The Longest Serving Taxi Driver in Delhi?
We discussed which was better to have, the book of thanks or the photo album whilst driving around at 20kms per hour (his very top speed) and being stopped every so often by other taxi drivers who all paid their respects to him like he was the godfather of all the black and yellow ambassador drivers in Delhi. This happened three times on a 25 minute journey. He was delighted when we got to my house and he saw The Babe, there is a common bond between all of us die hard Ambassador owners. He inspected her from all angles and waggled his head and told me, ‘very nice car madam, very good choice, hmm, very much good.’ Of course he then proceeded to royally rip me off and overcharged me by adding a good 25% onto the meter rate, a true professional Delhiite but he did it without making me feel bad. What a pro and what a find! I have his card and will be discovering more of Delhi with him…
