I was waiting for my Volvo Bus one Sunday afternoon. And it came. I wanted to go to Kundanahalli and asked for the ticket. With a smile the conductor told me “nehi jayega. Pls get down at Graphite India”. Why? I was lost…oh! Yes, the over-bridge is being constructed and roads are closed!!!
The conductor looks at me and understands what I was thinking. He offers help “graphite India se Dabba le lena…”
Dabba? What is that? He smiles at his own joke; “auto rickshaw” he confirms with a twinkle in his eyes…
Hmmn… I guess a Volvo bus conductor can call an auto rickshaw a dabba!!!
