Hundred and forty

A taxi or auto ride in heavy traffic is utterly boring. If you are browsing the net on a phone, then all places on the earth are the same. Somehow, I can't browse the net on taxi travel around the city. I love to see around. I love to see new models of a car, how erratic drivers are, how skillfully some drivers maneuver in the traffic. But the best part is the conversation with taxi drivers. They represent the diversity of India. Being a taxi owner is the easiest way of self-employment. If you are ready to work hard and have infinite patience, then you can make your living. It is a back-breaking job but you need not report to a superior. Though all drivers are different, there is a common theme in these stories.
