Today I am going to share two different experiences. One - you can say a best practice. The other - I want you to give it some name....
The first one is ....
Last Saturday, I was waiting at Dhaba bus stop ( Gachchibowli to Mehidipatnam road ) for bus. I should go to Mehidipatnam. An auto was stopped - its going to Mehidipatnam, the autowala said. So, I got into it and was the only one in the auto. The fare was Rs. 8 and I decided to give him Rs.10 ( :-) since he gets only my fare for the total 10KM distance ). The route : Dhaba --> Dargah--> Shekpet --> Galaxy--> ToliChowki --> Nanal Nagar --> Rethibowli --> Mehedipatnam
As we reached ToliChowki, the autowala said - He could come till RethiBowli only. I asked him " You said you would come till Mehdipatnam". He said Ok. And He stopped auto near Rethibowli and told me to be seated in auto. Out of curiosity, I got down to see what he is doing. He has been stopping auto for me. One auto stopped and I got into it. I gave this guy ten, he returned two rupees to me and paid four rupees for the other auto( Mehdipatnam ). I was moved by his service.
On the other hand, today, when I am coming to office in an APSRTC bus ( Rt number: 116N), I witnessed 'Self'-service :-) :-). I got into this bus at NanalNagar. And somewhere near Dargah or Shekpet, one fellow got into the bus( not only one :-), but he is the subject of this topic ). He had to take ticket, but stood silently. Since, the bus will be too crowded, its not easier for conductor to reach each passenger for the ticket at everystop. Somehow, the conductor came to this guy and asked where he wants to go. This guy gave the conductor Rs.3 and said Khajaguda. The conductor said "I know where you got into bus".( from that place the ticket would be five rupees) and took the three rupees. After few minutes, he gave ticket for Rs.2. And I know the biggest culprit is - the person who is posting the blog here. I managed only to become a silent witness to this, than anything better thing.
Indians are suffering from Poverty. Not financial , but THOUGHT POVERTY. People like autowala above are exceptions.
