Auto-Rickshaw Story of the Day

So it is 6pm – home time. The driver isn’t answering his phone again so a taxi is arranged for me. I walk downstairs and there is the auto AND the taxi – AWKWARD! I jump in the auto (cheaper option) and notice my driver is covered in a splattering of blood. He tells me in broken English that a 20 year old fell into a massive roadwork ditch. My driver (aka hero) came to the rescue.

On the way home we broke down AGAIN (no petrol) and so the driver jumps out and pushed the auto up the road to the next petrol station. I couldn’t believe what was happening and it’s a sure miracle no one ran him over!

End of the day, I live to tell the tale and my reward seems to be a hike on my daily transport – maybe it’s to cover his insurance???
