Not always you will come across an autorickshaw driver with a good heart.... Most of them i came across all my life were just greedy for money.... But sunday was different.... I was shifting from patel nagar to my new apartment in shakarpur... most of the shifting were done on the day before... All left on sunday was handful of things which i thought i can move on sunday in an auto...
The thing about patel nagar, hardly you get an auto from the south side... if you catch one from the west side, they charge like anything.... I walked up the that side and asked the first auto i saw, he told a rate in which could travel for a 100kms!!!!!... left him just there... then saw a bunch of autos in which one of the drivers came forward and offered a reasonable rate... He drove an extra 2 km to reach my building and i was surprised he didnt charge for that...
The journey from Patel nagar to Shakarpur was not a long one thanks to the driver... he was chatty, not irritating chatty.... from Politics, to his touchy personal stories he was engaging.... He talked about the Delhi attitudes, the corrupt policemen... and about his family.... He talked how people are becoming selfish these days... people forget how to help others selfless.... even own blood.... he then talked how his family didnt help when in in need; when his son was dying... there was a lump in his throat when he said this.... He then talked about his only daughter, how good she is in studies... his dreams on her future....
By the time i reached my new apartment i wish the journey a bit more longer, so that i can listen to this man... I thanked him for the safe ride, paid him and said good bye.... Respect, for the first selfless man i found in Delhi!!!!
