I was returning from Coimbatore(the place where I study) in Kerala’s own K.S.R.T.C.It was a normal journey,even the traffic jam at Edappally was expected.I usually walk from Edappally high school stop to my home at mamangalam(they don’t have stop at mamangalam).It takes about 15mins and i love that walk,looking at the latest movie posters,feeling the cool breeze and honking of traffic(well i hate the last part).

But this day from nowhere,it rained.I love rain but not when im back from a four hour journey.Having no choice I took an auto from Edppally to mamnagalam.In the auto this is what caught my attention,the metre.All of us Kochities have to use autos atleast once in a week but has any one botherd to look whether the metres are working or not?.Call it the economic constraints of a college boy or the supersaving of a banker’s son but I do look at the metres when ever I take an auto.This was the figure when the engine started in the metre.

To be frank I had seldom seen it ticking .Even if it did work the numbers it shows has no relation to what the auto guy demands.And I being a chocolate boy(hates violence) ends up giving what the guy demands in the end.Kochi has one thing to be relieved about this the auto metre case, its the same wher evr you travel.Be it Coimbatore ,Chennai or bengaluru.Infact I observed Kochi to be  bit more reasonable in rates as compared to other cities.Coming back to the auto journey,I reached home in about 5 minutes even though the ride was bumpy and  wet.The metre still showed the exact same figures as it did when the journey began.Exact to even decimal figure.The auto driver could have asked for the amount that came to his mind at that moment.But thankfully he just asked 20rs,pretty reasonable.But what if he asked for double that 40rs?.Where would I have complained or should the question  be would i have botherd to lodge a complaint.I would have cursed the rain gods and walked past.If the metre never ticks why waste the space and money on it auto chetans.And why do I feel so helpless about the auto fare.Thankfully this story had a good ending,but what if next one doesnt?whom should I complain to?.Help me Kochi.Help me Kochigallan : (
