Auto ride made easy!!!

Thanks for your interest in my blog. Please key down for your valuable comments.. :-)

Dream come true happened to me yesterday. Though it was not a tremendous thing, it was really awesome experience which we never faced before. Development in technology is changing our life style to the core. But I never expected this to be possible with our growing technology trends. Yes. I could believe “Everything is possible when we strive for that”.

Yes. I am about to talk about Ola auto rides with its app which is marvelous.

I was seeing lot of Ola auto rides ads these days. As I was using Ola taxi app, I used to receive many messages related to the app. Likewise, I received a message saying Ola auto free ride for first 2 rides worth Rs.50. I ignored that in the same way as other messages. But yesterday simply and suddenly I wanted to try that if it is true. Not only because of the free ride but also to check if is it true.

Really it’s one of my dreams if auto fare comes to normal. Many a times I faced several issues in the auto ride as everyone. To travel for 5 km, they will charge us double or triple the actual rate it could be. Even though meter is made compulsory, we could find no auto with proper fare.

One of the good examples could be when we were returning from egmore railway station in the early morning around 5.30 AM.  From station to our home, it could be around 12 km.  First when we asked, he told us Rs.120. We said ok and started. For the name sake, his meter was running. I was having my eye on it. We reached our home. While I checked the meter it came to 110 which Rs.10 less than the amount he charged. I was happy that he is reasonable. But while we were paying to him, he was asking for at least 150 as he will go empty from my home which is a loss for him. We told it’s after your acceptance only we get on your auto. Also, meter was showing only 110. For that he was telling, actually we need to pay double the rate of meter as it would be a loss for all the auto man to charge the same amount as per meter.

Then why Tamilnadu government decided this rate. Also, diesel rate is getting reduced comparatively. Then also, they are not happy with what we are giving.

So coming back to yesterday’s case, we planned a window shopping in mega mart which is only 2 km away from our house only to check this auto ride. Hurry is because the offer is getting elapsed today. I just booked an auto in Ola app. Within 2 minutes, I got the driver number and within 5 minutes, driver called to me to know my address.

We were very much excited and once auto came, we seated in it. After reaching the point, we were happy to see the meter showing Rs.25 which would be charged around Rs.60 (more than double the actual amount) usually. As per Ola request, we had to pay Rs 10 for driver which is not a big deal.
Then came the actual surprise for the day. I got a message stating Thanks for using Ola Auto. Your Rs.50 is credited in Ola money which you can use for future travel. Hooooooo.. Wow..



Though I agree these all business tactics to give a free ride to assure the clients to it, this was a wonderful experience in auto which we could never expect in a city like Chennai. This would be definitely very much useful for all the families.


We used the same app for returning to home. All of us had a wonderful time exploring Ola auto. Please share this experience so that everyone could use this and avoid bargaining to our very old Chennai normal autos.

Any friend struck out in candy? I am here to accompany you..

Thanks for your interest in my blog. Please key down for your valuable comments.. :-)

It was before 6 months, when I was using a non android phone. I used to go by train to office those days. I will be going in ladies compartment. There I could feel as though I am an alien sitting there as I was only the single person who was using non android. 80% of the crowd were playing candy crush so involved and with lot of interest. But I don’t know what is the most interesting in it. I could not figure out what the hell is in that as I was in lot of agony by seeing them who were all peeping into their phone without even noticing their stop.

One day came where my husband got me Moto G mobile online. I was very excited and thrilled to get that. Having that as my first android mobile, I was in the top of world for that day. As a first step, like every one, I downloaded all the apps. My night went sleepless with my Moto. In the list of my downloaded app consist of candy, the one which made me out of rage in the train.

I have started to spend my first sleepless night with candy there on.  After that, I got the answer to my question “What the hell is there in candy to get addicted to it”. It was very delicious with lot of candies and made me to enjoy its each level.

But as it went on, I took a motto in me to reach at least 100th level, then went on to 150, 200, 250. Now I got severely struck in the level 273.




 It was this candy game which made a great chocolate lover (it’s me!!!) to hate to see chocolate in my candy level. Same way, I also hate to see the bomb which is coming often in this level.

Awaiting the day when I could clear this level and proceed further..

I am sure all would have faced this situation in any one of those levels.. True right? Looking forward for your precious comments to share with me!!!!
