What is with the all the thunder @Bangalore past few weeks. Why such loud thunder?
Today I took an auto from Malleswaram to Indiranagar. The auto driver drove like he was crazy. I grit my teeth and left it to destiny. If I was destined to live I would! He weaved in and out of crazy traffic. We got in between ruffian lorries and dangerous inter state buses. I was on edge, but the auto driver looked unperturbed , almost bored! A three wheeler can easily topple and most young men who drive these, seem to be pushing the autos to the limits, as if they don't care for their life.
I once spoke to an auto driver who said that his life is no better than a dog's.

Auto drivers are so rude. However nice you are to them, most of them are rude. Also strangely, if you speak to them in Kannada , they are usually more rude to you than if you speak to them in Hindi. So, I usually stick to Hindi.
The auto driver today, was young and he wore a good jacket. You know these days, they sell all kinds of export rejects/used stuff whatever. I paid him a whole lot extra than what he asked for. Cause it was raining heavily and it was miserable weather.
I asked him when he was likely to wind up for the day. I like to know such things about people. He said 1.00 am! Who would go around in an auto at 1.00 am? People who have some emergency or the other. So probably he waits around for people to have some emergency and makes his money off them?
Or maybe I am wrong. He drives home people who party till late night. Today being a Friday and all...
