Once, I was returning from the Train station to my home in a Shared Auto-rickshaw.
On the way, a lady who had got in at college road, got down at Blue-star stop.
She gave the driver 10 and was about to leave.
The driver demanded 15 as the fare.
She argued that all auto drivers charge only 13 and questioned why he was charging 15.
The auto driver did not budge. She had to give 15 and left cursing.
Now...I myself have taken the trip between College road and Blue-star many times... and the fare was always 13.
I knew the driver had overcharged her...but i cant help but ask myself the question "If she herself knew that the fare was 13, why did she try to leave by giving just 10 ?"
Money.. money... money..
