Those who are not
aware "I'm in Chennai now, till when IDK" . I know what you all will
be thinking what the HELL I'm doing here. Trust me minimum 25 people asked me
the same Q and I'm done answering, to few I say "long story", few folks
I've to explain. As the matter of fact I choose Chennai as my first joining
preference, ok!!! I'm working in Accenture as ASE.
First
day in Chennai, I got down at CMBT, it’s a bus hub, from there I've to reach
sholinganallur, OMR. So as a tourist I asked one security guard for an enquiry
counter, as to be generous to me, He asked "kaha jana hai"
I
showed him the address which I've had already saved in my cell phone. He
pointed out the bus for me, as a dumbass I couldn't able to figure out which
bus that is, so he escorted me to that bus. I felt that Chennai, people are not
bad as people told me before.
Conductor!!!!!!!!!!
I might forget security guard, who was very generous to me, but not this
conductor. Firstly he asked me 100 bucks, for me and my luggage when the actual
ticket was 19Rs for me, and 19Rs for my luggage. After some negotiation with
him he gave me two tickets for the same
i.e. 28Rs. I gave him 100Rs note and he wrote the remaining at the back of the
ticket and asked me to collect rest of the money after 30mins. I thought its
fine. I asked him to drop me at my address, he smiled as to make me feel home
and very politely he said "theek hai".
After
half and hour I went to him and asked "tell me when it come", he said
"ok"!!! Then I asked for the remaining money, he gave me 50bucks, I
asked for more he told something " personal …………………………….." I strictly
asked for more, then he gave me 12Rs
more, while leaving I told him to drop me at my address, he told rudely I don't
know your address!!!!!!!
What
the HELL man?
Was
it all about money?
Was
that smile was to overcharge me?
Was
that polite replies was to make me fool?
One side that
security guard who without any personal interest of his own escorted me to my
bus and here this conductor, from my boarding till I got down was only thinking
how to overcharge me, make me fool.
No state you can say
is bad, its more like every state has two kind of people, all you have to do is
to avoid bad people and survive with generous people.
Over all I'm liking
this place, for those who told me it 'll be tough to survive here, for those,
its not tough all you have to do is to adjust and start having positive
attitude. :)
