Yesterday's auto ride was the worst of its kind!
I was busy chanting the morning prayers but the auto driver was applying too many brakes and with sudden jerks. I got alert and watched what made him jerk the auto to a halt all of a sudden and so many times.
This driver was clearly not for women riding scooters, cars or walking along the roads!
He would drive the auto dangerously close to the ladies walking along or close to a lady's scooter or car and watch her frightened and at times angry reaction. I could feel that he was getting cheap thrills by doing this but it was plain harassment for women drivers.
I saw many of them glaring at this fellow. quite a few times it would have ended in an accident if the auto's brakes were to fail at the nick of the moment. My wrists and hands started aching from holding on tightly to the iron bar to prevent my nose or teeth from breaking a few bones here and there!
When I asked him to be careful while driving he started a never-ending argument and I had to shout at him several times before I reached my destination. Whew! Was I relieved and thankful to God that I reached safely in one piece!
After a very long time I saw such base tendencies like this at close quarters. Wished I was never seated in such an auto ever.
May God put some sense into his head for good.
Mahalakshmi.
