You are on the road .Perfect harmony between you and your vehicle, Ah waht a pleasure driving is.I wish I drive till I die.Driving is heaven .And as you are bout to enter this heaven you see a black monster with a yellow bow-tie blowing his trumpet .He comes from nowhere, but you find him rite in front of your nose scaring you to hell .This is the irritating pest of the roads.You find it everywhere.Its no big in size but has the potential to spoil your whole day
OK I know you are not getting a thing
Am talking about the AUTO-RICKSHAW
I dont know wether any of you will agree but to me these rickshas are a real nuisance.If you live in any suburbs and you drive you would certainly notice there presence, there number.
I find ther driving really rash and wavy.
You can never be confident of cruising if you are in a vicinity of a rickshaw.It just needs to move and ther you will find him from nowher to everywher in front of you.You can never be sure of where its goin to go.Whether its goin to turnor just goin to have straightline drag>you may be lucky if you see something flashing, I mean the indicator.Occasionally the hand.But thats as far as it goes.Please dont try to overtake it, it may come right at you.
Actually they rule the road.Thats how they drive .They have to be the one who will always take the battle at the corner, taking the inside line or outside defying all the conventions of racing, you will always find them in front of you.
Ever tried to mess with them .Thats a strict no no.Unless you have some strong backing up I will not advice you to do this.These people have their union, and omnipresent members around .Thats not enough these serve a very huge vote bank to our netas. So they have a strong political backing up.They know every one from the commissioner to the constable.
If they someday feel your car thats always pardonable, acc to them .But, unfortunately ifyou do the same you have had it.Even for an invisible teeny weeny scratch they will ask compensation.Dont try to run .Before you thinking also .you will find that you are surrounded all by them.Typical movie seen unfortunatel you cant escape like the hero.
Ever tried doing a survey how many of them have a valid license.Ever thought how come they have the loudest and wildest horns.
I think thats too much defaming. But one thing is there that these blokes are quiet honest .Certainly the movie ones. Actually I am taliking about the mumbai ones only.Very rarely you will find them cheating on you.Hardly a handful will take you on a bombay darshan when you just want go to the nearest station.
Its one of the best way of transport in mumbai.
As far as I know, havent heard of any case of a rickshawla being a rape accused.You find them very safe in mumbai to go in a rickshaw even in pitch darkness.
And its also a source of much needed employment in the country.
And what about there service .PLush interiors, leather seats.
Violet and green lights if you wish to read .(dont know wheteher you can).State of the art music system. High treble .You may not understand the lyrics but you will surely notic the xing xing. Climate control air con.And a turing radius so small, that you could actually draw circle in a small gully.Ride quality is very decent.Engine is decently peppy.And you get all the variants from petrol diesel to lpg, cng.Powerless windows . what more do you want at the price it comes for( actually dont know the cost)
Well thats it about the pests of the concrete jungles.
P.S. Metre ko chuna mat .Dont touch me
