In the middle of the artificial fuel availability crisis last week (I am of the very strong opinion that the whole thing was a charade orchestrated by the Oil companies in collusion with the Government), the regular auto guy who takes us to the railway station in the morning, had taken a few days off to set right his auto for an FC.
So, I had hired a different auto from near my house that morning. After the usual haggling of prices, we settled at 90 bucks. After I got down and paid him, he did something which is basically the heights of Irony.
He actually took the money and then placed it in front of the God stickers in his view inside the vehicle. At some level, it was a normal act, considering that it was his first income for the day. But what he did after that only shocked me. He actually placed the note I'd given him, ON THE METER!!!!
Can you think of anything more ironical?
