Autodisk!!!

Travel life in Mumbai Auto is so funny. I happened to travel from Powai to Thane. My first surprise was that the auto driver from Powai said he can drop me only at the Thane Toll gate. Beyond that I had to catch another auto to travel inside Thane. I have changed buses / trains / flights to reach a destination but Autos!??! Wow that was an adventure..

The second pleasant and funny was the travel and the negotiation of traffic. We three (Myself, driver & his auto) were stuck in the traffic. The driver said, “sabji, pakde rahna” (Sir, pl. hang on), with these words, he moved through the gaps onto the footpath which was filled with potholes due to the major rains. Then started the lovely bumpy ride for close to a kilometer. Thanks to his maneuvering we managed to come in front of the travel and I managed not to have a slip disk…


You need to have a special disk in your back called “Autodisk”!!!
