It was during Christmas time that I had a visit by another Army Officer (from the Armored Division). His name was Xavier, one of my closest colleague from home. He was one step senior to me in school.
It was the funniest moment in terms of an auto ride. Xavier knows very well how to ride (of all automobile, even auto rickshaw)
We were out in Elliot's Beach one evening. Me, Xavier and one mutual friend Tluanga. We were riding a horse and had a good race! One bad thing about me is that I always wins a race! Dude Xavier was really scared!:( We entertain ourselves whatever fun possible was there. We spend around two hours and after that walked towards the road for an auto.
Now the fun start. we got our rickshaw and the driver was......
I had a number of auto rickshaw rides in and around Chennai and none drive that much fast even in the height of our hurry!
Tluanga was sitting in the other rod fenced side and Xavier sat in the middle. I peeped from the back to see the speedometre. It touch 60 miles per hour when i saw but i knew we were sometimes higher than that! Now that Xavier started holding and speak to the rickshaw man asking him to slow down but we don't want it coz we feels nice! He now said he had known how an auto can easily met with an accident but we are not listening! The driver again resume his race, he almost collide everytime when reaching a traffic and there will be always shouts from other vehicles. Cars and bikes are no match to our auto that day. what a Driver! Upon reaching our stop we were speechless!! we asked the driver his address and his mobile no. We two of us want to ride again someday in that same auto-rickshaw!!
