Since I rely on auto's to get around it gets pretty tiring a) explaining for 10 minutes that you want to go to Spencer Plaza and b) spending the next 20 minutes refusing to pay 150 bucks for the privilege of taking me there! I moan at length about auto drivers on my blog! Interesting piece of advice, as a foreigner in Chennai I get charged at least double what the normal cost is.

I even give them the distance in kms and it is always wrong. They get stumped with the numbers i quote. @ Sowmya Thanks for reminding me to blog more often. Well never let those auto guys get the better of you. It is a mind and time game. You need some training. Buzz me the next time you are i Chennai. @ Jollyroger well I still have fun just by talking with them

I can't agree with you more...Chennai auto guys are a law unto themselves. If there is no traffic and u reach early they say -" I got you so early...gimme 10 bucks extra". and if there is traffic and u get delayed big time, they say - " so much traffic, ma. 10 potu thanga ma" Gaaaaaaaaah! What is one supposed to do?? Heyy nice to see u blogging after ages! I can’t agree with you more…Chennai auto guys are a law unto themselves.
