A moment of resourcefulness

Pouring rain. Rickshawallas don't want to go all the way to Dattawadi without tacking on a 100 extra rupees to a 32 rupee ride. After sloshing through puddles and getting turned down by every rickshaw, I approached a traffic cop. I explained how the rickshawallas were attempting to cheat me. He immediately pulled over a rickshaw with his whistle, told the rickshaw it should be 30 rupees no matter what, and wrote down the rickshaw number. I was home and dry in no time. I felt proud for finally being resourceful! Yay!
