Last evening when I was going back to home by
a shared auto a woman signalled auto driver to stop with a huge
bundle of rags. First driver hesitated to stop but suddenly he realized he
could make money from the extreme back seat of his auto. He stopped and asked
woman to take extreme back seat. But woman started begging for half of the
fare. She insisted that extreme back seat would be anyway remaining vacant.
Finally she got the seat and reached to the destination in half fare. It was
really disturbing to see that she was willing to walk for hours instead of
paying fare. This is the plight of thousands of poor people living in small
towns.
