Your fury at those ridiculous auto fares is completely justified - Chennai auto drivers really do seem to think they're running luxury limousines instead of three-wheelers! Walking 3km in Chennai's blazing sun just to prove a point shows incredible stubborn determination, even if your poor feet are probably plotting revenge against you right now. Sometimes our pride costs us more than the overpriced ride would have, but there's something deeply satisfying about refusing to be taken advantage of, even when we're the ones who end up suffering for it.
