Picture of an Auto. Guindy Race course road, Chennai.

The advent of the excessive Internet usage in my country. Reason-Two years before Jio hit the market, they knocked the society out of its stable minds.

Internet has been the destination for many activities. It is not only a serious business enhancement tool, it is also a serious tool for ordering vegetables, breakfasts, tampons and condoms without human intervention to a possible extent.

People calling up restaurant to order their dinner has been simplified to telling an app what you desire to eat for lunch and knock…knock the food is at your mouth. The app takes care of the order, it just brings your order like hell or high water .You don’t have to get worried that your desired food is not available with us stories from restaurant folks because these food ordering applications are suited up with a never say never attitude.

                                                                            the crux.

Inside of a share auto. Thirumangalam, Chennai.

At first i see Share auto drivers sitting inside their auto and arguing about the best Internet service provider and whose plan is the best to have.

After some time…

 A share auto driver(I’d like to call him Moorthy anna) comes to his stand after his chance. He checks out his phone and after some time he thinks of ordering food through Internet like his children did the other day. He also thinks about the reaction his friends will have when they see a delivery boy at the stand delivering the food he had ordered. He gets excited and decides to go ahead with the plan. There he has a trouble now, though he is getting good with his phone he has not ordered anything through his phone by himself. He calls up his wife and asks her to put his children on line. He asks his children about the application that brings food and asks how to order food through it, they give him the directions, he writes it down on a piece of paper (whatever language he is savvy with, probably Tamizh), his excited children also remind him that the language of phone is in Tamizh so he wont have more trouble in executing his plan. The children demanded for a treat before they hung up, he sighs-budges and sighs again. He drinks some water from his bottle and is all set to order some food online. He tries to accomplish this feat but couldn’t succeed. He calls his children again from his small phone and asks them to direct him as he is in the process. They surf together to order some food with little confusion here n there. This was also a test of patience for his children and a 21-centaury way of establishing some strong bond.

He is done with his food ordering, he had ordered two biriyani’s, which is slated to reach his stand in 27min.

He called his friend (Salaam) to tell him that there is a surprise and not to eat anywhere. Now, all he was thinking was the kind of reaction his auto stand mates will have when the meal arrives. He also accepts the fact that he had ordered a lunch which has an expensive aroma. Salaam arrives to the stand by now, he gets off his vehicle and goes for a piss, during the piss he calls Moorthy to ask him where he was and what was the surprise. Moorthy tells him that he is parked near the electric post, and orders him to come at once.

Delivery boy calls Moorthy to tell him that he has come near to the bus stand.

Moorthy attends the call and directs him to come to the share auto stand and ask for his name to any of the drivers present there, he gives his vehicle number.

The delivery boy goes to the auto stand as per Moorthy’s direction. The boy gets to the stand and asks for Moorthy to a driver present there, the driver Is puzzled and asked him what is it about. The boy sighed, told him that Moorthy had ordered some food and he had come to drop them off to him, boy asks for Moorthy again.

The driver gets off his vehicle and looks for Moorthy’s vehicle. There! he says, right under the electric post. The boy goes off to Moorthy.  Asks if he was Moorthy and gives away his order, collects the cash. The boy goes away.

Salaam who was with Moorthy in the cabin of his auto was freaked to see two hot Biriyani packets delivered to the stand. Few of his driver colleagues present there gathered to see the biriyani packets being delivered. Moorthy sitting there like, what’s up folks.
