Read in Vijay TV's Grandmaster style, thamizh mixed with malayalam.."Yaare manasele yaare
Autokkaaran manasele yaare
Avan poradhu endha oore!"
Autorickshaw drivers are a very frustrating lot. They have a destination point in mind when they drive by, and if you correctly guess the place they have in mind, you win an all-expenses paid (by you of course) ride.
My spiritual guide Koundamani once made fun of this behaviour in a movie by asking auto drivers to display a board (mentioning destination point) outside their vehicles akin to buses, so people would not waste their time.
This is how I rid myself of this frustration (translated from thamizh):
Me: I want to go to Ayanavaram
Autodriver: Auto won't come! *shaking his head* *vrrrooom*
Me: Wait wait, I want to go to Anna Nagar!!
Autodriver: *stops vehicle and gestures me to step inside auto*
Me: I won't come! *shaking my head* *walking away*
At least I have the satisfaction of having said no to him! :-)

Hi Vinesh,
I agree that Auto guys in Chennai are a menace - looters to be precise. Would you join hands to solve the auto menace at least in Chennai?
