Autowallahs it seems are driving me crazy. Man, there’s so much to learn from them. So much of knowledge to be gained……It sometimes makes me feel strange to see people who cant afford the kind of luxury we do being so good at heart.
The incident that took place today totally left me flabbergasted. I generally go to my university with one of my close friend’s with whom I have car pooled. He comes and picks me up from a point mid-way which is convenient to both of us. To go to that point I usually take an auto. This in short is the routine I generally follow.
The same cycle was followed today as well but with a dash of difference. The difference that forever changed my perception of these autowallahs. I got down at my point as usual and handed him a 100 Rupee note. Now, this guy didnt have the change to return me back. The trip costed me 30 Rs and this chap owed me 70 bucks. We tried asking for change from people who were passing by, some vegetable and fruit vendors but unfortunately none of them had any. Maybe, they didnt want to give. I seriously dont know. But all our efforts to get the change proved futile.
Suddenly my friend came in. I asked him for change, but this guy too didnt have. So we were left standing somewhere in the middle of a busy road looking for change and none of the people-right from a traffic cop to an industrialist didnt have. This actually can be a perfect example of India’s development. People indeed have got richer by the day. They dont have two fifty rupee notes 
This autowallah comes to me, tells me to go to the college and not to worry about the money as he would collect from me later on. I am like when, he is like “Duniya bahut chotti hai sahab, kahin na kahin phir kabhie mulakat zaroor hogi” (The world indeed’s a small place to live in and we would definately be seeing each other for sure)
I am speechless. All I do is thank him, shake his hands, get into the car and move ahead. His auto’s disappeared and the the last thing I can see is the registration number that reads something like :- DL-1-RH-1699
What amazes me is the fact that if a person of mine or your caliber would have been in this guy’s place, we would have left no stone unturned to get our money. Admit it or not, this what we have been born and brought up to.To be cruel in any and every situation. Whether the other’s person’s in a hurry or not, the work should be done. I saw something really different in this guy’s attitude, something that made me think that in today’s cruel mad world u still have kind hearted people like him for whom money is not the priroity.
This is what a common man in today’s world is. Sometimes a God and most of the times a Devil. But the show goes on…..
