Autorickshaw drivers in Bangalore

Blogging does this to you: it makes you observe the world a lot more. 'Cos you tell yourself, for everything that you see around, that 'you're going to blog it'..and when you actually get to this Posting page at blogger.com, you can't remember what you wanted to write about in the first place.

But today, i remembered!

My workplace is like 7minutes away from home by Autorickshaw..the fare can be anywhere between Rs15, or Rs27 (depending on the route i take, and how much the driver wants to cheat me [i.e.manipulated meter].

So whenever I want to go to my workplace, or get back home, I end up asking at least 9 drivers to take me to 'Coxtown', or 'Infantry Road-Medinova'...those characters always give me a 'you-gotta-be-kidding-me' look and say No (which is annoying)..the funny ones say, 'Ok, but 1-and-a-half times the meter' (to which I laugh and say NO to their faces).

BUT, i found a way to get around it..by using a portion of my girlish charm of course =) That means, 1. to talk in Tamil (even if they don't know tamil, i don't care, i'm practising).. and 2 and more importantly, to say Please, It's getting late..WORKS LIKE A CHARM

I am however, gonna attempt taking the bus soon..the moment i get a more comfortable (and with that i mean Practical) pair of shoes.
