These Auto Walas

Since it rained in Chennai, the auto drivers are having a ball. They have been doubling up their prices and actually take it as an insult if you quote the right price. If you haggle with them rest assured they would complain through out the journey or drop you before your stop. It’s maddening!

Some of them try to have a P.C with you and no matter what (glares, stone faced, look like the lorry ran over you) they still keep looking at you through their rear view mirror. It gets really scary when they take you through lanes saying it’s a short cut but it ends up being longer. When things like this happen I make sure I call up some one who can reach me at any given time tell them where I am, by reading the address on the shop boards. I have learnt not to show that I don’t know the area that he is taking me into, or that I am getting scared when they are rash driving.
Traveling in an auto in Chennai is not that easy, especially late evening.
