Are you dare enough to do this?

If you ask anyone in Bangalore “What troubles you most here?” The rapid answer will be of the messy traffic. It has become very worst nowadays. I have realized this last time when I went home at midnight from office. It took only less than 15 mins to reach my home. And if I go by the 6:30 or 8:30 pm shuttle, it takes around 1 hour.

Even in the midst of these traffic hitches, some of my friends take advantage of it. If you call an Auto-rickshaw for a minimum fare ride here in B’glore, they will shrug the shoulder only. I have experienced this couple of times. So some people started asking for a long ride and whenever their location or nearer signal comes, they will throw the minimum fare (since it is Rs.10/-, that’s also easy) to driver and they will run out of the AR. Poor AR driver! What he can do in the mid of the traffic?

Next time, if you want to have a ride for the minimum fare, ask for a long ride (which costs Rs. 25/- or more) and follow the same steps specified. But you should be daring enough to throw the money, run out and to vanish swiftly.

(I don’t know when I will start practicing this. But I am daring enough….)
