sometime,some Innovation are not so Complete..

Incident had begun like this…..
The person was new to city. He had called his relative and asked couple of landmarks and the information about the road he should take to reach their home. The city has minimal public transport service, so person has no choice and took Auto rickshaw.

The person asked that Auto-Richshaw guy: Do you know this address?
Auto-rickshaw guy: Yes sir I know very well…
(The person trusted him and took the auto. In hardly 15 minutes, the Auto guy took him to the right place as per the address.)

Auto-rickshaw guy: Sir, 165 Rs?
The person: (Surprisingly…)... Travelling for 15 minutes, you are charging 165 Rs. Show me your meter?

Auto-rickshaw guy: Ohhh sir!!! My meter is not showing correct reading..!!! (The meter is showing 0:65 and he was claming 1:65. That means, if 1:65 then, we have travelled 16 Km so far.)

The person: Then, how will I trust you? Do you have meter card? Show me…!!!
Auto-rickshaw guy: No Sir, I don’t have meter card. (In which for every reading, there is translation given. Reading <-> Rs)

The person: I will not pay you money until you show me the card.
Auto-rickshaw guy: Ohhh!! Okie give me 155 Rs.

The person: I will not pay. You fist show me the card.
Auto-rickshaw guy: Okie sir... Give me 135 Rs.

The person: No No..!! You ask other Auto-Driver and get the card. I will not pay without seeing the meter card.
Auto-rickshaw guy: Okie sir... Pay at least 115 Rs.

The person: (Interesting ... From 165 to 115) I will call the police if you are not showing the card. Auto-rickshaw guy: Okie sir... Pay at least 95 Rs.

The person: (The person has a side thought that this guy is telling truth, may be he is not having a meter card. But let’s try one more time). Wait…!! Let me call that other Auto-Rickshaw driver. He must be having a meter card.

Auto-rickshaw guy: Okie sir, Wait Sir…!!! I have a card.
(He has produced the card from his own pocket only. It is showing just 55 Rs for the reading)
The Person: Has given 60 Rs and ask 5 Rs back.

Auto-rickshaw guy: Sir... I don’t have a change.
The Person: Wait...!! I will give you the change. I will not give you single extra penny as you lied so much.

The person reached to his relative’s house. He has inquired about Auto Fair for the distance he was travelled. The person was right and he has given the right amount to the Auto Wala. Auto driver was actually lying about the meter that it was not showing correct reading.

Sometime, we have also encounter the situation about bargaining for Auto-fair. Isn’t it a ridiculous that before getting into Auto-rickshaw, you have to bargain for the auto-fair? How is it possible for the person who is new in the city? He is just keeping trust on the Auto-rickshaw driver and taken his service. Every Auto-rickshaw has been provided with meter, which shows actual distance covered by them and we have to pay the fair according. Why do we require to do bargain for this? This creates the space for cheating. Either they cheat you or you will cheat them. Because of this, sometimes people ended up in un-safe environment.

On the other side, you can’t force honesty to everyone. That is impossible. We don’t have control to other’s mind. Sowhat we can do is to make machine which will do this task. Sothat, both (service provider and service user) will trust on machine.

But, such incidents shows that they overcome all these machine inventions and make you feel that "sometime, some Innovation are not so Complete".
