Today I had a run in with a mad auto-rickshaw driver.

I was at Defence Colony markets and looking to get a ride home. I asked for 30Rs and I am sure the rickshaw driver said 40Rs. I felt I was being ripped off but I wasn’t feeling in a bargining mood. Then we got near home he pulled up next to a bus making my exit difficult. Then when I gave the 40Rs he started demanding that I give him 80Rs. I told him no.

I started to walk away and the crazy driver tried to chase me. Thankfully my apartment enterance is in a alleyway not accesable by autos or cars. So I continued to walk away.

This is the only time that I have had such an experience in a rickshaw and I have travelled in a lot of them.
