they will look only for those people who ask for hire close to their house. If your area does not match with the auto driver he wouldn't even respond to you telling that he is not ready to drive for you. He will just drive away from you very fast without talking a word as if he never heard to you. If you are new to Bangalore it would take you few seconds or mins to understand the auto driver rejected your admission into the auto :P
Ridiculous!!

Dearest one ...
The dearessst ones in your life .... have you ever thought how you treat them when you are in a atrocious mood? Most of us are so rude to the most dearest relationships in our lives at such times. I don't know what we get by venting out all our frustration or irritating feelings on them.
They take all of it calmly without a question. Without a mumble. After a while you realize the truth.
Is this because we have the right to behave that way with them or is it because we have taken them for granted? If these are not the reasons, is it because of ego? Have you ever thought about it?
