[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
My train arrived on a hot morning in Puri at 3:30 am. An auto-rickshaw driver ran to my window signaling me he wanted to give me a ride. He wanted a fortune in money, and he was extremely drunk. He chased me down the train platform, yelling, trying to punch me. His fellow drivers, finally grabbed him. I escaped. An old man came by in the nick of time, slowly pedaling a bike rickshaw. I paid a much better price, and went off into the pitch black of night to find a hotel. Rickshaw drivers often were very predatory in some places, fighting with each other for a fare, especially at night. Days later he waited to take me somewhere,and asked if I remembered him.

This image does not have anything that supports the degrading story of the puri autorickshawallah's.

It is something that bothers me.

Oriyas are normally peace loving. Poor guy might be in a hurry to get a passenger. But being drunk on duty and forcing the passenger against her will is defintely a mistake.

No,I am not defending him. If at all I have to defend, it is you. Simply because you were a guest and we should be careful on how to welcome and receive a guest.Railway station, bus terminuses always gives a first impression. You had a bad one.

People of all types live in this world.So it would be wise to be a little protective while travelling alone.

Hope your Puri trip was otherwise enjoyble.

Regards,
Bishnu.
