We know that 'The customer is the king' is the motto of shopkeepers around the world but the same cannot be said about our Mumbai's Rickshawallas who always think that they are the king and we are the ones who need them.With need of rickshas more than their number and this attitude remaining constant in all of them these practices remain intact. We always have a spat with these rickshawallas over their refusal of taking us to our desired location.While price hikes of their fare being as common as that of petrol, their reluctance of going to places has been undiminished.
Many people have suggested using of cycles rather than rickshas but during our monsoons this suggestion goes down with rainwater. And while their need increases by large quantity, their attittude too increases. This means they prefer empty seats rather than going to waterlogged areas.Its a question how this does not trouble their family income but it does affect us while going to classes/schools/colleges/offices. Although its not tough to convince our teachers why we are late but it gets more and more frustrating to wait for the rickshas for 15 mins and then go walking where other cars are spraying water all around.
As asking for them to change will not make any difference and we will always need them to go from A to B we can just say ,"LONG LIVE THE RICKSHAWALLAS"
By the way, I would like to congratulate all the 12th std and 10th std pass outs for your great marks and would like to welcome the 10th passouts to the college club.
