Every one has their own difficulties.

Everyone has their own difficulties. A week back I was walking in Brindawan street to reach my home. Suddenly the sound of two Strong Men made me turn and look at the auto rickshaw.The two thuds were pushing a fat elderly man into an auto rickshaw. The old man has drunk upto the neck. The thuds are instructing the auto driver to drop him at his residence which is not known to anybody. The auto driver was very reluctant to hear the instructions. However he is obliged to obey the same. The old man was not coherent in his remembering the address.The auto driver told some place after carefully hearing the description gave by the person.. At once he burst into laughter and said a kilo gram of sugar has to be put in the drivers mouth for correctly guessing his residence. The joy was short lived when once again the old man said a place which is diagonally opposite to the place mentioned by the auto driver. As the road is a very busy one and the auto cannot afford to stand more than 2-3 minutes, he started the vehicle only to stop at the end of the road.This time some loud sound from the auto driver to the occupant who refused to get down as he is entitled to be taken to his residence. All on a sudden a small crowd gathered and wanted to guess the place he wants to go. The auto driver was cursing his fate with this man inside. Finally one person in the crowd could identify this old man and said daily this is the practice of this man to reach his house by not paying any auto fare. I felt regretted for the auto rickshaw driver's plight. Whenever they carry people who had taken too much of drinks this is the problem. Once my car driver who was driving auto rickshaw earlier informed me of one incident. A decent person entered his auto. On the way he wanted to purchase some liquor. After purchasing the same he started drinking in the auto. By the time he reached his home he went straight to his house without settling the bill. Poor fellow went and pressed the calling bell of the house only to see a lady opening the door. She said the man is her husband and he had directly went to the bedroom and started sleeping. When the auto driver was demanding money she coolly replied that she cannanot pay anything as she is not aware from where he travelled and told him to come on the next day to collect the fare. He went on the next day only to be informed that the person had left to office and will come only in the evening. It took more than 2 days for him to collect the amount with much difficulty. Every profession has got its own difficulties.
