hey guys,
Thank you for giving my previous post such a heartwarming welcome. So here is my 3rd post about my journey in Delhi.
Now day 2 was pretty simple and much less tiresome. so since I had 1 more day booked at the hotel and my house worries were over(apparently I thought so) I went out shopping. I always wanted to buy a proper full patlaya(Indian Haram) but you don't get them in Mumbai. So I decided to fulfill my wish and went out shopping but since I don't know Delhi I decided to hire a car and go out shopping and view some famous places in Delhi and have the local cuisines. Had a lot of fun and enjoyed Delhi for the 1st time.
Day 3:
Now I couldn't afford a private car on day 3 so I thought I could manage on my own via auto and rickshaw. I was wrong.
Now in Delhi unlike Mumbai you have 2 types of rickshaw one cycle rickshaw which is pulled by a person and the other which is called as rickshaw and the other is the mechanic one which is driven by a person which is called the auto.
So at first I got an auto and as a true Mumbaikar I checked for the meter and the auto guy bluntly told me that he wont ply via a meter and has a fixed rate, and as mumbaikar I protested and he challenged me to find a auto that would ply via a meter. Challenge accepted.
I asked another auto and even he refused to use the meter. and this went on for a while. I mean what is the propble with using the meterbwhen you have installed it?
5 autos later I realized that my ethics do not matter here. Ok now I'm stranded at Achana complex trying to find a meter complying auto and then comes this auto guy and stops in front of me and I ask him to take me to lajpat nagar and he looks at me and starts talking on his phone, he didn't even have the courtesy to answer me. Rude much
So after failing miserably I just got into any auto that I could manage, I sat in it payed him whatever he charged and reached my destination.
Sometimes I miss Mumbai a lot, I guess cause I was used to it and familiar with the method to deal people there, I was not scared to shout at someone who misbehaved or even put up a fight(yes I capable of kicking any guy in the nuts) but I'm quite scared here in Delhi. I think my mom is right the city will be more friendlier with time.
I hope.
P.S :- dear readers,
if you guys have any suggestions to my predicaments please do comment and help me out.
