Its been over nine months that i have cme to stay in the 2nd most important IT city in the country, Hyderabad. From the outside or for a traveller, its an awesome city. Cos. like Microsoft, UBS, TCS , Cognizant and of course my own Infosys do have their offices, so maybe it is.
What i wud like to talk to u abt is the brilliant and at the sametime scary means of transport that I take to reach my office. Everyone has heard and sme have even travelled in the 6 seater autos. But for the autos here 6 is too less, how abt 18 or even 19. And yes, i was one of them..
The inside of the auto is also interesting...the songs are playin but one one cannot see a panel of the taperecorder / a radio...the PLAYbutton(if you call that) are two wires which the driver tightens to start the song and seperates them to STOP it.
Another means of transport that we use are the normal autos(3 seater), but they are all but normal. They seat 5 minumum, or else they dont start. And of course I end up sitting next to the drivers all the time as gals are not allowed there,luckily. I get quite a view sitting there , though I did hit a calf or I shud say the calf hit my leg when my auto driver forgot that the brakes in his vehicle can be used once in a while.
One time in the auto, they was no acceleration in the handle. He was pulling the actual wire with his feet..
But alls not bad in these autos. These are the first vehicles to have all tech-savvy electronic meters which have exact calculation of fares etc. Also, the autos are specially available at the office timings of the IT industry employees
There are also those lucky times when I can use the cab/company bus to commute to office... :)
