#3 Moments - For a few coins more...


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 INR10 and was about to leave.
The driver demanded INR15 as the fare.

She argued that all auto drivers charge only INR13 and questioned why he was charging INR15.

The auto driver did not budge. She had to give INR15 and left cursing.

Now...I myself have taken the trip between College road and Blue-star many times... and the fare was always  INR13.

I knew the driver had overcharged her...but i cant help but ask myself the question "If she herself knew that the fare was INR13, why did she try to leave by giving just INR10 ?"
