Wallah, Sakinaka!

I work in Sakinaka. SAKI-NAKA. Here’s a few responses to this workplace which magically conjures up eternal sunshine for the spotless minds everyday. The autowallahs are the best! You walk upto them and inquire whether they would want to take you to Sakinaka.

Me: Sakinaka?
AutoWala: Few seconds of silence
Me: Sakinaka chalnege?
AutoWala: jerks his head with a smirk, what he means is: NO

After some repetitions of the same event, for the lack of another passenger, some guy dejectedly agrees to take you there. I personally love the challenge, you know. I count everyday the number of autos that refuse to go to sakinaka and make lists. It’s a way to keep me grounded :P. Also it presents an opprotunity to be crative, like this time:

Me: Sakinaka chaloge?
AutoWala: nahi
Me: Singapur le jaoge kya?
AutoWala: with the stupid Joey look, wo kahan hai?!
And then I board the rick as I say, chalo main rasta batata hoon. :D :D Got ya! little cheap thrills and triumphs in life :P
