Public Transport in India

Gosh ....I always will think twice before taking taxi in India. This time I had no choice as there were no 3 wheelers around and there were only 1 taxi there. So I asked the Punjabi old man if he knows where is Sahara Mall. He says "yes". Then he send a guy to ask another guy where is Sahara Mall. I did not know this till the guy came back and told go straight.
Then he said it is Rps 200.00. I agreed as some charges 300.00 Rps. Then he start driving and he start to ask ppl ...where is Sahara Mall. Wow...he said he knows and now asking me and people. I show the direction till where I know. Then I guess he realised that it is far, he came to a point ( a round about) and said "this is Sahara Mall. Since I have been to the place I denied and insisted that he take me there. Then the guys there said it is about 2-3 Km away.
I still insist that he send me there. Then he offered me 20rps for me to take a 3 wheeler to Shara Mall from there. Gosh......
He can't be bothered with my demands.....then I told i will pay him 150 rps and he asked for 180.00 rps. Then I paid 170.00 rps and left the place. Then I walked about 2 km to Sahara Mall....for me who like to travel by foot ...it was a enjoyable walk as it was still cold out there....any way thanks to the taxi man. But don't make it a practice! Hehehehehe.
Then when coming back from there was a tough one too ....could not see a taxi and at last I got one. It was about 11Km from Sahara Mall to my hotel and he charged me 200 rps but was a no hassle drive.
India should consider a proper public transport.....

Story of Saint Patinatar

Taken from : http://www.hinduwomen.org/dynamic/modules.php?name=hncontent&pa=showpage&pid=306&page=1 Dedicated to some of my blog readers, with blessing of THE ABSOLUTE and Patinatar. The legend connected with the birth of Pattinathar is as follows : -- The boy was very pious and intelligent, and evinced great interest in learning the Vedas and Sastras.

He was very anxious to get a worthy guru. One day Lord Siva appeared in his dream as a Brahmin and asked him to go over to Tiruvengadu the next day (Monday - Tiruvona Star) where a guru would teach him all he wanted to learn. Accordingly, Tiruvengadar went to Tiruvengadu the next day with very great joy and met the same Brahmin who appeared to him in his dream. Immediately Tiruvengadar fell at his feet, and stood before him with his head bowed down. The
