auto-wala

Aren’t the autowalas of Bangalore more in the news than the film stars? The recent auto rickshaw raid by the Bangalore police is a tight slap on their rude behaviors and their illogical demands. I have captured some of the conversation and have given it life through this article. The following are the some of the typical Bangalore Auto scenarios which we experience in our regular lives. These are all different scenarios and aren’t connected to each other.

1. Bhaiya, why are you taking the longer route?

It is peak hour and hence I am taking you through the short cuts, thereby saving your time.

2. Madam, can you please pay extra Rs 20 as I will be without passenger during the return?

Oh really! Will you pay me if you get a passenger during your return?

3 .Bhaiya, Shivajinagar chaloge?

Nahi madam, its too far…

Dude, that’s why I  need an auto.

4. Auto, auto?

The auto driver waves me a good bye without even halting.

Hello…Auto…Arey…

5. Bhaiya kitna hua?

Madam, Rs 82 but please pay me Rs 90 as I do not have the change. Round figure to banta hai madam?

What? round figure?  Yeh lo Rs 80 plus the change.

6. Sir, RT nagar?

Yes, but rasta malum hai aap ko?

Lol!

7. Meter 1 and half.

It’s just 8.45 pm, bhaiya.

By the time u board the auto and I start, it will be 9.00 pm. Chalna kya?

WTF?

8.  Bhaiya Majestic chaloge (from J.p nagar)?

Madam bus no.2 and 215.

Wow! How generous of you?

9. Scenario: empty Auto at the auto stand:

Bhaiya, koromangla?

Where in koromangla?

Forum mall

Wo kidar hai?

Christ college, big bazaar ….

Ha, wo malum hai, but nahi jayega

Kyu?

Waiting mein hai, madam!

Grrrrrr

10. Conversation in the auto:

Madam, are you working in IT Company.

Yes

Do you stay nearby? If yes, then I can drop you every day? My auto is just near the bus stop.

Oh ok!

BTW I am on facebook. Can we be friends?

Stop, stop, roko auto…. Teri tho…

Ha Ha! I am sure you had a hearty laugh. Please share your experience with us ….
