auto...

This trip I found the auto drivers a little mellowed down and it didn't take much time to realise the reason for this attitude of theirs..
All along I had always been exposed to that rogue like attitude of the auto drivers,everyone of whom seemed to have lost their cool early in the morning and were on the verge of hunting till the last rupee from their innocent passengers.
"Meter ku mela potu kudunga saaar" was a cliched phrase which has been already made fun off by Vivek and all other comedians.
But this trip,there was not many such requests.The bargains that were made- some of them cruel as in 50rs instead of the demanded 100rs,were taken with the right spirit and were sometimes even accepted by the auto drivers.The reason being the calltaxis.They have brought such a shock in the lives of the auto drivers that it wouldn't be long when these guys might become super-well-behaved beings.
Rajnikanth's 'Autokaaran' song from Baasha had so many honey-coated words describing these individuals,some of which are currently bearing truth.
Wiating for the day when I get out of Central Station and an autodriver,well shaven and adorning a uniform comes forward and utters a greeting - "Hello Sir - How are you?Enga poganum?This is the rate chart for different locations.Please let me know wherever you want to go"
A far-fetched dream!But you never know.It could come true,thanks to the call taxis :)
