2 important things happened on 26 jan 2007

one which the whole india knows the 60th year of republic india...the indian republic year..but we have been seein that year after year for the past 60 yrs.......
on 26th jan the new auto fares were imposed(was it really??)by which the fares are like Rs14 upto 2km min den Rs6 for every km..dey can charge 25% more at nights and rs0.40 for waiting every 5 mins(i think)
dey have been given time of 6 weeks for eletric meters to upgrade to newer system and 6 months for the normal meters to install eletronic meters and financing will b provided by the govt!!
this sounds so bloody dam good in the newspapers!!!!

i happened to be using this mode of transport on THE DAY(26th jan,duh!)and no bloody auto guy was following the rules we were 3 of us ayush gokul n me,tried atleast 10autos but no one would come and if they did were charging way too high,we were getting late
(think it was 10) so we finally decided to get an auto agreeing to pay high price without the meter running,on our way back gokul n his thing with "public relations"that he calls it started to talk with the driver by just one question "why dont u guys use this meter"in tamil naturally and wow!!the drive just kept talking,he was like u guys can try all u want but this wont happen at all,if any passenger wants us to use the meter we'll just not agree and move away..n blah blah blah..the prices are just too low for us to survive..blah blah blah...he went on non stop until gokul got off on the way!!i dont know what type of magice did he do but he totally brain washed gokul man!!gokul was like let him keep the change when u guys get of(Rs20 change..he does not want it..wat is he crazy!!!)and so i did,but they shoulnt encourage this sort of stuff yaar,look at mumbai why cant our city b like that....
would like to know ur experiences if they have been using things properly,looks different,or they still the same old ppl...
do let me know......
