My most memorable Auto argument.😅

- M. Naga Jayanth Avadhani.

I usually say that I am a Hyderabadi, but I am not a pure one. I live in a small town named Gadwal near Hyderabad. I have many memories of Hyderabad. As I have studied my intermediate ie 11th and 12th there. I used to live in a hostel provided by the college. On some occasions, I and my friend had to go home. The college had a long procedure as there were strict rules to send the students home on their own. We completed the whole process and we went out heading to the Kacheguda railway station. And we were freaking hungry as we left the college with an empty stomach. As the food was freaking shit there. 

We needed something to go to the railway station. As the college was on the outskirts of Hyderabad there were no buses so we have to take an auto. And that was freaking full and we had to sit beside the driver in the fear of falling from the auto. We asked him to go to Chandrayan gutta the nearest place to the college, where buses will be available to the railway station. That autowala was a trickster and he wanted to earn as much as possible from us. In that process, he spoke to us politely and asked about our whereabouts. The place we had to go was a few kilometers away and we could reach there in 20-25 minutes. But it had been 45 minutes and we were in the middle of traffic of Hyderabad when we observed keenly, it was Malakpet the place that is 10 mins away from Kacheguda railway station. We were asked to get down and we took our luggage down from the auto. He asked us to pay him 600 rupees. We both collectively had only 600 and yet we have to eat and take a train ticket with that money. We were angry with him and started yelling at him And my friend who came with me started an argument with him and also used some sware words. 

We told him that an A.C car will take money less than that and mainly we didn’t ask him to take us to Malakpet and asked to take us to Chandrayan gutta. In the meanwhile, the traffic police arrived there and we explained to him the whole situation and luckily he was taking our side and at last, we ended up winning the argument. 

We gave 300 rupees to him and ran away with the help of the traffic police officer. Anyways he helped us a lot by taking us to Malakpet with 300 rupees or it could take two hours to reach there, but we had to take up an argument with him. That was a memorable thing we did in Hyderabad. It was our luck that the traffic police officer that luck may not work that good. So if someone wants to travel a considerable distance in an auto in Hyderabad please make sure to make a deal with the autowala on how much you will give and where to go else be ready for an unparliamentary argument with the autowala.
