Don't be invisible

Invisibility is a bad thing. No, not on Google Chat (though that's bad enough). I'm talking about a more serious social evil.

I'm talking about people who sit in the corner of an autorickshaw and make it seem like the autorickshaw is empty.

Have you ever been waiting for an auto for half an hour and experienced the exultation that comes when you see a seemingly empty one heading for you, only to have all your hopes dashed into the dust when you see someone sitting in it? This could be the most important cause of depression in India, and there is only one way to remove it - punish offenders severely.

There should be a more severe punishment for those who habitually wear dark clothes while travelling in autos, thus going unobserved even in bulk. Large people wearing white shirts can be given incentives like free autorickshaw passes.


For skinny, dark-shirt-loving, corner-preferring possible-offenders, invest in a 'This auto is occupied sign'. Else, the wrath of the Man shall fall upon you.
