Disco Rickshaw

Auto-rickshaws are part of urbanization of new India; auto-rickshaw with tempered meters, or even without that, or not ready to go with meters even if meter is there; but that is all common and nothing new to talk about and what i find is something very special about auto-rickshaws in Hyderabad is the music system. Music systems of good quality is nothing new in family and luxury four-wheelers, but auto rickshaws in Hyderabad have a big music system with two-big speakers in rear part supported by very fast-n-wild Telgu music taste of their drivers. The default sound of these systems is so high that you feel to be in a disco and music is banging your head and thus, even if the rickshaw is going slow the music make you feel everything is very fast. I don't know its there love for music or mode of creating illusion for the person seated but it comes like a unwarranted demand before you and ends only with your short journey. Its your choice, you are going to Enjoy or Adjust!
