If at all there is place for an 8th wonder of the world, it has to be the ubiquitous Hyderabad auto. Supposed to accomodate 4, it is quite capable of holding 3 times as many. Now, you might be wondering 12 people can get into an auto.
I will do the arrangement for you. 3 on the seat behind, 4 perchedon the 3 behind, 2 on either side with their posteriors in mid air, 2 on either side of the driverand finally the driver. That makes it 12. Simple isnt it?
NO its not. The tought part begins when you stop the auto and tell the driver where you want to go.Before he says get in you say no looking at the teeming "millions" all huddled up for the journey of their lives. However the driver convinces you that there is place with his killer line: Saab jab dil mein jagah ho to kaayka problem.
As soon as you get in you know that you have been duped. A glance at your co passengers tells you their story. Now the journey itself is another story. I reserve it for another day.
