These blessed human beings firstly take the law into their own hands. They seem to have their own set of traffic rules and are literally kings on the road.

They contribute to the ever-increasing pollution at Bangalore. These days, the 'Lords of the Road' have started getting their engines tampered enabling them to run on a mixture of kerosene and gasoline. This not only creates more air pollution, but also makes a terrible sound. You can make it out with just the sound! Einstein must be turning in his grave 'hearing' these geniuses!

Auto rickshaw drivers are good competitors. They are the best road hogs around, competing with their 'larger' counterparts, the truck/lorry drivers. Have you watched this sort of game on the roads?

These three wheeled drivers determine where you should go regardless of your destination or even some place near there. He grimaces and then maybe, yawns and turns away. The place you just mentioned does not impress him.

And then, why do you need to waste your money on a dictionary of slangs? (Assuming there are dictionaries of local slangs!!) These auto rickshaw drivers use all the expletives in the world with such panache that you wonder if they went to a 'school for slangs' or some such institution! So, enrich your vocabulary when you have an easy option!

Broad daylight robbers! A free art that they cultivate once they are embraced into this community. There is a particular place in the city; I'm told where the meters are tampered with in order to 'run' the meter fast. An average auto rickshaw driver hopes to make at least double the amount of the normal earnings and a million times the number of point-to-point travels.

And heaven knows the sorry plight of the lone female commuter who wishes to get back home some late evening when a drunken auto driver drives her home. The tongue slurring innuendoes and the rash driving which makes the journey such a dreadful one!

There is so much I have to say but we will keep it for some other day!
